<p>2021-09-23</p>

<p>I have an old 2011 MacBook Air that is running the latest version of macOS Catalina thanks to the very wonderful <a href="http://dosdude1.com/catalina/">Catalina Patcher</a> by dosdude1. This project has made it possible for me to run and test some of the latest software from Apple - namely Safari 15.</p>
+
<p>I ran into a small bug early on though – Safari extensions couldn’t be activated via the preferences menu. Luckily I discovered a very simple fix. My hope is this might help others (as small of a demographic that might be) who run into the same issue with the Catalina Patcher.</p>

<ul>
-<li>Close/Quit Safari completely</li>

<li>Open the Finder and use the shortcut <code>⌘ Shift G</code></li>
-<li>Paste the following to navigate to the proper folder: <code>~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari/AppExtensions</code></li>
-<li>Open the <code>Extensions.plist</code> in your favourite text editor (I’m a big fan of Panic's Nova)</li>
-<li>Below each extensions <code>&lt;dict&gt;</code> tag, add the following: <code>&lt;key&gt;Enabled&lt;/key&gt;&lt;true/&gt;</code></li>

<li>Save the file and relaunch Safari</li>
</ul>

<p>Reference of what it should look like (AdBlock for this example):</p>
-<pre><code>&lt;key&gt;org.adblockplus...&lt;/key&gt;
- &lt;dict&gt;
- &lt;key&gt;AddedDate&lt;/key&gt;
- &lt;date&gt;2021-09-23T14:00:47Z&lt;/date&gt;
- &lt;key&gt;Enabled&lt;/key&gt;

- &lt;key&gt;WebsiteAccess&lt;/key&gt;
- &lt;dict&gt;
- &lt;key&gt;Allowed Domains&lt;/key&gt;

- &lt;key&gt;Has Injected Content&lt;/key&gt;
