Sadly it's true, HubSpot are hardly responsive to ideas. If they used macs they'd understand the frustration of Chrome. to be honest, I've almost guven up using HubSpot now as I've had to move over to Safari. Such a shame they don't actually listen to there customers.
At this time, HubSpot does not plan to build specifically for Safari because we are not able to bring a comparable experience to Firefox that we have for Gmail and Outlook. As we evaluate other enabling technologies like Google add-ons, we will revisit this idea in the future but for now we are not planning to build a Safari specific solution.
This is very upsetting. And the response clearly was copy pasted from a response to Firefox. As you can see:

+1 and this is coming from a diehard Chrome fan who recently switched to Safari due to privacy and battery concerns. The reply above that mentions Firefox is also disappointing. Can we at least get a gmail add-on instead of an entire browser extension?
Please add Safari support. Chrome is a drain on laptop batteries, plus if you are in the Mac ecosystem using safari is just a better experience. Hoping with the announcement of better extension support in OS 11 this will be a possibility
I need this, too. I downloaded Chrome specifically to use with HubSpot, but Chrome is as slow as molasses in January at the North Pole. It's useless to me; therefore, the wonderful HubSpot extension is useless to me.
Yes I agree with @taropaa the new safari 14 web extensions makes it easy to add the extension. Or a google/g-suite add-on to make gmail tracking browser indepdendent @Flora ?
@Flora Apple put out a note today reminding developers they CAN have the same experience as Chrome extensions on Safari with very little work. I encourage you guys to reconsider making this happen soon.
We urgently need an extension enabled in Safari. I've used Chrome for many years and love it. However, over the last 6 months or so, Chrome has become a massive drain on both my laptop battery, and even more critically on my CPU. The MacBook fan is nearly constantly running when Chrome is in use and the laptop is slow. I've therefore reluctantly been forced to switch to Safari as my main browser. For Hubspot, as a marketing automation software which purpose is to make you more efficient, it is a painpoint that you only get the full user experience when using a browser that slows you and your laptop down.
