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.

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:

So, I still have not updated my iPhone to v26 because I hate everything I’ve seen about the “Liquid Glass” and Apple still had a v18 update last time around.
But I expect I will be forced to upgrade since Safari with Lockdown Mode on in v18 chokes on almost every page, redrawing a couple of times before giving up. I also see this in a couple of apps which are probably just thin wrappers around Safari WebViews. Turning off lockdown mode for the site ends the problem.

Is it just me? Perhaps because I often have only one or two tabs open - I'm a compulsive tab closer. But the new UI in macOS Safari for handling tabs wastes space, is hard to use, and confuses me constantly about where the URL box is and such. I am unsure why it passed muster at product review time.
Perhaps it works well for others. But even if you always have more than one tab open, it still wastes vertical space.

Ok, I’m procrastinating downloading a bunch of vids with yt-dlp and at this point I’m already reaching the tabs limit on this Safari profile
What’d be the best way of downloading a bunch of videos with yt-dlp while still keeping a good control of what failed and what succeeded? (this is basically impossible from its output if you feed it a bunch of links in a single go)
I was wanting a webui I could selfhost and it’d show progress and status for each video it’s downloading (and let me pass custom options to the yt-dlp command, such as filename), but should I just make a script with a for loop for each URL instead?

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.

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.

Exposomics is an important "new" science. As it matures, it will require medical AI and database analyses. Genetics CANNOT be separated from the environment. Genetic expression is inherently environmental.
Here's a short article explaining the Exposome. (Though gods help you if you can't suppress ads and pop-ups. It works fine in Safari's Reader Mode, e.g.)

@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?

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. 🎂
