Apple is using AI to fix Safari’s extension problem

TL;DR

  • Safari is introducing an AI-powered feature that allows users to create extensions by describing their desired functionality, aiming to solve a long-standing weakness.
  • This 'vibe-coding' feature could help bridge the gap in extension availability compared to browsers like Chrome and Firefox.
  • New AI features for Safari include automatic tab sorting into categories, changing compromised passwords on behalf of the user, and a 'Notify Me' function to track specific website changes.
  • Apple appears to be taking a more cautious approach to AI integration, focusing on features that are proven to work effectively.
