Running the beta on my Air M3, Is it Just me, or is Safari MUCH improved. It actually feels like a desktop browser now. The google apps suite and gmail run perfectly.
Got a tip for us?

Safari is trying to act more like a desktop browser. The bones are there but it has a long way to go.
Running on Pro 11 M4.
I do not run Google apps or Gmail on it.

One annoyance gone: The tabs do not automatically disappear when scrolling down.
Two crazy issues atm …
1. It won’t let me turn off Glass on the lockscreen. I can customize it and next time it’s back.
2. Apps are forgetting the last size and open up anywhere from full screen to something smaller.

I've noticed this on a few webpages that are normally finicky with hovering and clicking on links/buttons. Hard to describe but feels quite a bit better. Get the feeling actually that its related more to cursor control (no clue though).
Wait! Just to be absolutely certain: Do you mean the tabs and toolbar, etc. stay visible while scrolling a web page? ‘Cause I’ve been wanting this for years (it made no sense to collapse these on a 12.9” iPad or external monitor).
If you have a 13-inch and use desktop mode in Safari the majority of the time it won’t do that. With anything other than the 13-inch I think websites get confused because of the resolution it sees when it fingerprints your device…Mini is especially prone to it regardless of mobile or desktop version.
Yes, and I saw there is a setting to turn this on or off as well.
My one gripe thus far is it now takes 2 taps to close a tab. Whereas before you could just tap X and close with one tap.
No X appears when you have a single tab open. You have to tap the button to see all tabs and press the X in that view.
It’s probably a bug.
Running into issues where a link will open the app (ex: Maps) but will not execute.
Was looking for nearest location of a restaurant and all it would open is the NA Map. I could manually go into Maps and lookup - worked well.

Is there any way to turn this off btw, a favour webpage setting? It is annoying clicking a link and then getting thrown into a different app
Thanks. Yeah, maybe I’m just weird but I always close out of tabs when I’m done so I only ever have one tab open at a time. So us “1-tabbers” can no longer close down that tab as quickly as before.
