To be clear, I agree, I just didn't think GP was fairly stating the alternate case.

As an aside, no one is stopping you from binary patching Safari on macOS, provided you don't mind turning off SIP. The nice API just isn't there anymore.

Injecting code into Safari is works just as well and is much less brittle. You'll have to disable Library Validation for the bundle, though.

...excuse me, that’s what I was actually thinking of. Actually patching the binary would be stupid, I meant to say code injection. Thank you.
