Safari Extension - macOS
It’s hard to argue that Safari is a major desktop browser, but I imagine it would be even harder to convince Safari users to part ways from iCloud Keychain when the only option to use Proton Pass on macOS is to install a new browser. Which is why an extension for Safari would be very much welcome. Perhaps even some smart integration with existing Proton Bridge? I’m sure your developers could cook up something nice for Safari users.

Thank you! I stupidly downloaded the app in February, thinking I'd use Firefox, then decided to wait for the Safari extension. Although I'd improved some of my passwords in my previous manager, what I'd transferred to Proton Pass in February had 27 weak passwords according to Proton. I'm sure Proton caught some that my previous manager had not! So, as I repair my passwords, I'm very happy to now be using Proton Pass. I truly appreciate the work you did to make the Safari extension a reality. Tnx, again!

Is it really that difficult? Maybe you need some new blood in there. Like we’re back in the 90’s where Mac users are second class citizens.

It is diifficult to comprehend how Proton can think it is acceptable to exclude the Safari browser from Proton Pass. I was just about to set up Proton Pass only to discover it would mean needing to use another browser, really? Is Proton creating a safari extension please?

Hi @65801207-proton, when will the safari extension be happening? Do you have a date set?

I was all set to migrate from iCloud Keychain but the family and I use Safari across the board, so this is a critical issue for me. I'll be migrating (and paying for a family pass) as soon as this is available.

This continues to be the single biggest holdup from adopting Proton's entire ecosystem for me. I need to be able to make the transition from 1Password Family as easy as possible on my wife, whose workflows all depend on Safari. It's super frustrating that the single biggest browser on MacOS still does not have support, especially considering how basic the dedicated mail app is, (my assumption is it's electron or just a web app in a wrapper). Where is all the dev work going?

this doesn't affect me at any level, but I believe it is a critical issue that needs to be remedied

Do you know anything new about the extension?

As your mission is a safer internet for all I'd appreciate a speedy solution.
Migrating others to Proton and is much easier if they don't have to "learn" new browsers, etc. The very users who will benefit the most.

Can’t make the switch until this is live. Hopefully this is prioritized. It’s been “on the roadmap” and “coming soon” for quite a while.

I am currently using the iPadOS app on my MacBook instead, but have to say that it is far from an ideal experience. Would love a proper plugin for Safari, such as I have for Firefox.

It would really help. I want to go back to Safari from Firefox.

Highly recommend we get this done. Been over 275 days since the team has updated us on this.

I've been using ProtonPass for my work-related passwords since launch, but can't switch to using it for my personal passwords until you support Safari for macOS.
I know this is 'planned', but can it be prioritised? It's been on your radar since launch and it's extremely disappointing that it's still not been released.

Ohne Safari-Extension ist eine sinnvolle Nutzung als langjähriger Apple-Nutzer schwer zu begründen. Ich werde den Standard-Browser nicht wegen Proton wechseln.
Bisher habe ich 1Password genutzt, beim Import sind Dokumente und diverse Kategorien aus 1PW aber nicht importiert worden. Sogar zu Strongbox hat der Export aus 1PW vollständiger als zu Proton funktioniert. Die kurze Zeit der kostenlosen Probenutzung wird schwerlich ausreichen, Proton als Alternative manuell zu vervollständigen und zu testen.

ProtonPass for web is nice, but having a native extension for Safari would make my life so much easier. Switching tabs and copy-pasting is tedious. I might have to switch to Firefox for my primary Mac browser.

I was looking to follow in my colleague's footsteps and switch to Proton for mail, vpn and password manager. However, no support for Safari is a no go. Very impressed with what you offer, but this is a dealbreaker.
