Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 206 With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser that was first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ to allow users to test features that are planned for future release versions of the Safari browser.

Safari Technology Preview Updated Feature 1
‌Safari Technology Preview‌ 206 includes fixes and updates for CSS, Editing, JavaScript, Media, Rendering, SVG, Web Extensions, WebDriver, and WebRTC.

The current ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release is compatible with machines running macOS Sonoma and macOS Sequoia, the newest version of macOS.

The ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ update is available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences or System Settings to anyone who has downloaded the browser from Apple's website. Complete release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple's aim with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while it is designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download and use.

In my fever dreams, Apple works even 10% as hard on the music app than they do on Safari

I wish Apple would go back to the old behavior of not aggressively autocompleting bookmarks in the URL field.

I have a bookmark to a specific MacRumors article. Now, whenever I start typing 'macrumors' in the URL field, Safari always autocompletes it to that bookmark to the specific post. I have to edit the URL when I want to go the home page.

Safari didn't used to behave this way; it would autocomplete the site name and I could press down-arrow (I think) to go to the bookmark instead.

If your use case is "don't want to see any ads anywhere at any time", the AdGuard free version works as well as uBlock Origin on Firefox. I prefer a combo url/search bar because it takes up less space. I'm all in on Apple so Safari provides smooth integration with all my devices, and apps like Passwords, Mail and just about everything else.

If Safari had a Windows version I would probably use it all the time. I am mostly on Mac's but I do have to use Windows as well.
