Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 209 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 209 includes fixes and updates for Browser, CSS, Rendering, Scrolling, SVG, Text, Web API, Web Extensions, and Web Inspector.

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.

I like that Orion Browser is using this. 😁

The past few releases have been quite “slim” when it comes to enhancements.
I noticed that too. I hope it means they're working on big things in the shadows.

When I was young I'd be installing this stuff in a second. Now I'm old and just travel the world. My time for being a geek has ended. 😀

I certainly hope you young people keep providing input. In my day it was telling Firefox folks why their plugin APIs were failing. FF 0.92b2 was still the best (and most innovative) browser in history.

Be able to say the same about the next Safari!

I've been using Orion on iOS for a while now, mostly because it gives me uBlock Origin. Browsing without that is horrific.

I'll keep using Firefox on Mac.

Zero interest from me unless they have partnered with Microsoft to bring back Outlook Express and replace the Apple iMail app with it!
