【Platform】 Addons supports seamless usage across all Apple platforms, allowing for data synchronization between iPhone, iPad, and iMac devices. 【Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey】 One of the highlights of Addons is its support for Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey scripts. With this feature, you can add custom scripts to your Safari to achieve more functionality, such as automatic pagination, harassment blocking, automatic expansion, webpage translation, and more. This feature is very powerful and can give your Safari unlimited possibilities. 【Resource Sniffing】 Resource sniffing is another standout feature of Addons. It supports automatically merging and converting m3u8 files to mp4. It also supports background playback and export of videos, allowing you to enjoy high-definition movies anytime, anywhere. 【Customized Ad Filter】 Addons not only helps you block annoying ads, but also speeds up webpage browsing and provides a better user experience. Similar to AdGuard and Adblock Plus, Addons' custom rule function allows you to control ad blocking accuracy more flexibly, meeting your personalized needs. 【Tagit Mode】 The ad filtering feature allows you to get rid of annoying ads while browsing web pages. Addons supports tagit mode, which allows you to remove web page ads while retaining useful content, making your browsing experience more pure and comfortable. 【Smart Search】 The smart search feature allows you to quickly switch Safari search engines by using [trigger word + space + keyword]. You don't need to manually change settings multiple times; it can be done with just one click. 【Web Dark Mode】 Finally, Addons also supports webpage dark mode, helping you better protect your eyes and avoid the frustration of overly strong white light at night. In summary, Addons is a feature-rich and easy-to-use Safari extension that allows you to customize your Safari with more functionality and useful tools, giving your Safari unlimited possibilities!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Addons at none against Python's shown. Python's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
