Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start with Safari's Web Extensions API documentation and the linked WWDC 2020 session, then compare the existing JavaScript extension structure with Safari's supported APIs. Done is not fully specified: it would require an agreed Safari-on-macOS Big Sur scope and demonstrable feature parity with Vimium.
