+A [[https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/80255/available-for-beta-testing-zotero-connector-for-safari-13/p1|beta version of the Zotero Connector for Safari 13]] is available. It is distributed as part of the beta version of the Zotero app rather than as a standalone extension.
 There's currently an issue where the Zotero beta may need to be redownloaded and reinstalled into Applications after an app update to restore the Zotero Connector functionality in Safari.

 Note that Zotero is, to our knowledge, the only tool of its kind that has offered a dedicated extension for Safari instead of a much more limited bookmarklet. While Zotero offers a [[/download/bookmarklet|bookmarklet]] as well, the "Intelligent Tracking Prevention" in the latest versions of Safari can prevent the bookmarklet from working properly as it does in other browsers, so the bookmarklet may not serve as a suitable alternative at this time.
-Safari 14, coming in fall 2020, finally adds support for the WebExtensions framework used by Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers, and we expect to be able to offer a version of the standard Zotero Connector for Safari at that time.
+Safari 14, released in September 2020, finally adds support for the WebExtensions framework used by Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers, and we hope to be able to offer a version of the standard Zotero Connector for Safari soon. Unfortunately, WebExtensions support in Safari 14 is still [[https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/364706/#Comment_364706|buggy and incomplete]], and we're waiting for fixes from Apple before we're able to offer a version of the Zotero Connector for Safari 14.
