Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 230 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 230 includes fixes and updates for CSS, HTML, MathML, Media, Rendering, SVG, Security, Web API, Web Extension, and Web Inspector.

The current Safari Technology Preview release is compatible with machines running macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe, 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.

Technology preview is just a fancy word for beta software. Apple came up with their own marketing slang!

Thank god it wasn't just me. Here's hoping.

Edit: It's even worse than before!

I hope it fixes the extreme UI locks I have been seeing.

I hope it fixes the retarded pip freezes every 30 seconds.

Open youtube.com / play video

Right click for 'picture in picture'

Set timer for 30 seconds

Observe freeze

edit: on Sequoia 15.7 with beta browser. 30 second freeze still in tact. Running on m4 mac mini btw.

Sort of, but it’s distributed differently, as a separate, differently named app that can exist side by side with the regular one.

Will memory management improve?

I find it surprising that there were 230 bugs to fix in the first instance!!!

Safari on Tahoe is such a design mess it’s amazing. One font size for URL bar, another one for bookmark bar, huge icons, different font size in pages. It’s just a mess and hard to look at.

I had to uninstall STP completely on two machines. I'll try it again next release, but it was way too disruptive.

Nice work! Only about 75,000 more bug fixes to go!!
