+## TabFS for Safari
+
+This support is a work in progress (as are these instructions).
+
+Safari's extension support is pretty messy. You will need:
+
+- Xcode installed
+- Safari 14 or newer
+- macOS 10.15 Catalina or newer
+
+Enable the Develop menu in Safari, then Develop -> Allow Unsigned
+Extensions.
+
+Open the Xcode project `TabFS/TabFS.xcodeproj` in this directory. Run
+the project. It should open a TabFS app and install the extension in
+Safari.
+
+Enable the extension in Safari Preferences, grant it access to all
+sites. It should be running now! (?)
+
+Check the `fs/mnt` folder of the TabFS repo on your computer to see if
+it's mounted.
+
+### tips
+
+- To open Web inspector: Safari -> Develop menu -> Web Extension
+ Background Pages -> TabFS.
+
+ Refreshing this inspector should reload the tabfs filesystem, also.
+
+- You need to rebuild in Xcode any time you change background.js
+ (because the extension files are copied into the extension, rather
+ than running directly from folder as in Firefox and Chrome). This is
+ pretty annoying.
