Bitwarden's Safari Web Extension is a port of the prior App Extension designed for use with Safari 14{:target="_blank"}. The Safari Web Extension is packaged with the Bitwarden Desktop App available on the App Store.
{% callout info %}
Due to changes by Apple, Safari limits Web Extension use to only those obtained through Mac App Store downloads. As of the [2021-03-11 Release]({% link _articles/getting-started/releasenotes.md %}), users will not be able to use a Bitwarden Safari Extension obtained through a .dmg installation from bitwarden.com/download{:target="_blank"} or any other non-App Store source.
If you're using a Safari version prior to 14, you can continue using a .dmg installation, which can be downloaded from bitwarden.com/download{:target="_blank"}. Keeping the .dmg outside of the Applications folder should allow you to simultaneously use both an older Safari Extension and the latest Desktop App.

The Safari Web Extension has full feature parity to the prior App Extension. For developer detail on the difference between Safari Web Extensions and App Extensions, click here.
