Porting to Safari 14

[shaananc]

Safari 14 implements Web Extensions, though requires bundling through the app store.

The would enable Tab Session Manager to be ported, depending on if the right APIs are implemented.

It might be worth at least considering.

Running the Safari conversion tool yields the following warnings about incompatibilities:

Warning: The following keys in your manifest.json are not supported by your current version of Safari. If these are critical to your extension, you should review your code to see if you need to make changes to support Safari:
	description
	identity
	version
	default_locale
	downloads
	commands
	options_ui
	tabs
	incognito
	scripts
	storage
	browser_action
	manifest_version
	name
	icons

Thanks for the validation.
There are too many missing APIs, so it is difficult to port it to Safari.

Tab Session Manager is a really great extension, Sienori. Great work, thank you!

It took me a while but I have successfully ported Tab Session Manager to Safari. I've actually had TSM code version 6.12.2 working for quite a while but Safari v18 update broke it. I've just fixed it (now using Manifest V3 and TSM code version 7.0.1). So far, all functionality seems to work, including exports (via native messaging).

I'm still testing but If you're interested, I can share the code with you (I'm still learning how Github works so wanted to get my ducks in a row before I 'put it out there').

Sounds great! Do you have a repo for this port?
