Do I dare jump from Mojave to this? Haven't had one issue since I got this iMac.

I'd like to know when Safari ever included Flash. As far as I can remember, it had to be downloaded separately (or just use Chrome which had it baked in).

Does this include the faster web browsing or is that big sur how comes 4k doesn’t work
Does it look aesthetically the same as on Big Sur or does the design of the UI still match the style of the interface on Catalina?
I'm not mad at you! I'm mad WITH you
Then I’m getting too old to understand these emojis.
After installing this update, Microsoft Edge would not load. A reboot of my MacBook solved the problem - In case any of you run into problems with Edge, Chrome or Firefox, this may solve your issue after the update.
Broke down and decided to install Safari from System Preferences→Software Update instead of seeing if it gets incorporated in the Catalina full installer. Loving the tracking protection feature.
It used to ship in the OS back through Snow Leopard, I believe, or maybe even later than that.
Me too. That's why I'm not updating.
I am not understanding something here. When I click on the protection shield next to the address bar it states that 3 trackers were prevented from tracking me. If I go look at the privacy report it says that there were 5 trackers that were prevented from tracking me. This is in relation to the macrumors website.

Which websites?

Which websites?
Looks like the icon by the bar is for the current page, the report is for the sites overall.
Humbug. Safari 14 still locks up tight when viewing Fox News.
Wait, what? I thought they removed Flash years ago.

If you're using Safari as part of any workflow, but especially a Google suite based one, you might want to turn this back off. It's under Preferences > Tabs > "Show website icons in tabs".
When on, the tabs bar looks like this and won't change regardless of the width of the Safari window
The OS needs to support VP9, which Big Sur does. Odd they can't implement it like Firefox for example.
I’m not sure why they didn’t link it (while clarifying that it’s still technically an experimental product), but the replacement site is publicly available at https://preview-radar.weather.gov/. As for when they switch over completely, as far as I know no date has been given, but they were accepting public comments through early August on the switch, so there should be some news soon.
Maybe because this is for Catalina and Mojave, where a lot of folks, by choice or otherwise, will be staying
Usual Apple marketing hoopla. Performance for who specifically? What facets of user experienced does Apple consider "improved" to include the mentioning of it in the changelog?
They've caught up with Firefox on this one. Finally, better late than never.
Update: turns out I should've written "Opera 12".
Their default new page is like that of Firefox, though. Firefox lovers there.
...not used by the sites generating 99% of all the Internet traffic.
I'm impressed.

I agree, I see 6 trackers so far. It is such a nice feature, blocking trackers.
I miss Top Sites already, and hate the fact that I can't rearrange or add frequently visited sites to the list (I can drag them out, but can't put them in order I want)
I was coming by to mention this. Seems like an odd bug but I'm glad for the easy fix (assuming it sticks).
