  • YouTube Link Marker Safari Extension

    Today, for the first time, I used Apple’s “Describe an Extension” feature in Safari to have Apple Intelligence make a little useful extension for me and I was impressed.

    I hate clicking a link and having my device make noise. 99.9% of the time this happens is with a link to YouTube. I had “Describe an Extension” make every link to YouTube display a little YouTube logo next to it. I love it!

    A screenshot of the browser extension window called YouTube Link Marker that says “adds a small, clearly visible YouTube logo next to every link pointing to YouTube domains without interfering with normal link behavior.”A screenshot of Daring Fireball showing a link to YouTube with the logo applied.

  • I really enjoy a Saturday morning breakfast on my patio.

    A breakfast spread featuring halves of a toasted English muffin, a boiled egg, a bowl of yogurt on a blue plate, a black mug of tea, and Matt Dinniman’s Parade of Horribles sits on top of an issue of The Atlantic and an iPad. A metal outdoor table with chairs and greenery in the background.
