Thanks for this!

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Mac to develop on, so this is not something I am able to do, as I understand that Safari extensions now require a paid developer licence from Apple to publish, so this will have to go low-priority and unsupported for now.

Any regular contributors, please do get in touch via Discord in #extension-dev if you've got an interest in this!
