    I thought I lost all of my tabs

    I don't know if anyone remembers, but years ago iOS Safari had this really bad bug where it would repeatedly lose all your tabs. The solution was to use tab groups, so I started using them at the time. Today I launched Safari only to see a blank tab. Turns out all the tabs in my tab group...

    Any way to stop Safari taking over the keyboard media buttons?

    So all Apple keyboards have media playback controls on them (Forward/Reverse/Play/Pause), and they are extremely convenient when you use Music or playback video a lot. And I use Music a lot. But Safari is extremely efficient at taking over said controls, and I would really like to know if...

    Safari vs. Helium memory usage

    I've dipped my toe back into the world of Chromium browsers lately and it has led me to being quite unimpressed with Safari's memory management. I did a very simple test with four browsers. Safari and Helium were originally the two I was comparing but I also brought in Orion and Vivaldi for...

    YouTube broken on Safari

    For a few weeks now almost every video I start on YouTube plays for a few seconds, then stops and restarts from the beginning. It seems that the videos start playing with the VP09 codec, then switch to AV01, then restart and switch back to VP09. I have a M3 Pro, so AV01 decoding should be the...

    Reverse-engineering the M4 Air HDR issue: Why I have to UNPLUG my Mac to get good colors

    TL;DR:The M4 MacBook Air forces dark/bad HDR on Netflix. After digging into system plists, EDID overrides, and terminal commands, I found that Apple hard-coded the only fix (HDR-to-SDR conversion) to the physical battery state. There is no software workaround. --- Hi everyone, I wanted to...

    Safari keeps asking password it knows

    Hi, I’m having an issue with Safari and iCloud Keychain. I already have my password saved in Keychain, and Safari autofills it correctly when I log in. But after I sign in, Safari still prompts me asking if I want to save the password again. Any clue ?

    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.
