    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 Accessing Contacts/ App Privacy Report

    Since the release of the App Privacy Report, several forum users have noted that Safari is attempting to access Contacts. There is no explanation of why Safari would need this information, or what it is doing with the information accessed….. Creating a separate thread to focus on this issue...

    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

    Just purchased a M1 Macbook Air to hopefully replace my aging iPad and Intel Macbook. 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...

    Safari Private Window

    Usually if I'm doing something in Safari for which I have entered a password or credit card number, etc. I will do Safari/Clear History. Of course, this affects access to other websites where I might want to remain logged in. I've never used a Private Window before but think this would be more...

    Safari skipping search results page.

    Hello, Safari skips over the search results page when using the previous page button. For example: I search "bananas" and click on a result which brings me to a webpage. I decide I want to choose a different website and use the back button. Rather than returning to the search results page, I...

    Safari new tab eating the first character

    Hi everyone, TL;DR: If I do "command+T insta" quick in safari 15, only "nsta" is written. Same for any other words of course. I just got a brand new 14 inch M1 MacBook Pro on Monterey, and I noticed that on Safari 15.0 if I create a new tab (command + T) the focus goes to the address bar (I...

I have a 13' M1 (with Touch Bar <3) and safari has just been awful since Monterey and the updates. I keep getting...

    "rebuild" Safari history without actually losing history?

    I'm having a lot of problems with Safari 15.1...they all seem to be related to History. Part of the problem started with the Monterey upgrade. Problem 1: more often than not, if I hit cmd-shift-T to reopen the last closed tab, Safari crashes. I've tried selecting Reopen Last Closed Tab from the...

    Running Monterey- On my MBP I often have two separate Safari Windows open so I can perform multiple tasks at once, view a source document while working in another document, etc. When I click a link in another app, such as Mail, it often opens in the smaller window rather than the one I want to...

    Safari Show All Tabs

    I know that Shift + Command + \ will Show All Tabs in Safari. Does anyone know if there's a keyboard shortcut to select a tab when it's in "show All Tabs" view? Thank you!

    Safari webpage loading issue.

    This is happening right now. I type something in start page search bar, the page loads, I can see the page's content. And then immediately the webpage reverts back to the start page! Another example: sometimes when I use google to look for images, I click the image tab, and then it loads, and...

    Weird bug on Safari/browsers driving me nuts. Cmd+Tap (tap to click) does not open link in new tab.

    My new Macbook Pro 14" just arrived and have been testing it out. With 'Tap to click' function enabled on the Trackpad settings, holding Cmd+Tap (not a deep press) on a link in Safari or any other browser (I first discovered in Brave browser) to open link in a new tab will not work and be...

    No Spatial Audio Support when using Safari Monterey

    If I go to Netflix or HBO Max using Safari, spatial audio toggle is there but when selecting it, it automatically goes to spatial stereo. Is there actual Spatial Audio support for non Apple streaming platforms using Safari yet? Or is this a Monterey update that needs to be made to support...

    I just got new M1 Max MacBook and also using MacOs Monterey for the first time. First thing I wanted to check was HDR content and fired up the Bulgaria 8K HDR. The colours on Chrome were totally washed out but safari is showing HDR content amazingly well and display is also treating it as HDR...
