How to use Safari extensions on iPhone and iPad

There are two major types of Safari extensions currently available for iPhone and iPad:

Embedded– Extensions that run in the background like content blockers, auto-fill passwords, auto-correct grammar, etc. However, you may have to turn it on via Settings → Safari → Extensions → toggle on the extension. Manual – Extensions that you’ll have to manually run from the Share Sheet or the Extension tab, quite like clicking a Safari extension in Mac.

For more details, check out our step-by-step guide on using Safari extension on iPhone and iPad.

Best Safari extension for security and protection

1. AdGuard – Block ads on the go

Extension category – Embedded 99.99% of web surfers hate ads. But if you love or enjoy those disturbing elements, feel free to skip to the next extension. However, it is way more than a free tool to block ads and trackers. AdGuard also offers advanced tracking protection, up to 4x faster speed acceleration, reduced traffic consumption, better battery performance, enabling a faster, smoother web surfing experience. The neat thing is that you can manage what content to block, i.e., which filters, rules, and exceptions to apply. And if you want to avail custom or advanced security filters and DNS privacy, the premium version could help. Key features

2. 1Password – Protect your passwords and more

Indeed, it is one of the most potent password managers out there. What I absolutely adore is that you can organize your passwords under different categories for easy access. However, it no longer offers a free plan, which might be a sore point for many users. Key features

Plus, a built-in reliable VPN encrypts your data, whether you’re at the home, office, or public network, without compromising on browsing speed. Clario also offers multiplatform support, i.e., you can access it across all your devices: Mac, iPhone, iPad, and web. There’s also 24/7 live expert assistance that’ll help you through any related roadblocks. The only chink in the armor is that it’s expensive, and you’ll have to cough up $9/month for a single device.
