macOS 26.4: Verbesserungen für Safari und Batteriemanagement – und eine Warnung
Apple hat in dieser Woche die erste Entwicklerbeta von macOS 26.4 vorgelegt. Die neue Siri fehlt, dafür gibt es andere Verbesserungen – und eine wichtige Info.

Anyone knows how to achieve this effect in SwiftUI on MacOS 26? The slight shimmer around the tabs (dark and light modes).
These are taken from Safari's tabs:

Safari-Browsen mit ProMotion: Auf iPhone, Mac & Co. zunächst deaktiviert
Teurere Apple-Geräte beherrschen schon seit Jahren höhere Refresh-Raten. In Safari sind die aber standardmäßig inaktiv. Die Umschaltung ist aber einfach.

Actually kinda like the new styling on the Safari tab & tool bars. *ducks for cover*

This is the only correct action to take when a web site asks you for age verification.
Tell all your friends.

Spent the day figuring out how to create macOS "web apps" from the command line (like old-school Fluid site-specific browsers, SSBs - accessed via the "Add to Dock" button in Safari.)
Here, have my shat-out half-AI-written script for this, since I couldn't find anybody else having done this after scouring the internet high and low:

System/Scripts/create-safari-webapp.swift at main · ELLIOTTCABLE/System
dotfiles, handy scripts, and new-system configuration stuff - ELLIOTTCABLE/System

Oglądam sobie czasem kanały różnych "podróżników" odwiedzających biedne rejony świata i brak zrozumienia i refleksji jest porażający... "Zacofane cywilizacje", "wolniej się rozwijają" to częste i najmniej odrażające z usłyszanych porównań.

Urządzanie sobie "povety safari", żeby wyjrzeć z za swojego płotu, tylko po to, żeby poczuć się lepszym i połechać dumę z tego jaki piękny mamy płot. Bleh, odrażające...

Swoją drogą, polecam Kapuścińskiego.

Performance-wise, Safari on iOS apparently doesn’t seem to like the over-engineered CSS custom property calculations for fluid type and all the other stuff in my little style mixer. 🙈
But hey, my personal site is my playground, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there a known solution to send a link from any non-Safari #macOS browser to Safari's Reading List? This is possible on the iPhone as part of the Share actions.
I'm mostly interested into how to do this from Chrome and Firefox based browsers.

@… safari is out on safari

Wikimedia data puts iOS 26 adoption at ~50% in January vs. iOS 18's 72% in 2025 as Apple slows auto-updates; Statcounter showed 15% after missing Safari changes (John Gruber/Daring Fireball)

The iOS 26 Adoption Rate Is Not Bizarrely Low Compared to Previous Years
A change to how Safari reports the OS it is running on led many in the media to lose their minds.

Flashback. I found a reminder of my July 2014 plan for a three-year transition away from Mac OS X.
From an October 2014 post:

@… Point taken, my comment about it being the stylesheet wasn't necessarily meant to be technically accurate.
Here's a fun comparison, desktop Safari vs. the Simulator. *Something* is different about Safari running on iOS it would seem.

Still not working from my laptop due to stupid caching (particularly Safari) but can confirm mstdn.chrisalemany.ca is alive! yay.

@… this is on mobile safari on iOS 18.7.2, if that matters. (I am/was trying to do some back-of-the-napkin math while away from a larger computer.)

When I look at https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim in Safari, the code snippets are not displayed using a monospaced font.
Is this on my machine only?

Google Chrome: Schnellerer Wechsel von Safari auf dem iPhone
Auf Mac und PC kennt man das Feature: Mit einem Klick werden Browser-Infos übernommen. Google setzt das nun auch auf dem iPhone um.

The @… javascript shitshow is somehow even worse now? Hard to imagine but apparently rendering a page taking 4 seconds on a iPhone Pro Max stock safari is production ready.
How does this crap ever ship.

today's rabbithole: scroll shadows with just css.
- background-attachment - well-established hack, works ok, but tricky to do in some layouts (eg sticky footer)
- container query scroll-state stuck - chrome only for now and kinda buggy
- scroll animation - works ok in chrome and safari. not yet firefox without flag. awkward if you want a smooth fade at a particular closeness.
leaning toward scroll animation, because it feels like the most natural way to express it

@gruber I purposefully have automatic downloads and updates turned off because OS 26 seems half-baked and I wanted to wait. Last weekend, after pestering me for a week even though I kept pressing “cancel update” my iPhone and iPad ignored all that and installed OS 26 overnight. I know I’m in the minority, but how do we evaluate the adoption rate with this in mind?

Wow, seems the people farmers of surveillance capitalism have fully embraced scammer techniques now.
Ran into this new flow on a number of sites just now (Indiewire, Variety, and RollingStone) delivered by the colossal douchebags at html-load.com who run report-error.com.
They make it look like a browser error has occurred and then tell you to disable your tracker/ad blocker.
To the asshole developers who built this for them instead of refusing: Fuck you for making everyone…

It has been 19 years since the launch of Firebug v1.0.
It’s hard to overstate how critical this Firefox extension was. Before 2007, tooling was scarce. Firebug introduced the DOM inspector, live CSS editing, and the network monitor—features that laid the groundwork for the advanced performance tooling we rely on today in Chrome, Safari, and Edge.
Happy Anniversary, Firebug. 🎂

Did something break safari performance in macOS 26.3? between ChatGPT.com lagging on typing (like, hanging for ~500ms), and now racefans.net hanging for 250ms on scrolls, it feels like something is broken.

Interesting speculation. I wonder if there’s anyway to find out.

iOS-26-Nutzung: Statcounter räumt fehlerhafte Zahlen ein

You know that Firefox feature where bookmarks could contain a %s in the url somewhere and then the name of the bookmark could be used as a prefix in the address bar to quickly query some website? What's that feature called? Does it exist in Safari?
