Yes, there were new updates related to Safari extensions announced at WWDC. Here are the key points:
-
Management of Safari Extensions: Safari extensions can now be managed on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with a new Safari extension configuration. This allows IT administrators to define which extensions are allowed, giving users the ability to turn them on or off, control whether an extension is always on or always off, and configure extension website access by domain and subdomain. This functionality also works with Safari private browsing (What’s new in device management).
-
MDM Integration: IT teams now have the ability to manage and enable Safari extensions directly from Mobile Device Management (MDM), allowing customization of Safari for organizations right out of the box (What’s new in device management).
-
Transparency and Control on macOS: macOS now provides system notifications when extensions are installed, making it easier to understand and control if and when your app is running. Extensions can still be disabled in the login items and extensions settings (What’s new in privacy).
These updates aim to provide better control and transparency over Safari extensions, enhancing both user experience and administrative capabilities.
