Underline is a quick way to see where I am.

DOES NOT WORK SAFARI VERSIONS 16 and beyond

My fault for not reading the description, AND probably costing others money too. Maybe this rating will help you avoid wasting $1.99

disapointed

I bougth this and I do not buy many apps. I wanted to like it. but it puts a bar not under the tab but on top of the actual webpage and vaguely in line with the tab opened..in other words it still takes some guessing, it does not serve its purpose.a bigger probelm for me is privacy , the app description proudly says it does not collect any info, but the extension asks the user to authorize the below:"This extension would be able to read and alter webpages and see your browsing history on these websites. This could include sensitive information, including passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards."You can change this later in Safari Websites preferences.

read this first, first

I bought this after seeing it on MacStories. I did not read the fine print at the top of the description. The last 2 items are important. On the mini, will a few too many tabs, the bar does not line up with the active tab. Will see how well it works on the mac tomorrow.

Quick update!

I complained yesterday that this extension was slowing down Safrai in a aprticular way.Today the developer has released a fix!That's the sort of attention to detail and complaints that we'd like to see in all software :-)Five stars.

Great idea - just needs some more iteration!

Works and very happy to have this as an option, but the alignment seems to be off when used with Safari with Pinned Tabs along with Regular Tabs.Would also be great if it had some ability to switch display color based on the tab color theme. For example, a dark color works well for light colored tabs, but is much harder to see on a dark colored tab.

This extension does not work for me

It does not highlight the active tab when switching between tabs. I would like to request money back due to the fact that this extension does not work. Thank you.

Works great with Safari 15.1

Works as advertised ... another life annoyance solved for only $2. I have all my websites zoomed to 115% and the highlighting still tells me which tab is the active one. I also really like the "Improve visibility" option, so for example I can see the blue line on a site with a black background and the black line on a site with a blue background! Wonderful.

Clever idea; works better without bookmark bar

This is an excellent compromise to address Apple's new tab system. (Please, Apple, there was nothing wrong with the previous tabs!!)If the bookmark bar is active, however, the Active Tab highlight appears below the bookmark bar, rather than the tab bar. Hopefully a simple bug to fix :-)Great idea by the developer and I hope that the minor bookmark bar glitch can be addressed. Thank you so much!

Needs to work with Favorites bar enabled

Nice idea, but I find that the alignment is often off, and it needs to appear below the tab itself when Favorites bar is enabled, not underneath the Favorites bar. It becomes difficult to spot and defeats the purpose.

Description

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ActiveTab makes it easier to spot the active tab in Safari on Mac by drawing a line below it. It works by predicting the position of the active tab based on the size of your browser window and the number of tabs. "The extension [...] undeniably makes it easier to spot the active tab in Safari." - MacStories "It's worth every penny." - iMore "ActiveTab simply makes it easier to spot the active tab in Safari." - MacRumors "It makes the tab instantly recognizable, even when you’re not looking directly at it" - Cult of Mac "It solves the problem of creating enough visual contrast between active and inactive tabs" - iDownloadBlog Caveats: • It only works with “Separate Tab Bar”. • It works best if you hide the Favorites Bar and turn off “Show Color in Tab Bar.” • It will not work reliably if you have so many tabs in a window that the tab bar becomes scrollable. • It also won’t work if you change the zoom level of web pages. The "can read and alter webpages" text in the permission section is just unfortunate wording.

ActiveTab needs access to the web page to draw the line below tabs. It's not doing anything creepy!
