    Hello StaceyH​! 👋

    Thanks for the question! Apple requires that Safari extensions are distributed through the Mac App Store. I recommend speaking to your employer's IT department to ask for assistance with installing the extension through the Mac App Store if you need it for work. If you are the IT department then reaching out to Mosyle for guidance would be best if their product is blocking the Mac App Store on your organization's devices.

    The other option, as you mentioned, is to use a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox which allow the installation of browser extensions from their own web stores.

    Since web browser extensions are just files, you can download them on another system and make this file available to your compuyers[sic] via the (sneaker) network.

    I don't use or manage Apply devices, but it appears that you are trying to circumvent a "security" product, which is rarely a good choice. I strongly suggest learning how to enable the desired operations, e.g. whitelisting approved sadari[sic] extension, so that you can insta;[sic] it normally.
