Does "in the old days" mean before Apple nerfed Safari extensions? If so, Adguard is the best ad blocker I've used on the Mac by leaps and bounds. It runs as a kext and can block ads system wide. It also blocks at the DNS level for some of the tricker stuff, which also saves bandwidth since your computer will terminate connections to known ad domains at the earliest stages of a web request.

This is getting off-topic, however.
Ah, my apologies for going off-topic. Wasn't my intention. Will check out AdGuard, thanks.
 
Is there an option to toggle True Tone on/off from the Control Centre?

Can someone give me the latest buildnumber of Safari 14 of the Big Sur Beta?

I want to compare it to the latest Safari Technology Preview because I've been waiting for VP9 support for Catalina. And version 112 doesn't support it at least on YouTube although I turned on all necessary experimental features.
 
It's Version 14.0 (16610.1.25.1.3) on Beta 5

Thanks! So the latest Safari TP 112 is 14.0 with WebKit 15610.1.25.5.1.

Big Sur Bata 5 16610.1.25.1.3 vs Catalina Safari TP 112 15610.1.25.5.1

So the first 15 or 16 is the OS-number. Then everything is the same except the last two ones. Is it true that the Safari TP is newer then the Version of Bis Sur Beta 5? Why I don't have 4k-youtube on Catalina then? My machine is running a navi card (5700 XT) so technically a hardware decoder is there. I have turned on all experimental features that should enable VP9 support on the TP. Can someone on Beta 5 try the latest TP on run 4k on youtube?
 
Does anyone know if Apple announced anything regarding Apple Mail and Office 365? I vastly prefer Apple Mail over Microsoft Outlook as Outlook is just a hog in comparison. It will slow-down while typing e-mails even though I barely run anything else on my MacBook Pro at the same time.

My big problem with Apple Mail is how there is no way for me to add shared or delegated mailboxes from Office 365. When I add my Office 365 account it will only add my actual mail account, there is no way for me to get access to other shared and delegated mailboxes on Office 365 and considering how the whole idea behind Office 365 is to utilize shared mailboxes and not stick to the old way of doing things when you had on-premise Exchange Servers were "shared" mailboxes was simply a regular mailbox where you added multiple sign-in options that you provided to multiple employees this is limiting the usefulness of Apple Mail in any kind of business and enterprise scenario.

And considering how big Office 365 has become it would figure that Apple was going to add this functionality at some point but so far I can't seem to find anything on macOS Big Sur BETA5 and I can't seem to locate any details on what changes are coming to Apple Mail with Big Sur. Does anyone know?

Only for Big Sur. Got to wait for 2020 iMac support.

I'm not having the best time having to downgrade my user account from Big Sur to Catalina. But it is what it is.

I use copy and paste to replace app icon in the application folder. Right click on the application and Show package content. In the Resources folder find your icons to be replaced and rename your icons exactly to what is in the resources folder. You need to convert your png files to icns files. Or download lots of Big Sur icns files from Github.

all my icons both format, png and icns,

actually i asked for can we add any app or script to control center like dock, didn't installed big sur yet just wondering this
 
Here’s a little video with extra details.


The menu bar has been updated, notably the colour of the text/icons now contrasts the wallpaper for better legibility.

From that video, it seems Spotlight doesn't show previews anymore... Am I missing something?
 
Spotlight‘s been generally messy for me with the Betas. Often won’t show anything except for web search suggestions.

Dang, you got me excited when I thought "modified" = "updated". I thought for a split second that Apple had come to their senses and ditched the excessively heavy drop shadow, but no. You're using a custom icon.

My crystal ball tells me custom icon packs are going to be a very big thing for Big Sur unless they change things over the next 2 months.

One thing:

MAIL DROP

No Mail Drop, no Outlook... as I send huge attachments virtually all the time. And I won't upload stuff to Dropbox etc. first... wait for the upload to finish... and copy a link.

I really like the updated interface of Outlook insider build... unfortunately it only works with Gmail and Outlook email. Once it works with all email accounts and Apple allows any Email app to be the default on iOS/iPadOS, I'll probably be looking at switching to Outlook.
