URL Detector for Safari
Utilities
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Safari only detects URLs that start with “http://” or “https://”. Because of this limitation, Safari does not show any context menu options for plain text such as “apple.com”. This behavior becomes even more noticeable when URLs deviate from the specification. Examples include URLs that contain whitespace, typos, or an incorrect scheme. In all of these cases, Safari fails to detect the URL correctly and therefore shows no context menu options. URL Detector addresses this limitation by extending Safari’s URL detection. It identifies hard-to-detect URLs and shows the context menu options that Safari would otherwise miss.
Features:
- Detect URLs without a scheme
- Detect URLs with typos in the scheme
- Detect URLs containing whitespace
- Detect URLs with IPv4 addresses
- Automatically convert insecure HTTP to secure HTTPS
- Show warnings when Safari detects invalid URLs
- Check server availability before opening URLs
- Copy URLs from all open Safari tabs
