Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 226 With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

by

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 226 includes fixes and updates for CSS, Canvas, JavaScript, Media, Rendering, Deprecations, SVG, Storage, Web API, Web Extensions, and Web Inspector.

The current ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release is compatible with machines running macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe, the newest version of macOS that's set to launch this later this year.

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 truly wish they would stop bundling Safari with OS updates. Didn’t Microsoft get sued for this back in the day?

Having the app be separate would allow updates as necessary and would also allow older devices to continue to browse the web safely since right now, even if the device is still reasonably powerful if it doesn’t receive an OS update, it means that increasingly websites will not work or it is simply insecure.

This is truly unacceptable environmentally and means you cannot even pass on a perfectly usable device for simple browsing to a child or grandparent.

Every Safari Technology Preview has performace improvements... Now it must fly at the speed of light.
Do not worry, each years websites become slower, so in the end it will still be as fast as before.

It feels snappier for sure.

Should we update now because it fixes an actively exploited vulnerability? Inquiring minds want to know.

The only issue I have ever had with Safari is quickly identifying and closing the tab I am on, or the one with the mic with sound playing. Now, I know that Apple wants a super clean UI, but would it hurt to add color or somehow add more contrast to the currently open tabs? Never an Issue on any other browser I have ever used when it comes to UI element readability. Or is there a customization feature that I have somehow missed? Have closed so many mistaken tabs over this issue.
