    Since they nixed uBlock Origin Safari has not been a serious web browser to me. No amount of technology can make up for it.

    And they recently released the Safari MCP in STP as well.

    Looks like the Safari MCP is also now available in the most recent Golden Gate beta part of system Safari:

    The team has been on a roll lately with massive fixes & improvements.

    Like last months announcement of over 500 fixes.

      They finally used some of those trillions to buy one (1) Claude pro subscription.

    Does this help stable Safari in any way? I have a WebKit bug I’m tracking that’s fixed in STP but not in stable and it seems like there’s no telling whether it’ll ever land.

      It'll land eventually. They always do, though maybe months down the road. But of course Apple won't preannounce its plans, and unfortunately I'm not aware of a way to track WebKit commits in specific Safari releases.

    This update fixed some web inspector bugs that I reported, but I can't use it because Safari Technology Preview inexplicably supports fewer macOS versions than Safari itself, i.e., no longer Sequoia.

    It’s impressive that pinch-zooming reddit.com in-out-in-out has reliably crashed ios safari for at least a few years already. One would assume Apple gets telemetry from iphone default browser crashes, and reddit seems important enough to warrant a fix
