    Closing tabs in Safari

    It appears that closing tabs in Safari is one step further removed. I hit the three dots to the right of the address bar, then "tabs", and then I can start closing tabs. Is that the simplest approach or am I missing something? I tend to close tabs rather frequently.

    No recent similar reports - Safari micro stutters

    I don’t know what’s frustrating me more, the state of Apple software or the state of feedback. Theoretically, there should be more people filling feedback than ever, but for what? What are we actually taking the time out of our days for? What are we doing unpaid work for? Why have a public...

    Does Safari feel more... "fragile," for lack of a better word, to anyone else?

    I'm trying to think of the best way to put it, but Safari (Version 26.0 (21622.1.22.11.14)) just seems more jittery, like it is constantly on the precipice of crashing. I've always used a lot of tabs, so even in the previous version, I would run into issues with Safari freezing (or crashing)...

    Safari: Virus scan pop-up malware – how to block?

    I keep getting these pop-ups, even though I have completely cleared and erased all of my Safari settings and data through the Settings app. It doesn't seem to be with any particular website, either. I'm not sure what the sources. What's the best way to purge this and prevent it?

    Safari - compact tabs - gone?

    I was a fan of Safari's previous "compact" tabs mode in which there was only ONE bar on the top of Safari windows, the search box was literally inside the selected tab. has this disappeared?

    Beta 2 - Safari and other apps stop loading, requiring a restart.

    I am running Tahoe b2 as an alternate boot. After being up for about 6 hours, Safari and other apps like Parallels Desktop stop loading, requiring a restart. This is on a 48GB/2TB mini Pro. I have not yet seen it on my Studio. Quitting the app or logging out is not enough. Has anybody else...

    iPhone Does Safari on iOS automatically access to all bookmarked websites secretly?

    Does Safari on iOS/iPadOS automatically (secretly) access to bookmarked websites when I open Safari in background? If so, for what purposes? Having checked the macOS' Safari activities with a third-party app, it seems that when I open Safari on macOS, Safari automatically connects (sending...

    Safari Web App Uninstaller

    I recently created some web apps using Safari on macOS Sequoia and I was surprised that there isn’t an easy way to delete all the files and folders one such app creates. Apple’s documentation simply says “drag the web app to the Trash”. Apple Support - Use Safari web apps on Mac...

    Unfortunately after some really stable betas of iOS 18.4 the final release introduced some kind of bug in Safari. Safari drains my battery really quick. I’ve never seen Safari top the list in battery settings before but after 18.4 (Final release) and now 18.4.1 it’s on top every day. Is this...

    Website best viewed in…not Safari

    I often see this on websites: “This website is best viewed in the following browsers: Chrome Firefox Edge”. Chrome is always listed first, Firefox second. Once in a while Edge. But NEVER Safari. Why? And why does every website cream their pants over Chrome? I don’t trust Chrome. It’s Google...
