    iPhone Does Safari on iOS automatically access to all bookmarked websites secretly?

    Does Safari on iOS/iPadOS automatically (secretly) access to bookmarked websites when I open Safari in background? If so, for what purposes? Having checked the macOS' Safari activities with a third-party app, it seems that when I open Safari on macOS, Safari automatically connects (sending...

    Safari Web App Uninstaller

    I recently created some web apps using Safari on macOS Sequoia and I was surprised that there isn’t an easy way to delete all the files and folders one such app creates. Apple’s documentation simply says “drag the web app to the Trash”. Apple Support - Use Safari web apps on Mac...

    Safari using excessive amount of battery on 18.4 and 18.4.1.

    Unfortunately after some really stable betas of iOS 18.4 the final release introduced some kind of bug in Safari. Safari drains my battery really quick. I’ve never seen Safari top the list in battery settings before but after 18.4 (Final release) and now 18.4.1 it’s on top every day. Is this...

    Website best viewed in…not Safari

    I often see this on websites: “This website is best viewed in the following browsers: Chrome Firefox Edge”. Chrome is always listed first, Firefox second. Once in a while Edge. But NEVER Safari. Why? And why does every website cream their pants over Chrome? I don’t trust Chrome. It’s Google...

    Safari 18.4 can't open links in new private window

    With ⌥ + right click on the link you get the option to "open link in new private window", but after 18.4 update it opens just a blank private window. Any ideas?

    Safari's Prevent cross-site tracking feature upgrade

    Initially I loved this feature. Then I noticed that some websites that I use, I am thinking of my banking website, need to have this on so that I can use payment tools like Zelle, etc. There are others but I have forgotten which ones. It would really be great if Apple could add this feature to...

    Safari tab images/titles going blank, first time seeing this bug

    It looks like this was an issue in Safafi 18.4 (LINK), but this is the first time I've ever seen this, after upgrading from macOS 13.7 --> 15.3.2 --> 15.4. It's always the 1 or 2 tabs next to the pinned tabs that do this. I do have a LOT of tabs open, but that's not unusual for me. Oh, it...

    Global setting to open in Safari?

    Is there a global setting to open in-app web links in Safari? Everything from instagram to my news app to Maps will open a url within the app itself. I just want to view web pages in the “web pages” app (Safari). I know there’s the Safari button on most apps but this is beside the point. Even...

    Copy "Add to Dock"'d applications to a new machine?

    The "Add to Dock" feature creates a new .app file in the applications folder, but I now realize they don't seem to transfer to a new Mac: When I copy those web applications across, they don't work, giving this error: Does anyone know how to get web apps onto a new machine?

    Any way to set Safari at 90% zoom? instead of either 75/85/100%

    Most sites are fine at either 85% or 100% but some would really benefit from a 90% or 95% zoom so I'm not sure why that's not an option, it's so simple.

    Resolved Pinned tabs in Safari disappear every restart

    Ever since 14.4, my pinned tabs in Safari gets "soft" wiped every time I quit and launch it again. They come back if I open a new window right after launch(in all non-private windows). It's been 9 months and 1 major OS upgrade later(on 15.2 now), and this is seemingly never fixed, I've had to...
