I was feeling a little remiss for not having really tested Safari 12 since the upgrade to Mojave so I thought I'd give it a go.
First thing I found was it's fast, really fast.
Second thing I found was the extension gallery. No legacy extensions ! Now you are limited to a small range of approved extensions most of which are "pay for" and are effectively applications on the App Store.
Here is what happened when I tried to add my ExpressVPN extension;
Strangely my Enpass extension is still working a "hand me down" from the previous version of Safari although it does not appear in the Gallery.
I assume the list will grow over time but it sure is a departure from the past versions of Safari. I suppose it reflects Apple's current emphasis on system security.
I wonder what others think about this. I'm going to continue with my test, I've been disappointed with features and functions in the past but performance seems pretty impressive.
