Safari is falling behind by the day.
Its usability is borderline ridiculous.
Mouse over a tab, it shows a preview of the tab, you click, and Safari decided to surprise you show **some** tab.

This is weird...
Just went to download something from the Apple site on my Sequoia MBPM4P. Safari 26.0.1 alerts me with the usual "allow downloads" dialog, but instead of just asking about the site I'm actually downloading from, it includes the OTHER TAB that just happens to be open in the same window. No way to only approve the site I'm actually d/ling from.
No harm *in this case* but it sure smells like a bug.

Been trying for 6 days now to complete an upload onto FilmHub. Can't figure out if the ISP/router/safari/content blocker is causing the upload to interrupt every 20min or so. Have to manually restart it every time, and it'll be a miracle if the file isn't corrupted in the end.

For those of you tolerating Liquid Glass and the quite horrific Safari redesign on mobile/tablet: Kagi’s Orion browser actually seems to be an awesome full replacement. No complaints so far. Easy access to tab management, no weirdly hidden buttons or menus you need to tap multiple times to see fully. As a bonus, it has built-in filter support as well as several great Firefox and Chrome plug-ins. And Kagi’s search is optional. In fact you have more search options than in Safari.

Well, Apple, making Safari 26.0.1 run like a dog’s breakfast on macOS Sequoia while also *not* providing a download for Safari 18.6¹ is definitely a choice.²
No way I’m breaking nearly half the apps I rely on daily by upgrading to Tahoe just to fix Safari so I guess I’ll be making Chromium my default (I use Orion a lot, especially since I pay for Kagi, but it has its issues like 1Password not working, etc.) And don’t get me started on Firefox³.
So, Apple, how about a little less …

Can anyone think why I can access Pinterest in Firefox, but not Safari?
Safari just shows a blank screen 🤔
#MacOS26 #Mac #Pinterest #Safari

The main reasons for me to use Safari on macOS despite being behind on web standards is integration with its iOS siblings and performance.
However: bookmark sync is unreliable and relatedly reading list is so janky too that I switched to GoodLinks. And somehow the UI gets increasingly sluggish until I restart it like an old Windows system.
I guess it's time for an experiment.

The bugginess of iOS 26 Safari is getting old

It turns out that if you launch Zen, Twilight, Firefox, Safari, iCab, Edge plus its three prereleases, Chrome plus its Canary version, and SeaMonkey (under Rosetta) all at once you can make Sequoia run terribly on a M4Pro/24GB MBP.

@… thanks for the sipeed nanokvm usb video! I've got one on order and looks like it's gonna be great.
As far as browsers: Safari's webkit and Chrome's blink have diverged quite a bit now, so they are a separate engine really; Firefox's Gecko is the only fully separate one in a browser you'd want to use right now, but Ladybird and Servo are both things that are coming along.

The most frequent argument in support of Safari is its energy efficiency.
Are there any actual benchmarks?

Statistical Analysis of Magnetic Patches in Solar Active Regions Using the Complex Network Method
Identifying solar active regions (ARs), which consist of one or more pairs of magnetic patches with opposite polarities, is essential due to their significant role in dynamic solar atmospheric phenomena. In this study, we analyze ARs during their emergence and evolution on the solar surface using a complex network-based method known as Identifying Solar Magnetic Patches (ISMP). To examine the magnetic characteristics, we selected a subregion of 125 $\times$ 125 pixels centered on AR NOAA No., 1…

I seem to be able to do this in Safari on Youtube player. But I don't think that's relevant in any way.

Idk who needs to hear this, but don't use Google's Chrome browser.
Some easy to use, fast and compatible alternatives are Firefox (cross-platform) or Safari on macOS/iOS.
Also more esoteric browsers based on Firefox like LibreWolf or the Tor Browser; I can't vouch for these as I don't use them personally.

Upscaling Tomographic Volumetric 3D Printing via Virtual Stitching of Coordinated Projections
Tomographic volumetric 3D printing offers layer free, rapid fabrication of objects with high design freedom, but is limited to relatively small curing volumes because of the optical constraints imposed by an assumed need for telecentricity. We present a method to virtually stitch multiple projections from different light sources to build a single workpiece. To avoid the built in requirement for telecentricity and thus the need for an index matching vat, projections are produced by a graphics pr…

Just because you add some ARIA and call something “accessible” doesn’t actually mean it is.
Looking at a self-described “Accessible, high-perf” infinite scroll (it really just starts over) that is janky as fuck, doesn’t take keyboard focus (in Safari), uses scroll snap to awful effect, and lets the scrollbar thumb become a liar.

Picoflares in the Quiet Solar Corona: Solar Orbiter Observations Halfway to the Sun
X-ray observations of the Sun led Eugene Parker to propose nanoflares as the basic energy-release units that heat the solar corona. Decades later, Solar Orbiter's Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (HRIEUV), operating halfway between Earth and the Sun, revealed thousands of even smaller brightenings in the quiet corona - tiny "campfires" that are smaller and far more frequent than the fundamental nanoflares observed from 1 AU. We analyze over 12,000 of these events, deriving their thermal energies us…

I think Safari v26 has actively broken multi-line text paste into text fields, in an EXTREMELY strange way.
If I copy an entire raw email message out of MailMate and paste it into a form on a web page, all linefeeds are removed and the first header line is case-squashed.
I can paste the same clipboard into a Terminal session or a BBEdit window and the text is unmolested. Pasting into hexdump shows a perfectly normal stream of all-ASCII characters with LFs

So what's a good alternative to Firefox (I'm using it when I'm not on my Mac). I don't want their new "AI Window" stuff and I don't want to support it.
It has to work on Windows and an iOS version as well, and can sync passwords between those.
Please only suggest things you personally use and like.
I'm ruling out Chrome (spyware) and Brave (homophobic owner).
(Wish Apple would still make Safari for Windows.)
