If you're running iOS 17 , Safari now comes with a translation feature baked into the browser, making it easier than ever to translate a web page on iPhone and iPad.

Once enabled, text is translated in-line on the webpage that you're viewing. It's a handy tool if you want to read websites that are written in different languages, and it's available right in the address bar in Safari.

With this in mind, here's how you can translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

Choose Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate Plan and trade in an old device to get Apple's iPhone 15 Pro , iPad 9 , and an Apple Watch SE for absolutely nothing. A fantastic deal if you're looking to upgrade all of your Apple devices.

How to translate a web page on iPhone in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

In iOS 15 and later, the ability to translate a web page's language to your native language is now a built-in part of Safari. As such, you no longer need a third-party app to translate. Here's how to use built-in language translation in Safari in iOS 14, iOS 15, and later.

• Tap the action button on the left side of the address bar while visiting a site that you need to translate. The button looks like two A's next to each other.
• Tap Translate to [Your Device Language] .

• Tap Enable Translation if prompted.

Your page will then be translated into the primary language that you've set on your device. If you want to revert back to the page's original language, take the following steps.

• Tap the translate button in the Safari address bar. It takes the place of the standard action button on the left side of the address bar.
• Tap View Original .

The page will revert to its original language.

If you're running a version of iOS 13 or earlier on your device, then a third-party app with a translation extension is what you'll want to use. Microsoft's Translator extension is an excellent tool for the task, as it translates the web page in place when activated.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator is a great third-party solution for translating web pages, and its translations take place in-line on the web, rather than taking you to another, translated version of the page like some other apps.

Once you've got it downloaded, you can set up the action extension for translation web pages.

• Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
• While viewing a web page, tap the share button .
• Scroll to the left on the bottom row of icons.

• Tap the More button.
• Turn the switch next to Microsoft Translator to the green 'on' position.

Now that you have the app installed, you can use it in Safari from the share menu.

• Head to the web page that you want to translate.

• Tap the share button at the bottom of the display.
• Tap the Microsoft Translator button. The extension will then translate the entire page for you.

Often find yourself on websites with text in a foreign language? If you use Safari, there's no need to go to Google Translate. You can translate web pages between seven languages right in Safari on a Mac.

Starting with Safari 14.0, Apple included a translation feature directly in the browser. As of this writing, the feature is in beta, but fully functional. If your Mac is running the latest version of macOS Mojave, Catalina,  Big Sur , or newer, you can access the translation feature.

The translation functionality works between the following languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

By default, you can translate any of the above languages to English. You can also add more languages to the mix (we'll talk more about that below).

To get started, open a web page in one of the supported languages. Safari will automatically recognize that language, and you'll see "Translation Available" in the URL bar, along with a Translation button; click it.

If this is the first time you've used the feature, a pop-up will appear. Click "Enable Translation" to turn on the feature.

In the translation menu, select "Translate to English."

The text on the page will instantly convert to English, as shown in the image below. The Translation button will also turn blue.

To disable the Translation feature and return to the original language, click the Translation button again, and then select "View Original."

As we mentioned above, you can also translate to languages other than English. To do so, click the Translation button, and then select "Preferred Languages."

This opens the "Language & Region" menu in System Preferences. Here, click the plus sign (+) to add a new preferred language. You can add multiple languages here while continuing to use English as the default language across your Mac.

In the pop-up, select the languages you want to add, and then click "Add."

System Preferences will ask if you want to make this your default language. Choose the previous default language if you want it to remain the status quo.

Now that you've added a new preferred language, you'll see the translation button even when you visit web pages that are in English.

The translation process for a preferred language is the same: click the Translation button in the URL bar, and then select "Translate to [the language you selected]."

Again, you can view the original at any time by simply clicking "View Original" in the Translation menu.

If you're traveling to a new country, you can also use the built-in Translate app on your iPhone or iPad to quickly translate speech between multiple languages.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to use translate webpages in safari for mac.

Ever ended up on a webpage in a different language and wished you could translate it instantly? With the latest versions of Safari for Mac, you can use a native translation feature to convert a webpage from a foreign language to your native tongue. This is fantastic for many obvious reasons, particularly if you want to read international news from an original source rather than a regurgitated spin version from a US outlet.

Safari’s built-in language translation feature is for modern versions of Safari and macOS, so as long as you’re running Safari 14 or newer in macOS Big Sur or newer, you’ll be good to go. If you’re on an earlier version of MacOS, then you may find use in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, which also have native language translation features available, or you could use an iPhone or iPad if they’re running modern system software, as Safari for iOS and iPadOS have the translation capability too.

Want to try out the new translation feature to translate webpages in Safari on the Mac? Then read on!

How to Translate Webpage Language in Safari for Mac

Assuming your Mac is running a modern version of macOS and Safari, here’s how you can translate webpages:

There you go. Now you’ve learned how to take advantage of the new built-in translator in Safari on your Mac.

Current supported languages for translation are English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

If you’re unable to find the native translator in Safari and you’re running Safari 14 or later on macOS 11 or later, it’s probably because you’re living in an unsupported region or trying to use an unsupported language. This new feature is currently limited to users living in the United States, UK, and Canada, but will expand as time goes on. If you’re too impatient to wait, you can change your Mac’s region to either of these countries and then access the translator.

Do you use an iPhone or iPad as your primary mobile device? If you’ve updated your device to iOS 14/iPadOS 14 or later, you will be pleased to know that you can translate webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad in a similar manner as detailed here .

We hope you were able to access Safari’s built-in translator and convert foreign webpages to English without any issues. What are your overall thoughts on this addition to Safari? Let us know your experiences, thoughts, and tips in the comments!

I live in the Netherlands. Using iMac 10.15.7, Safari 14.0.3. I did not get the translate icon. In iMac preferences, in Language and Region I changed Country to US and in UK, after restart neither produced a translate icon. I tried iPhone 11, iOS 14.4.2, tried Safari using same website, No translation icon….

What is wrong?

Translate is available for English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. The Mac must be running macOS 11 or newer to have this capability.

On the iPhone and iPad, the translate feature is tucked behind the webpage options accessible in the URL bar.

For Mac users running prior versions of MacOS, Chrome offers a similar webpage translation feature.

Conversely, I’m using Safari 14.03 on a Mac in France and I have got the translate icon.

I am using Safari 14.0.3 on MacBook Pro 10.14.6 in the UK and I do not get the translate icon showing when using a foreign language site.

I also have an iPad not showing there either.

The translation feature is only available in macOS Big Sur or later for Mac, and iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or later on iPhone and iPad. There was a typo by the original author which mentioned Safari 14 as the prerequisite rather than macOS 11, that has been fixed.

Hope that helps, sorry about the confusion!

This very necessary link provides an error:

https://osxdaily.com/?p=108867

Please fix and resend an email to subscribers.

I’ve been trying this with 14.0.3 on Catalina, but like Jeff, I do not get the translate icon on a foreign website.

I’ve been trying all afternoon with this tip, safari 14 latest Catalina. No translate icon ever appears; it almost feels like it hasn’t been switched on. Any thoughts?

I am running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacMini with MacOS 10.15.7. It does not have the translate icon. I am also running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacBookPro with MacOS 11..2.1. It has the translate icon. When I first tried to post this reply, the osxdaily.com website reported this to be a duplicate reply.

This is in macOS 11 or newer only, it’s a Big Sur feature not a Safari 14 feature

I am using Safari 14.03 on a Mac running 10.15.7 in the US and I do not get the translate icon when I go to a foreign language site. Could this be a OS 11 only feature?

I have 2 macintosh computers. The first is a MacMini running 10.15.7 with Safari 14.0.3 and it does not have the translate icon. The second is a MacBookPro running 11.2.1 with Safari 14.0.3. It has the translate icon. Both computers were checked using the http://www.lemonde.fr website.

I have the same problem as Jeff, using the same Safari and latest Catalina. Almost feels like translate isn’t switched on.

Any thoughts?

Same here. Catalina with Safari 14.03. Texas is in the US, though some might disagree.

Webpage Translation in Safari on Mac

Safari analyzes each webpage you visit to determine its language. This determination is made entirely on your device. If the webpage can be translated to any of your preferred languages, you can choose to translate it. If you translate, Safari sends the webpage’s contents (including the full text) to Apple’s servers for translation. After the translation is complete, Apple discards the contents of the webpage.

Note: The availability of translations and the number of languages that can be translated may vary by country or region.

If the webpage was not viewed in Private Browsing mode, then Safari also sends the webpage’s address to Apple. Apple stores the address for up to 5 years to improve Apple’s products, services, and technologies. Since Apple does not store the contents of webpages you translate, only publicly accessible webpages are used to improve Apple’s products, services, and technologies.

Webpage contents and addresses sent to Apple aren’t associated with your Apple ID , email address, or other data Apple may have from your use of other Apple services.

In order to provide you with a better browsing experience, after translating a particular webpage, other webpages in the same domain that you visit within the same tab may also be translated. Safari stops automatically translating when you visit a webpage that is no longer in the same original language, or a webpage on a different domain.

7 Browser Extensions to Help Translate Different Languages

Harness the full potential of your browser with add-ons that can supercharge everything from web searches to email writing . For language learners who want to grow their vocabulary and develop confidence, browser extensions are an opportunity to casually practice while online. But before you download anything, here’s how to audit a browser extension to ensure it’s safe.

Whether you're streaming Netflix series during your spare time or gobbling up the latest tech news, at least one of the following picks is likely worth incorporating into your language learning process. Test the options that spark your interest and simply uninstall anything that you don’t enjoy. Although you will not receive speaking practice, these browser extensions can help hone your reading and listening skills.

Language Reactor is for anyone who wants to practice a new language while streaming videos on their computer. After the browser extension is installed, YouTube videos are able to display two sets of captions at the same time. The list of available languages is impressive, and hovering over a captioned word displays a translation dictionary.

If you binge-watch movies and TV shows on your computer, Language Reactor’s other primary function is to provide dual captions for Netflix entertainment. Practice English with the minions from Despicable Me or brush up on your Korean during the Squid Game bloodbath.

In addition to Netflix and YouTube, Language Reactor requests access to your data from Amazon. To turn this off, click the puzzle icon located to the right of the address bar, and select Manage Extensions . Tap on Details , toggle off automatic access to listed sites, and manually pick the sites.

The basic extension is free. More features, like the ability to save vocabulary words, can be unlocked with a $5 monthly subscription. Language Reactor is available for Chrome, but its website says Firefox and Edge versions are in the works.

Reviews editor Julian Chokkattu describes a Samsung smartphone in a video with Japanese subtitles from Language Reactor.

Google’s language tools receive a fair amount of criticism from teachers and human translators. When pasting large blocks of text into Google for translation, the subtle complexities of language are smoothed over. Literal meanings are easy to convey, but intentions and contexts are difficult to parse. Keeping these limitations in mind, Google Translate, Google Dictionary, and Google Input Tools are solid browser extensions for Chrome users.

The Google Translate extension is simple to use for pop-up translations as you browse the internet. You can adjust the settings so pop-ups happen automatically when you highlight a word, or buttons can appear beneath the highlighted word for you to click on to see the translation. Tap on the speaker icon to hear a word aloud. If this extension is pinned at the top of your browser, anytime you click on the icon, a text box for translation immediately appears.

Google Dictionary does not support as many languages as Google Translate, but the extension is useful if you’re studying one of the available options. When double-clicking on a word, the definition pops up on screen. For more advanced readers, this can be crucial for learning new words without relying on direct translations. If you would like to go back and practice later, Google Dictionary lets you store a list of defined words.

Typing in German or Italian with a standard English keyboard is straightforward, but what if you're learning Hindi or Chinese? With Google Input Tools you can write in different languages. The transliteration feature allows you to type the phonetic spelling of a word and choose the corresponding script from a dropdown menu. In addition, the handwriting tool lets you draw characters from other languages by using your mouse cursor.

While reading articles online, Toucan automatically translates a small portion of the content for blended language learning. Hovering over translations by Toucan shows the original word and allows you to play an audible pronunciation. The standard extension is free to use, but a subscription plan is offered for reviewing saved words and avoiding ads. Toucan is compatible with Chrome and Firefox.

For English speakers, the browser extension offers translations in 11 languages. Spanish, German, Korean, Arabic, and Hebrew are a few of the choices. The company is working to expand its offered languages with additions such as Vietnamese, Swedish, and Farsi.

By cherry-picking words out of larger blocks of text, you may not experience complete contextual accuracy while using Toucan. When approaching a new language, employing a myriad of learning strategies is better than relying on a single source of information. Toucan has its drawbacks but may be a fantastic tool for people who read multiple articles a day and would like supplemental language practice.

Senior writer Andy Greenberg’s reporting about ice cream from McDonald’s, with Arabic inserted by Toucan.

With Mate Translate , words or phrases you read online can be translated into more than 100 languages. Double-click on a single word for a white text box to show the translation. If you tap on the speaker icon, a person will say the word aloud. Translate more than one word by highlighting the portion you would like to better understand and either clicking on the Mate Translate logo that appears below the selected words or using the keyboard shortcut, which is initially set to Shift + T .

Watching entertainment in other languages is a popular and accessible learning strategy; if you’re a Netflix subscriber, Mate Translate can be used on subtitles. The browser extension also allows you to translate entire webpages.

As a versatile option, Mate Translate is available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and Safari. Unlock extra features for the extension, like synonym access and a dark mode, with a subscription to Mate Pro.

The core functionality of TransOver is similar to Google Translate. Pick a language you want to practice and set the browser extension to activate either when you highlight a word or hover over a word. It’s available on Firefox , Chrome , and Opera . The extension is also on Edge but is poorly reviewed by users of that browser. TransOver is a simplistic, free option for people who want to occasionally translate words while surfing the Internet and don’t need a complicated browser extension cluttering their day-to-day user experience.

Why I Still Prefer Gaming PCs Over Consoles

I use this browser to save power on my laptop, this new browser is a productivity miracle, quick links.

• Reverso Translation
• DeepL Translator
• Mate Translate
• Lingvanex Translator
• Google Translate

Key Takeaways

• Reverso Translation, DeepL Translator, Mate Translate, Lingvanex Translator, and Google Translate can help you navigate foreign-language websites seamlessly.
• Each translation tool offers unique features like context-aware translations, multi-browser compatibility, and extensive language support.
• While premium options exist, the free versions typically suffice for basic translation needs.

Nearly half of all websites are published in languages other than English. Since I'm only fluent in a couple of languages, I'm completely dependent on browser translation tools to access global information and entertainment.

In no particular ranking, let me introduce you to five browser-based translation tools that help me navigate the World Wide Web seamlessly.

1 Reverso Translation

Reverso stands out from the many translation tools available by focusing on context. This AI-powered translation tool uses massive language datasets to recognize how word meanings can differ in diverse circumstances. Rather than simply translating words individually, Reverso checks the full sentence or text to determine the most appropriate translation.

For instance, let's say you regularly visit German websites or are learning German. You can trust that Reverso will translate Der Bank as the bench or the bank appropriately, depending on the way it's used in the sentence.

This contextual approach isn't just for written text. Reverso can accurately translate your video subtitles in real-time as you use video streaming services like Netflix and YouTube. If subtitles aren't available in your preferred language, Reverso steps in to fill the gap.

Beyond translations, Reverso offers features to enhance your language learning . With a Reverso account, free or premium, you can save your favorite words and most-used phrases, sync your translations between all your devices, and access flashcards, quizzes, and games. There are even Word of the Week notifications.

Of course, no tool is perfect. Reverso only supports around 26 languages, much fewer than some of its competitors. You'd also need a premium account to translate longer texts. Without an account, you can only translate about 150 characters on the web page at a time.

If you're not keen on upgrading to a premium account, you can click See more to translate your selected text on the Reverso website.

The Reverso browser extension is only available on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. However, dedicated Mac and Windows apps are also available, so you should still be able to use Reverso in your browser—even if it's not one of the supported three—because the apps allow text selection in the same way.

2 DeepL Translator

Launched in 2017, DeepL has now become one of the top free browser translation tools. Similar to Reverso, DeepL uses artificial intelligence (AI) systems trained on vast language datasets, which lends it an edge over its competitors in terms of accuracy.

With a pro account, you get unlimited text translation, entire page translation, and more customization options, but the free version is typically enough for most people. You can select and translate text of up to 1,500 characters in your browser without even creating an account. It supports over 30 languages.

A clean interface presents your translations without prompts to sign up or any other distractions. You'll be able to change the translation language, copy the translation to your clipboard, listen to the translation or the original text, or look up dictionary entries (if you're translating only one word). If you'd prefer a larger display of the translation, you can also click Open in DeepL.com .

The DeepL translator app for Mac and Windows allows highlight-and-translate directly within websites so that you can use DeepL in any of your favorite browsers. Alternatively, you can install DeepL extensions in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

3 Mate Translate

The point of installing translation extensions is to remove any friction in your translation process. If you're a Safari devotee, Mate Translate is the most natural, frictionless option for you, as it's one of the few tools with a Mac app that has a built-in Safari extension.

Mate offers an intuitive interface that allows your translations to flow without any distractions. You can translate the entire page or select text with a single click across Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and Safari.

Right there on the web page, you can change your preferred language to one of the 100+ languages Mate supports. You can also listen to the original text or the translation and save the translation to your phrasebook for later.

Customization options include dark mode, shortcuts, tooltip size, context menu, and more—all of which can be edited on the Mate Translate Settings page.

With a paid subscription, you can unlock advanced tools like phonetic translation and other language-learning features. But the free version is enough if you just want to translate web pages or parts of websites you visit.

4 Lingvanex Translator

Lingvanex offers a host of browser extensions for convenient webpage translation into 105+ supported languages. Simply highlight words, phrases, or entire texts to get the meaning in your preferred language instantly.

While Lingvanex's setup isn't so different from others, its presentation differs. With this tool, your translations are presented alongside the pronunciations for both the original and translated text within a sidebar.

If you'd rather translate the entire page, you only need to right-click somewhere on the page. Then, click Translate the entire web page .

The translated page will open in a new tab in your browser and it will be largely accurate. Despite Lingvanex's claims, I've found some inaccuracies that show that this tool might not be the best if accuracy is a huge deal for you.

For instance, in the image above, Kultur in the menu options wasn't translated. Also, it should be it was in a stadium , not she was in a stadium , as in the final sentence. Still, Lingvanex offers a capable free option for Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, and Opera users, given its text-to-speech offerings in close to 110 languages.

5 Google Translate

Since its launch in 2006, Google Translate has become the most popular translation tool—and that's for good reason. With well over 200 supported languages, Google Translate remains the undisputed king of translation.

In the past, Google Translate was associated with many language errors because its translations were very literal, without consideration of language functions, semantics, or the context of the text. However, thanks to several new AI-powered features, the translation quality has greatly improved. Other features like real-time photo and speech translations prove that Google Translate is set on innovation.

Of course, no system is perfect. Aside from the built-in functionality within Chrome, there are no official browser extensions for any of your favorite browsers. You may be able to find a community-developed unofficial version, but I don't recommend these extensions because of security issues .

Nevertheless, you can use Google Translate in any browser by visiting the Google Translate website .

You'll be able to paste text you've highlighted, upload images or other documents for translation, or add the URL of a web page you'd like translated. If you sign in with your Google account, you can save your translations and manage your translation history.

Each of these browser translation tools offers several features that will cater to different needs. Whether you prioritize accuracy, language support, or additional learning features, there's a tool on this list for you.

How To Automatically Translate A Website In Safari

Are you trying to navigate the web in a foreign language? Thankfully, Safari now has a feature that lets you automatically translate webpages into your preferred language. This makes it easier to browse and understand websites in diffrent languages without the need for any third-party software or extensions. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to use Safari to automatically translate webpages and why this is such a useful tool.

Let’s start by discussing how to automatically translate a webpage in Safari. First, open Safari on your device and navigate to the webpage you’d like to translate. Once the page is loaded, tap the ‘aA’ icon in the top left corner of your screen which will bring up a menu of options. From here, select the language you would like to translate it into and tap ‘Enable Translation.’

Once enabled, Safari will detect if it can automatically translate any foreign webpages you visit based on your Preferred Languages list. When visiting a website in a different language, Safari will offer you an option at the top of the page that says “Translate Page” with an arrow pointing downwards next to it. Tap this button and select the language you would like it translated into from the drop-down menu.

The benefits of using Safari’s automatic translation feature are numerous: it saves time, makes navigating websites much easier, and eliminates any potential language barriers that might otherwise exist. Additionally, no third-party software or extensions are required as all of this is already built directly into Safari itself!

In conclusion, usng Safari’s automatic translation feature is an easy way to quickly and accurately translate webpages into your preferred language without needing any additional software or extensions. We hope this guide was helpful for understanding how to use this convenient tool!

Making Safari Automatically Translate

To make Safari automatically translate web pages on your iOS device, start by opening the Safari browser. Once you’re at a web page that you’d like to have translated, tap the ‘More’ button located in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu with options for sharing, finding, and more. Turn the switch next to Microsoft Translator to the green ‘on’ position and tap ‘Done’. From now on, whenever you open a page in Safari that needs translating, it will be automatically translated into your preferred language.

Can Safari Automatically Translate Web Pages?

Yes, Safari can automatically translate web pages! It uses your Preferred Languages list to detect foreign webpages. Once it detects a foreign language, it will display a pop-up window that allows you to choose whether or not you wuld like to have the page translated. If you choose to translate the page, the entire webpage will be translated into the language listed in your Preferred Languages list. This feature makes it easier to view and understand webpages in languages other than your native one.

Automatic Website Translation

In order to get a website to translate automatically, you need to enable the translation feature in your browser. On a computer, open your Chrome browser and click on the ‘More’ icon at the top right corner. Then select ‘Settings’ from the drop-down menu and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Advanced’. Under the ‘Languages’ section, select ‘Language’ and then turn on the feature for ‘Offer to translate pages that aren’t in a language you read.’ Now when you come across a webpage that isn’t in a language you understand, Chrome will offer to automatically translate it for you.

Enabling Auto-Translate in Safari on iPhone

To get Safari to auto translate on your iPhone, open Safari and go to a website in a language you’d like to translate. Tap the aA button at the top of the page and select the language you woud like to translate to. Then tap Enable Translation. Once this is enabled, your phone will automatically detect and translate foreign language webpages for you as you browse.

Troubleshooting Safari Translation Issues

If your Safari is not translating, it may be because the web page you are trying to view is either not in the same original language or is on a different domain. Safari automatically translates web pages based on their language and domain, and will only translate them if they remain unchanged. If either of these two conditions are not met, then Safari will not translate the page for you.

Safari’s Translate Option: Where Is It?

To find the Translate option in Safari, firt go to the web page you want to translate. Look for the Smart Search field at the top of the page. If the page can be translated, the Translate button will appear in this field. Click on this button and a drop-down menu will appear with a list of languages from which you can choose. Select your desired language and Safari will begin translating your page automatically.

Safari Extension for Translating Text

This extension is just one click away, and can be used whenever you need to quickly translate entire webpages or single paragraphs. It can even translate text that you write in emails, forms or documents. With this helpful tool, you can easily access the translations you need with just a few clicks!

Does the iPhone Feature Automatic Translation?

Yes, the Translate app on iPhones has automatic translation capabilities. The app can translate text, voice, and conversations between any of the supported languages. You can even download languages to translate entrely on a device, even without an internet connection. Translation is available for most of the major languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and many more.

Enabling Translation on an iPhone

To turn on translation on your iPhone, go to your device’s Settings app. Tap General and then tap Language & Region. Under the Languages section, select Add Language, then choose the language you want to translate from the list of available languages. Once you’ve added the language, tap Translate and make sure that Translate is set to On. Now whnever you copy text on your iPhone, you can slide your finger over Paste and translate ? [Language] and then let go to instantly translate it.

All you need to do is enable the Microsoft Translator in the browser settings, and Safari will detect any foreign webpages you visit and offer to translate them automatically. To turn translation off, simply go to your Chrome settings and toggle the “Offer to translate pages that aren’t in a language you read” setting. With this feature, it’s easier than ever to quickly access information from websites all around the world.

Here are the best new Safari extensions to download for iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 (Updated)

One of the flagship new features in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is the redesigned Safari web browser. While the highlight of the new Safari is its user interface, it also gains compatibility with more powerful, Mac-like browser extensions. Now that iOS 15 is available to download, there are plenty of extensions hitting the App Store, and we’ve put together a list of some to try out.

Users of 1Password will love the new Safari extension in the latest update. The 1Password extension gives you the ability to see any password right in Safari and fill in password fields with saved ones. The extension can automatically fill in two-factor authentication codes as well. If you’re using an iPad, you will get the entire desktop 1Password experience. The extension will appear in the toolbar for you to access at any time.

The developer behind Apollo for Reddit, Christian Selig, has created a new Safari extension called Amplosion. Amplosion redirects you to the original webpage when you open an AMP link in Safari. The app also lets you keep track of how many times you’ve visited an AMP link and how many times you’ve used Amplosion to avoid one. Amplosion is priced at just $1.99 and if you hate AMP as much as I do it’s well worth it.

Christian has also created an extension that adds an HTML web inspector to Safari. The app is priced at $0.99 and is well worth it – since Apple still hasn’t added its own inspector.

CardPointers

The new CardPointers Safari extension knows what deals you may be able to take advantage of on different shopping websites. CardPointers says that it’s compatible with thousands of websites. While shopping in Safari with the extension enabled, you’ll get a notice telling you which card to use for the best deal as well as any special offers.

Web Inspector

This app is a simple web inspector that appears to be designed to look familiar to those who frequently use one in Chrome on the Mac. This extension lets you inspect webpages and edit their elements, enter JavaScript commands, view network requests, and more. It’s also entirely free.

I just released Web Inspector for iOS and iPadOS. It's a Safari extension for web developers to edit web pages on the fly, debug JavaScript, and more. It's free with no in-app purchases: https://t.co/u5mBSkMKnV pic.twitter.com/U1PdXv9VjK — Zhenyi Tan (@zhenyitan) September 20, 2021

The app’s new Safari extension can automatically translate sites in 40 languages without any work required by the user. You can also select text and get a pop-up window if you want to translate it to another language. The app is pricey though at $29.99 but if you frequently need to translate different sites in a multitude of languages it might be worth the buy.

Vidimote is a new Safari extension that allows you to control video playback from the toolbar. The extension lets you change the speed of videos, jump ahead, switch between PiP and fullscreen, and more. Vidimote is $4.99 and available now.

StopTheMadness

StopTheMadness is a Safari extension that helps you take control of websites you frequently visit. The extensions lets you enable native iOS features like contextual menus, text editing, drag and drop, and autofill.
