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><dict></code> tag, add the following: <code><key>Enabled</key><true/></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><key>org.adblockplus...</key> + <dict> + <key>AddedDate</key> + <date>2021-09-23T14:00:47Z</date> + <key>Enabled</key> + <true/> + <key>WebsiteAccess</key> + <dict> + <key>Allowed Domains</key> + <array/> + <key>Has Injected Content</key> + <true/> + <key>Level</key> + <string>All</string> + </dict> + </dict> +</code></pre> +<p>After following those simple steps you should have working extensions in Safari.
