Manage macOS Catalina extensions

Mac extensions

This new version of the operating system of our Macs adds changes regarding the extensions that we can use especially in those referring to Safari. After many years in which we could install any extension from any website, this year the company of the bitten apple with the arrival of macOS Catalina eliminated the option and now it requires a download from the Mac App Store.

On the other hand, the management of macOS extensions is simple when we find the one that suits us for the job, but then to access and edit them we have to do it from System Preferences. In this sense, we will not have too many complications for it and from there we will control its functions easily and quickly.

From this section that we find in the System Preferences we can control many options of our Mac and the extensions add several options to edit. We can control the actions, the extensions of the Finder or the sharing or quick view menus. It's simple and it's just about check or uncheck actions In most cases.

The extensions that you install from the Mac App Store will be reflected in this section of the System Preferences and then it is up to everyone to edit the functions they allow to perform on the computers at will. The good thing about having the extensions in the Mac App Store is that they pass all Apple filters and offer a plus of "security" against possible attacks from third parties, on the other hand it must also be said that becomes a slightly more closed system and some users complain about it.
