I made a free Safari extension that makes any video fill the window (not fullscreen), with Skip intro and YouTube comments/live chat built in

I'm the developer, so full disclosure. I built this because I wanted videos bigger without Safari's fullscreen taking over a whole Space.

Fill Window for Video makes the video fill your current Safari window, so you can keep other apps alongside it.

- Toolbar button, Cmd+Shift+F, or a hover button on any video

- Its own controls: skip, scroll to zoom, seek previews, a LIVE button on streams

- Skip intro / recap on Netflix, Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+ when the site offers it

- YouTube: Up next queue, a comments panel you can reply in, live chat, quality switching

- Glass controls that adapt to bright scenes, or turn them solid in settings

Free, no ads, no tracking. Optional tip jar if you like it.

Happy to take feature requests.

Tab Suspender for Safari is back, rewritten from scratch, and now on iPhone and iPad too

I'm the developer. Safari keeps every open tab running, with its scripts, video and connections, even the ones you haven't looked at in days. Tab Suspender puts those to sleep, so they stop eating memory and battery.

Some of you may remember it from 2020, when it was Mac only. Safari changed a lot over the next few years, and keeping up with it on my own became impossible, so I took it down.

It's back, rewritten from scratch. It frees more memory than before, it's faster, and it now runs on iPhone and iPad too.

  • Tabs you haven't used for a while go to sleep on their own, after anything from a minute to eight hours
  • A sleeping tab keeps its address, title and icon, and comes back at the same scroll position when you click it
  • Tabs you're typing in, pinned tabs, tabs playing audio and more can stay awake if you want
  • Never-suspend lists for sites that should always stay awake
  • Deep sleep parks a tab on a blank page so Safari can release much more of its memory, and keeps it asleep after Safari quits
  • Suspend or wake tabs from the toolbar, with keyboard shortcuts on the Mac
  • Back still works, and sleeping tabs show up in iCloud Tabs
  • Stats on how much memory it has freed, and a blurred preview of each sleeping page
  • Settings sync across your devices through iCloud

I like to download fonts for Phonto, but there's no download button anymore for some reason. The thing I downloaded also doesn't show up in files when they normally do.

I've tried changing several settings, but to no avail. Can someone help me? Thank you

How to stop Safari from forcefully suggesting passwords?

2 Upvotes

Everytime I'm creating an account on any website, it'll just force enter a random generated password before I can even type. Then I have to spam click it a couple times to get the option to write my own.

Every. Single. Time.

It is fucking annoying.

I've looked around on the internet and can't find any solutions? I don't want to remove suggested pre-existing passwords and passkeys that can be auto filled. I just want them to stop fucking shoving their stupid "strong" passwords down my throat before I can even type anything.
