Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 219 With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

[MacRumors]

Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser that was first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed Safari Technology Preview to allow users to test features that are planned for future release versions of the Safari browser.

Safari Technology Preview 219 includes fixes and updates for Canvas, CSS, JavaScript, Media, Rendering, Web API, Web Extensions, and WebRTC.

The current Safari Technology Preview release is compatible with machines running macOS Sonoma and macOS Sequoia, the newest version of macOS.

The Safari Technology Preview update is available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences or System Settings to anyone who has downloaded the browser from Apple’s website. Complete release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple’s aim with Safari Technology Preview is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. Safari Technology Preview can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while it is designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download and use.

I wonder how many people actually try this. I've never tried it. But I tend to not live on cutting edge anymore.

As the article states, you can run it side by side with regular Safari so no real issues. However, it’s not like an OS beta so it doesn’t add much usefulness for basic users.

I used to use it until it became a silicon only app and now that I have Apple silicon I havent bothered to download it.

I used to run Firefox, Safari and the Technology version of Safari side by side without problems.

I hope they optimize Safari I have a M4 pro Mac mini with 24gb of ram and it's bit laggy from time to time. I doubt these things will fix that. Certain elements just don't work like clicking the like button on YouTube but pausing the video or any other element works just fine so I have to refresh the page. It gets annoying after awhile. I just hope apple makes Safari better.
