Safari V12 Unsupported

[themene]

Latest Safari version has new extension requirements not met by this extension.

Anyone have any idea how much worked it be to fix this?

Edit: I guess this guy exists.

Shameless self-promotion but…

I ended up writing a tiny Mac app to fill the void left by this missing mailto: plugin. It's called Open In Webmail.

I looked at what it might take to do this in a new Safari 12 compatible extension. I believe to intercept mailto: clicks, an extension would require permissions to read Webpage Contents for all webpages. For something as simple as this, that seemed like a lot of trust to ask for.

As an app, all you receive is the mailto: URL — that seemed ideal.

Another perk of being an app — it automatically works system-wide with other browsers and apps.
