    Safari - compact tabs - gone?

    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...

    Safari's Prevent cross-site tracking feature upgrade

    Initially I loved this feature. Then I noticed that some websites that I use, I am thinking of my banking website, need to have this on so that I can use payment tools like Zelle, etc. There are others but I have forgotten which ones.

    Safari tab images/titles going blank, first time seeing this bug

    It looks like this was an issue in Safafi 18.4 (LINK), but this is the first time I've ever seen this, after upgrading from macOS 13.7 --> 15.3.2 --> 15.4. It's always the 1 or 2 tabs next to the pinned tabs that do this. I do have a LOT of tabs open, but that's not unusual for me. Oh, it...
