Hey enjayare,

If I understand correctly, you want to remove something from Safari, depending on how it is added there are a few things to check. You can try to remove the extensions from Safari. It could also be a plug-in that needs to be removed. I would recommend you read these articles and use them to help troubleshoot the issue.​


Turn off or uninstall extensions

Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Extensions. For each extension, you can use the checkbox to enable or disable the extension.

If you can't determine what an extension does, or you don't expect to use it again, click the Uninstall button for that extension.

Install and manage Safari extensions on your Mac


Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons

You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to learn whether any are causing the issue. To find them, quit Safari and open these Library folders:

  • The Library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar. Then type
    /Library
    and click Go.
  • The Library folder in your home folder. Open it by holding Option while choosing Go > Library from the menu bar.

The Library folders contain the following folders for add-ons. Move any files within these folders to the Trash.

  • Internet Plug-Ins
    Don't remove Default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Quartz Composer.webplugin, or QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
  • Input Methods
  • InputManagers
  • ScriptingAdditions

If removing the files from these folders resolves the issue, quit Safari again and gradually put back files until you find the one causing the issue:

  1. Open the Trash and select one of the files you removed. Chose File > Put Back. The file returns to its folder.
  2. Open Safari and see if the issue returns.
    • If the issue returns, you've identified the add-on causing the issue. Avoid using it or contact its maker for an updated version.
    • If the issue doesn't return, quit Safari and put back another file.

If Safari is slow, stops responding, quits unexpectedly, or has other issues
