苹果用AI补上Safari浏览器短板：用户可“凭感觉”自创插件

长期以来，Safari浏览器因苹果严苛的开发要求，其扩展插件数量远不及谷歌Chrome和火狐Firefox等竞争对手。如今，苹果正借助人工智能（AI）来解决这一短板——邀请用户通过“凭感觉编码”（vibe-code）的方式，自行创建浏览器扩展。

在苹果公布的一段演示中，用户只需用自然语言描述需求，Safari即可自动生成相应扩展。例如，输入“保存并追踪来自网页的烹饪食谱，点击工具栏按钮即可查看已保存的食谱并添加备注”，Safari就会利用苹果智能生成一款名为“食谱管理器”的扩展。如果这一功能切实可用，它将填补Safari因缺少Chrome和Firefox热门扩展而留下的空白，同时也迎合了用户借助AI打造个人专属软件工具的趋势。

除了插件自创功能，苹果还为Safari推出了多项AI新特性。其中一项是自动标签页分类：系统会根据标签页内容，将同类标签自动归组。例如，所有与选购新款跑鞋相关的标签页会被整理到一个名为“运动鞋”的组中。事实上，谷歌Chrome早在2024年就推出了类似功能（右击标签页选择“整理”即可自动分组），但该功能似乎已遭谷歌停用；微软Edge和火狐Firefox也分别拥有标签分组和AI生成组名的能力。

此外，Safari新增了“帮用户修改已泄露密码”的功能。苹果密码应用可借助Safari和苹果智能，自动跳转至相关网站，登录并更新账户密码。这是谷歌去年率先在Chrome中推出的功能，但仅限“受支持网站”使用。

Safari还引入了“通知我”功能，可追踪网站变化。与市面上多数第三方工具不同，苹果允许用户指定关注的变化类型（如商品补货或降价），从而避免因细微变动频繁收到通知。

在竞争对手争相推出AI浏览功能的背景下，苹果对Safari新增的AI工具显得更为审慎。多数AI功能目前尚未完全成熟，苹果正采取更缓慢的节奏，确保嵌入的工具经过充分验证后才推向用户。

苹果正试图借助AI解决Safari最大的短板之一。长期以来，Safari一直缺乏竞争对手所拥有的丰富的扩展程序库，这主要是由于苹果对开发要求的严格要求。但现在，苹果邀请用户通过“直觉编码”的方式自行创建扩展程序。

苹果正利用AI修复Safari的扩展程序问题，Safari将邀请用户通过“直觉编码”创建自己的扩展程序。

在苹果分享的一段演示中，该公司展示了如何通过描述所需功能来让Safari创建扩展程序。“保存并追踪来自全网的美食食谱，”提示语写道，“点击工具栏按钮即可查看已保存的食谱，并为每个食谱添加备注。”随后，Safari利用苹果智能生成了一款名为“食谱管理”的扩展程序，旨在实现上述功能。

如果这项功能确实有效，它或许能填补Google Chrome和Mozilla Firefox扩展程序在Safari上无法使用所留下的空白。同时，这也应该会吸引那些希望借助AI为自己构建个人软件工具库的用户。

Safari在其他领域也在努力追赶竞争对手。过去几年里，Chrome、Edge和Firefox迅速推出了大量新AI功能，而Safari则因苹果缓慢地将AI融入其产品而大大落后。在此之前，与竞争对手相比，Safari的AI工具集十分有限，仅通过“高亮”功能提供了网页的AI摘要。

除了创建扩展程序的功能，苹果还为Safari推出了一项新的AI驱动功能，该功能将根据标签页中的内容自动将其分类。这意味着Safari可能会将你购买新跑鞋相关的所有标签页整理到一个名为“运动鞋”的组中。

谷歌在2024年为Chrome推出了类似功能，你可以右键点击标签页并选择“整理”功能来自动分组同类标签。但看起来谷歌可能已经停用了这项功能，因为它的专用网页会重定向到谷歌支持页面，我也无法在我的设置菜单中找到它。Edge同样可以根据相关性对标签页进行分组，而Firefox则可以利用AI生成标签组名称。

苹果还为Safari增加了另一项熟悉的功能：代为更改已泄露密码。通过这次更新，苹果的“密码”应用会利用Safari和苹果智能导航至网站、登录并更新你的账户密码。这是谷歌去年首次为Chrome宣布的一项功能，不过据该公司称，该功能仅适用于“受支持的网站”。

Safari还将获得一项新的“通知我”功能，你可以用它来追踪网站的变化。虽然已有多个第三方工具具备此功能，但苹果的差异化之处在于，你可以描述所关注的具体变化类型，比如商品补货或降价，这样你就不会因每一个微小变动而收到通知。

在竞争对手争相添加AI驱动的浏览功能之际，苹果在决定为Safari添加何种工具时则谨慎得多。大多数AI驱动功能尚未就绪，苹果似乎正采取较慢的步伐，以确保嵌入的工具已经过验证，能够可靠运行。

Apple is trying to solve one of Safari’s biggest weaknesses with AI. Safari has long lacked the robust library of extensions that its rivals have, mainly due to the stringent development requirements from Apple. But now, Apple is inviting users to essentially vibe-code their own extensions.

In a demo shared by Apple, the company showed how you can ask Safari to create an extension by describing it. “Save and track cooking recipes from around the web,” the prompt said. “Click the toolbar button to see your saved recipes and add notes to each.” From there, Safari used Apple Intelligence to generate a “Recipe Keeper” extension that’s supposed to do just that.
If the feature actually works, it could help fill the gap left by the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox extensions not available on Safari. It should also appeal to those building an arsenal of personal software for themselves with AI.
Safari is playing catch-up with rival browsers in other areas as well. Over the past couple of years, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox have quickly snapped up new AI features, while Safari has largely lagged behind as Apple slowly fed AI into its products. Until now, Safari’s AI toolset has been slim compared to competitors, as it has just offered AI summaries of webpages through a Highlights feature.
Aside from an extension-making feature, Apple revealed a new AI-powered feature for Safari that will automatically sort your tabs into categories based on what’s in them. That means Safari might organize all of your tabs related to the new running shoes you’re shopping for in a group called “sneakers.”
Google rolled out a similar feature for Chrome in 2024, which you could use to right-click a tab and select an “organize” feature to automatically group similar ones. But it looks like Google may have discontinued this feature, as its dedicated webpage redirects you to a Google support page, and I can’t seem to find it in my settings menu. Edge can similarly group tabs based on relevance, while Firefox can generate tab group names using AI.
Apple is adding another familiar feature to Safari as well: the ability to change compromised passwords on your behalf. With the update, Apple’s Passwords app uses Safari and Apple Intelligence to navigate to a website, sign in, and update your account’s passwords. It’s a feature Google first announced for Chrome last year, though it’s only available on “supported websites,” according to the company.
Safari is getting a new “Notify Me” feature, too, which you can use to track changes to a website. Several third-party tools already do this, but Apple is differentiating itself by allowing you to describe the kind of change you’re looking for, like a product restock or price drop, so you won’t get notified over every small change.
As competitors rush to add AI-powered browsing features, Apple is being a lot more selective about the kinds of tools it’s adding to Safari. Most AI-powered features just aren’t there yet, and it seems like Apple is taking a slower approach to make sure the kinds of tools embedded have been proven to work.
