Nice now nothing exciting about macos 12, safari was the only real change and now big sur has it

adaptive sync excites me

universal control or whatever it’s called is probably pretty cool for people that would use it
 
Hard to understand all the great experimental work in Safari, when Safari is consistently the most incompatible of the major web browsers. I like Safari, but I’m always switching to FireFox or Chrome because some website I using won’t work properly on Safari. Why is that?
 
For those having crash on launch issues, go into username/Library and find the SafariTechnologyPreview folder and delete it, empty trash, and then restart the Mac and reopen STP. If you had the prior version of STP, it will crash on launch if you didn't restart your Mac before opening STP 126 for the first time and will continue to do so until you delete the folder mentioned because it crashed before and it will loop. It will repopulate the STP folder upon next launch.

ETA: Actually, this is probably a good idea regardless if you are having crash on launch issues. This is a complete rework of Safari and there are so many changes that cleaning out that folder which contains preferences and such will ensure a smoother experience on the new STP builds going forward with less bugs or random hangs/crashes.

i’ve legit never encountered a website that doesn’t work in safari in at least ten years i want to say?

i guess we do different things on the internet
 
I am on Monterey now since beginning and both updates. And.... Hate the tabs, can't easily drag the tabs, tabs not easy to see, can't get used to them, colours come and go are distracting, can't hit to close, clunky interface, hidden addresses, just can't get them to work as quick as before.... hate the tabs, hate the tabs, hate the tabs. (Love the Habs though. Go Habs go!)

I agree. If anything I find that FireFox is the most buggy. Stuff just stops or pages just do not render correctly.

Don't get me wrong Safari has issues for me. Not being able to delete a bookmark from a drop down menu, or right click that book mark in a drop down menu and choose open in a new tab. Bookmark management is weak in general. Favicons constantly disappear as well. Safari in general is flat and ugly. Example in Edge or Chrome book mark folders are yellow and stand out a lot better.

I want so badly to use Safari as my default browser but just seems to lag behind in features all the time compared to other browsers.
 
is there a way to fix the address box to left or right? it's keep moving and i lost track of the tab i am looking for.
 
is there a way to migrate my 100+ open tabs from safari to the tech.preview?
 
Doesn't work for me. The Big Sur download is just a 243 byte .dmg file that obviously fails to mount
Saaaame. Either they didn't intend to release this for Big Sur, or they've temporarily pulled it because of the crash a few people have mentioned.

Opening them one by one again ?
well, some years ago one could just simply copy over the contents of Library/Safari - but that's not working anymore. doing it by hand - sounds exhausting.
