What Safari extensions are available from Cizzuk?

Updated

Cizzuk offers two Safari extensions: CSE and WebA11Y. CSE changes Safari's default search engine and lets you switch engines instantly with keywords or automatically through Focus and Shortcuts. WebA11Y applies accessibility-oriented styling to web pages, such as bolding text, underlining buttons, and changing fonts. Both are listed on cizzuk.net alongside the developer's iOS apps.

CSE: Customize Safari's search engine

CSE is a Safari extension for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS that customizes Safari's default search engine.

According to the site, it does three things:

  • Changes the default engine — you are not limited to the engine Safari ships with.
  • Switches engines instantly with keywords — for example, a typed keyword can route a search to a different engine without changing settings first.
  • Updates settings flexibly via Focus or Shortcuts — search engine settings can follow your Focus mode or be changed by a Shortcut.

This suits people who use more than one search engine and want the active one to depend on context (work vs. personal Focus, or a specific Shortcut) rather than a manual trip into Settings.

WebA11Y: Accessibility styling for web pages

WebA11Y is a Safari extension that applies additional styles for accessibility. The site names three examples:

Style What it does
Bold text Makes body text heavier and easier to track
Underlined buttons Makes interactive elements easier to identify
Changed fonts Substitutes fonts for ones that are easier to read

It is aimed at readers who find default page styling hard to read or navigate and want a consistent adjustment applied across sites rather than per-site tweaks.

How to choose

  • Pick CSE if your problem is where searches go — you want a non-default engine, quick keyword switching, or settings that follow Focus/Shortcuts.
  • Pick WebA11Y if your problem is how pages look — you want bolder text, clearer buttons, or different fonts.
  • They are independent — one changes search behavior, the other changes page presentation, so there is no conflict in using both.

Where to get them

Both extensions are described on cizzuk.net under the Safari Extensions heading, each with a "Learn more" link. The site also notes that the developer's apps are distributed through AltStore PAL as an alternative to the App Store, with a "Cizzuk Source" that can be added to AltStore PAL. The page does not state pricing for the extensions, so check the individual product pages before assuming they are free.
