    Safari annoyingly seems to save website URL

    iPad iOS 15 user here. After deleting history and website data, Safari still seems to retain website URLs, even though they aren’t bookmarked or saved as favourites. Furthermore, there isn’t anything automatically stored there either. is there anyway to completely clear website addresses and...

    Control + Tab on Safari

    For some reason, when I use the keyboard shortcut "control + tab" instead of cycling through tabs, it opens the search bar at the top. If I press "control + tab" again it will cycle through, but each time I land on a tap it opens the search bar. Please advise how I can stop this. I'd much...

    Safari Compact Mode: Weird Address Bar Behaviour

    I've sent this to Apple several times for many versions of Safari since Monterey came out. Did the usual troubleshooting steps (turning off ALL extensions, safe mode, clear history/cache, restore macOS, etc.). This also happens on Safari Technology Preview. The address bar, when compact mode is...

    why are non-Safari web browsers so huge (hundreds of MB)?

    I just noticed (running macOS 12.1) that not only are several independent web browsers larger (in terms of consumed storage space) than Safari, the difference is very substantial. - Apple Safari (version 15.2) is 14.5 MB meanwhile: - Mozilla Firefox (version 96.x) is 360 MB - Microsoft Edge...

    Apple Pay Payment not Completed (macOS)

    TL;DR: I can't get Apple Pay to work on macOS Catalina with Safari 15.2. All payments fail with "Payment not completed" on the Mac and Apple Pay works fine on my other devices with the same CCs. Looking for help trying to determine what's up here. Longer story: On macOS I have two CC's set...

    BBC Sport in UK

    The BBC says I cannot view live sports because Safari's last update with OS 12 and later does not apply internet rules in the same way as the browsers. Apple says that BT is working on it. I cannot get any definitive answers as to the reason or to when this problem will be fixed. My default...

    Apple's own Search Engine?

    Hello, I am wondering what does everyone think about Apple having its own Search Engine later on. And is this something they would actually do? Why I think it might happen: Step closer to their own "closed" ecosystem They have full control over the search engine If it turns out to be a really...

    Safari Accessing Contacts/ App Privacy Report

    Since the release of the App Privacy Report, several forum users have noted that Safari is attempting to access Contacts. There is no explanation of why Safari would need this information, or what it is doing with the information accessed….. Creating a separate thread to focus on this issue...

    Safari VP9 hardware decoding possible on "unsupported hardware"?

    I do have the hardware to decode VP9 on my GPU; however my Mac is from 2013, and I am using an eGPU. I would like to play 4K videos from YouTube, but it seems to only be possible via software decoding (at least on Safari). Does anyone know if it's possible to force hardware accelerated video...

    MBA M1 Spatial Audio Issues

    Just purchased a M1 Macbook Air to hopefully replace my aging iPad and Intel Macbook. One of the main reasons I wanted it is so I can get Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos running like on my iPad with my Airpods Max. So far getting limited success (Spatialize Stereo only) on most streaming services and...

    Safari's downloads list can only hold the twenty most-recent downloads, even when set to only remove items from the list manually. That's absurd.

    This appears to be a Safari thing, not a Safari 15 thing. It's also a bit ridiculous. I just downloaded ~50 files. Some of the downloads did not complete; some didn't even start... but there is no way to know that in Safari, since the failed downloads were all toward the beginning. Meaning they...

    Safari Private Window

    Usually if I'm doing something in Safari for which I have entered a password or credit card number, etc. I will do Safari/Clear History. Of course, this affects access to other websites where I might want to remain logged in. I've never used a Private Window before but think this would be more...

    Safari skipping search results page.

    Hello, Safari skips over the search results page when using the previous page button. For example: I search "bananas" and click on a result which brings me to a webpage. I decide I want to choose a different website and use the back button. Rather than returning to the search results page, I...

    Safari new tab eating the first character

    Hi everyone, TL;DR: If I do "command+T insta" quick in safari 15, only "nsta" is written. Same for any other words of course. I just got a brand new 14 inch M1 MacBook Pro on Monterey, and I noticed that on Safari 15.0 if I create a new tab (command + T) the focus goes to the address bar (I...

    No Space Left on Device?

    I am having this strange error pop up a lot of times and it's only in safari. I reset all the cookies and history; re-installed Monterey twice so far and a third time this morning. I have a 13' M1 (with Touch Bar <3) and safari has just been awful since Monterey and the updates. I keep getting...

    "rebuild" Safari history without actually losing history?

    I'm having a lot of problems with Safari 15.1...they all seem to be related to History. Part of the problem started with the Monterey upgrade. Problem 1: more often than not, if I hit cmd-shift-T to reopen the last closed tab, Safari crashes. I've tried selecting Reopen Last Closed Tab from the...
