I am disappointed to see that a complete rework of Safari extensions hasn't been highlighted. There is a reason why Chrome and Chromium Edge are so popular - their extensive extension library.
That is one main reason why I continue to resist using Safari. It is a great browser, but because Apple is so focused on privacy and how different the development process is to create extensions, many popular extensions are not in the Safari library.

I'm not planning to share my device with anyone else, just needs separate login for multiple username for app stores/music. You always assumed people view pron on the phone huh? so now we know what YOU do on your phone.

Multiple users on iPad would still be nice. You’re already allowed to use different login for App Store or iTunes.
I’m aware of it but it’s not convenient to log out and login. I wish I can just have multiple accounts in App Store and switch on the fly, kind of like how Instagram supports multiple accounts.
Why does Apple insist on keeping their own browser and web enginge? Their Safari browser has nothing going for it, in fact it usually always less capable than the others. The only thing its going for it is that its dead silent using it on my MBP and other browsers will startup the fans.
The thing you just mentioned is a very big thing. Safari is plenty fast enough, secure, and it is much less resource-intensive than, for example Chrome. It also is typically the first to implement privacy-maintaining features that still are not implemented in Chrome.
Do they, though? I think their message is that it is a computer. They’re encouraging people to ask themselves: what IS a computer? I don’t recall them ever telling anyone to stop buying Macs.
Multiple users would be extremely useful in work/school environments for iPad.
but that is only number two on my Wishlist.
Number one is a proper directory based file management system fully compatible with MS servers.

I think Mac Pro users got the message in 2013 and MBP users in 2016.

I'll add something that I don't think has been mentioned: a MacBook Air is not a direct replacement for an iPad. I don't understand people's resistance to the idea that while both devices have intersecting functionality they are FUNDAMENTALLY different, from the OS to the way you interact with it.
Now, I think that having multiple users is LONG overdue on an iPad. This is useful for the same reason even simple video apps like Hulu and Netflix allow separate accounts. And I believe the functionality is already there, but only for schools if I'm not mistaken.
Some say it's greed, or perhaps it's an OS-level limitation, but I don't really know why Apple has annoyingly dragged their feet on this. It's just one more thing
keeping the iPad from being a real computer replacement.I feel like iOS and Mac OS releases reached their plateau a while ago, and the new features brought by their latest iterations are just gimmicks.
New iOS releases are /yawn. The same goes for Mac OS.
I'd love to see an iOS redesign and maybe new stuff for iPadOS that makes it more like a computer, not just a giant iPhone.

Firefox and Brave has better privacy since they are open source, I also last heard that chrome renders pages faster than Safari. But yes it is much less resource intensive I will give you that 100%.
Being open source has nothing to do with privacy. And many parts of safari, including the rendering engine, are also open source. And a lot of privacy initiatives came to safari first.
And nobody uses Brave. Just stop.
Keep telling yourself that. The iPad has been out for a decade and still does not support multiple users yet people still think they "forgot" to implement that feature.
iPhone and iPad are personal devices. You should have one for each user. There can be a collection of communal devices signed in with a service/bot Apple ID.Still no support for multiple user accounts but stupid pencil on the phone?
I want Apple to give us the right to silence unknown voicemails in iOS 14. they need to add that into iOS 14. what should I do in order for it to happen?
Apple is planning to add a built-in language translation feature and full Apple Pencil support to Safari in iOS and iPadOS 14, according to details found in a leaked version of iOS 14 by 9to5Mac.
Safari's built-in translation feature would allow users to translate web pages without using a third-party app or service. If such a feature comes to iOS 14, we can probably also count on it coming to the next-generation version of macOS as well.
The code suggests the translation option will be available for each website that's visited, but an automatic translation feature will also be able to be turned on, similar to Chrome's automatic translation. Apple also appears to be testing translation options for other apps, such as the App Store, allowing users to do things like read reviews in other languages.
Apple's translations are powered by the Neural Engine and may work with or without an internet connection.
As for the Apple Pencil, Apple may be planning to add full support for Apple Pencil input on websites, which would allow it to be used for drawing and marking up. This feature would be limited to iPadOS 14 as the Apple Pencil does not work on iPhones.
Earlier this year, MacRumors discovered new PencilKit features that will allow users to handwrite text in any text input field using the Apple Pencil, with the handwritten content then converted into standard text.
The code also indicates Apple is working on a kind of "Magic Fill" feature that will let users draw a general shape in an app and have it filled in by the operating system.
The leaked version of iOS 14 that's been floating around the internet is an early version of the software and it's not clear if Apple's development plans have changed or if some features might be delayed due to the global health crisis.
We'll find out what we can expect in iOS 14 on June 22, which is when Apple's virtual WWDC event is set to kick off.
