    Newer Safari version cause eye strain?

    I have stumbled on a weird problem. It seems that any version of Safari greater than 13 on Mac OS causes eye strain and sometimes headaches. I can install 14 or 15 on my Mac running Catalina 10.15.7 and they both do it. If I revert to 13 it stops completely. The rest of the OS and apps are fine...

    Bug: If you have pinned tabs, and happen to use the "Window > Merge All Windows" function, it removes the pin tabs. Can you confirm this bug is present for you as well? If so, please tell Apple at Apple.com/Feedback/macOS—you can copy/paste the above to make it easier.

    Safari: Certain websites won't load after Ventura

    This actually happened pre-Ventura for me on certain devices, but it's definitely a problem now after updating to Ventura (MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Pro) - certain website either won't load, load extremely slowly (minutes) and/or load incomplete (missing parts). Weird thing is that they load fine...

    Hi, A few months ago my email stopped being available in the popup menu for a number of sites. Instead, I need to manually type it. I log in/out of dozens of sites a day and it's a HUGE time waster. I never enabled this "feature" in my iCloud settings, nor do I want to. IT IS NOT ON. It has...

    Safari 16.0 will not load tabs in the background

    I've just upgraded to Safari 16.0 under OS 12.6, and the tabs have, once again, stopped loading in the background. I have a group of tabs that I click to load up all the URLs for the day. I want them all to load at once—not once I've actually clicked on any given tab.

It's annoying to try and check email, but first have to click through this ad each...

    Completion suggestions sometimes appear (grayed out) as I type in the safari search field, and behavior of the delete key depends on whether safari can come up with a suggestion. If there's no suggestion and I "delete", then my most previous character is deleted and the cursor backspaces one...

    There’s been a lot of talk about In-app Browsers recently especially with TikTok and Instagram, etc… One thing I’ve been wondering: How safe are In-App Browsers?
