Safari extensions - install updates automatically - what's the point really?

[jon08]

I'm asking myself what's the point of having this option ticked anyway? It seems like I always have to untick it and tick it again, and only then any possible updates for my extensions will show up.

In other words, I always have to do it manually, it's not like the extensions get updated by themselves, unless I unticked and ticked that "install updates automatically" option.

I have noticed the same thing. I can get them to update just by clicking on the "Updates" thing at the bottom then going back to the prefs for the extension. I don't find I need to unclick/click the updates checkmark.

I see. Well the main issue here is - you have to take care of these "automatic updates" yourself because seemingly if you neglect it, they won't update by themselves either. Pointless.

Agreed.

It all depends on what the meaning of "automatically" is.
