How to Install Safari Browser Extensions on Your iPhone

July 8, 2016

Browser extensions are great customization tools that enhance your web browsing experience. If you’re using Google or Firefox online, chances are you already have handy extensions plugged in to the browser to help you read something later or save your passwords with ease. You can do the same with your default iOS browser too. In this post, I’ll show you how to install Safari browser extensions on your iPhone so you can enhance your mobile web browsing experience as well.

How to Install Safari Browser Extensions on Your iPhone

To install a Safari extension on an iPhone, you need to download the relevant app from the App Store. You’ll find all of Safari extensions available in the Safari Extensions Gallery, or you can search for them in the App store from your iPhone itself. The extensions are categorized into the following categories mentioned below:

Productivity; Social Networking; Security; Entertainment; Bookmarking; Search Tools; Developer; Shopping; News; Translation; Photos; URL Shorteners; RSS Tools and Others.

The process to install an app extension differs in each case, but I’ll show you an example of how to install a few of them.
