Also, Safari did not show that a file was being downloaded (the download icon...

    3 and 4 keys doesn't work on YT in Safari only

    Hey, You can use 1, 2,...,9 (above letters) on YT to move quickly in the video. But I can't for 3 and 4 keys only. Yes, It's very specific. Is it a YT bug with Safari or a Safari bug? Because It works on Firefox and Chrome, so It's not a hardware issue. I have a 14" MBP M1 Pro. Thanks

    Safari always using significant energy. How to fix this?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 16 inch with M1 Pro chip and 32 GB of RAM. Whenever I work on safari my battery stats always show that it is using significant energy even if only a single tab is open. Is it normal or something I should be worried about?

    Bad UI in Safari's private/regular mode switch

    I believe there's a bad UI decision regarding the private/regular mode switch in Safari. This annoyed me since iOS 15 and I couldn't quite figure out why exactly. So since iOS 15 we have this UI There's no reason to have "Private" button while in private mode. It just does nothing and...

    iOS 15.5 just deleted all of my Safari tabs

    All 250 tabs. Gone. Thanks Apple. I was actually hoping this update would fix the awful Safari tab history issues where it will frequently remove all of a tab's history while browsing for no apparent reason. Guess I don't have that issue anymore, I don't have any tabs!!! Jesus f***ing Christ...

However, since then, iCloud features in Safari have been intermittent to unusable. iCloud tabs do not work, at all. The Reading List syncs intermittently and incompletely. Handoff...
