    I generated a pdf file by accident while browsing Twitter

    Hi everyone, While going through my downloaded files, I found two .pdf files which were essentially screen caps of two complete Twitter threads. But they were not exactly screen caps since they saved not only what was on my screen, but the entire threads. I must've done this by accident...

    Restored Safari windows from last session, but did not get ALL windows back

    Hello, this morning I updated my Mac from 10.13.6 High Sierra ➟ 10.15.7 Catalina. I created a Time Machine backup before doing so. Once updated, I went to reopen my Safari windows using the function in the History menu. I had five windows in total but it was only able to reopen four. How do I...

    Chrome extensions on Mac Safari?

    There was some talk over a year ago about Apple opening up Safari to make it easier for developers to port Chrome extensions to Safari. But since then, it doesn't seem like much is happening. There're still way more Chrome extensions than Safari ones. Does anyone know what's going on? Are...

    Safari won't prompt me to open Zoom.app

    Hi everyone. I'm running Safari 15.4, and in the past week, I can't seem to use Safari with Zoom. When I open Zoom, I click sign in with SSO, which should take me to my work sign in page (we sign into Zoom with a SAML connection), where I enter credentials, and then it should ask me to open Zoom...

    iPad iOS 15 user here. After deleting history and website data, Safari still seems to retain website URLs, even though they aren’t bookmarked or saved as favourites. Furthermore, there isn’t anything automatically stored there either. is there anyway to completely clear website addresses and...

    Control + Tab on Safari

    For some reason, when I use the keyboard shortcut "control + tab" instead of cycling through tabs, it opens the search bar at the top. If I press "control + tab" again it will cycle through, but each time I land on a tap it opens the search bar. Please advise how I can stop this. I'd much...

    Safari Compact Mode: Weird Address Bar Behaviour

    I've sent this to Apple several times for many versions of Safari since Monterey came out. Did the usual troubleshooting steps (turning off ALL extensions, safe mode, clear history/cache, restore macOS, etc.). This also happens on Safari Technology Preview. The address bar, when compact mode is...

    why are non-Safari web browsers so huge (hundreds of MB)?

    I just noticed (running macOS 12.1) that not only are several independent web browsers larger (in terms of consumed storage space) than Safari, the difference is very substantial. - Apple Safari (version 15.2) is 14.5 MB meanwhile: - Mozilla Firefox (version 96.x) is 360 MB - Microsoft Edge...

    Apple Pay Payment not Completed (macOS)

    BBC Sport in UK

    The BBC says I cannot view live sports because Safari's last update with OS 12 and later does not apply internet rules in the same way as the browsers. Apple says that BT is working on it. I cannot get any definitive answers as to the reason or to when this problem will be fixed. My default...

    Apple's own Search Engine?

    Hello, I am wondering what does everyone think about Apple having its own Search Engine later on. And is this something they would actually do? Why I think it might happen: Step closer to their own "closed" ecosystem They have full control over the search engine If it turns out to be a really...

    Safari VP9 hardware decoding possible on "unsupported hardware"?

    I do have the hardware to decode VP9 on my GPU; however my Mac is from 2013, and I am using an eGPU. I would like to play 4K videos from YouTube, but it seems to only be possible via software decoding (at least on Safari). Does anyone know if it's possible to force hardware accelerated video...

    MBA M1 Spatial Audio Issues

One of the main reasons I wanted it is so I can get Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos running like on my iPad with my Airpods Max. So far getting limited success (Spatialize Stereo only) on most streaming services and...

    Safari's downloads list can only hold the twenty most-recent downloads, even when set to only remove items from the list manually. That's absurd.

    This appears to be a Safari thing, not a Safari 15 thing. It's also a bit ridiculous. I just downloaded ~50 files. Some of the downloads did not complete; some didn't even start... but there is no way to know that in Safari, since the failed downloads were all toward the beginning. Meaning they...
