  • Hacker News
  • Wonder if they will ever fix upload progress using XHR, pretty annoying to not be able show accurate progress to the user when using larger chunk sizes:

  • Please, can we put the "Disable Javascript" menu back in the Developer menu
  • It’s impressive that pinch-zooming reddit.com in-out-in-out has reliably crashed ios safari for at least a few years already. One would assume Apple gets telemetry from iphone default browser crashes, and reddit seems important enough to warrant a fix
  • Does this help stable Safari in any way? I have a WebKit bug I’m tracking that’s fixed in STP but not in stable and it seems like there’s no telling whether it’ll ever land.
  • Since they nixed uBlock Origin Safari has not been a serious web browser to me. No amount of technology can make up for it.
  • Safari is the only real opposition to Google based browsers at the moment. Yes Firefox is a contender, but it has no brand traction among non-power users. Google has the brand, Safari has the defaults and energy efficiencies of the growing Apple laptop/desktop market. Although not open source, I trust it far more that a Google based browser as Apple - aside from PWAs competing with their App Store - has no real incentive to commodify, restrict or surveil the web like Google does.
  • The team has been on a roll lately with massive fixes & improvements.

    Like last months announcement of over 500 fixes.

  • And they recently released the Safari MCP in STP as well.

    Looks like the Safari MCP is also now available in the most recent Golden Gate beta part of system Safari:
