Well I hate to say it but it seems #Safari
is broken,
For the past couple of weeks I have had to use #Firefox with many, many sites after Safari fails to load images, shows no bar to scroll down a page, and load of other issues.
I man going to permanently move to Firefox by the …

I'm torn as to whether this is a good part of the job, but today I once again ran into a limitation of Safari and thus also Chrome on the iPhone. After quite some time, I discovered the cause. Tomorrow I'll work on the workaround. #webdev #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.

Sometimes works in Safari too.

Hmm - installed the Safari update that was in the settings app on my MacOS 15.7 MacBook Pro and now I can’t close tabs by clicking the X on them, nor click and alter the path. I can use Command-W to close just fine.
Odd...

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 …

Cool. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45963780

Tahoe is a whole thing today... I've had icons disappearing from my Safari Start Page, invisible App windows in Mission Control, A disappearing mouse cursor in Photoshop.
And... what is it with the window corner radii?
I mean come on!

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.)

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.

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 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

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…

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…

The bugginess of iOS 26 Safari is getting old

Oh, apparently, it can be done through Safari too #translate

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.

Fun fact. The iPhone Air is so thin that is not visite on Apple's website when you look at it on Safari on iPad. (The iPhone shows in Chrome, though)

A complex network approach to TESS light curves of $δ$ Sct stars
By using the horizontal visibility algorithm, the TESS light curves of 69 delta Sct stars are mapped to undirected horizontal visibility graphs (HVGs), where the graph nodes represent the light curve points. Then, the morphological characteristics of HVGs, such as the distribution of links between nodes (degree distribution) or the average fraction of triangles around each node (average clustering coefficient) are measured. The average clustering coefficients for HADS and LADS show two differen…

DINOv3 with Test-Time Training for Medical Image Registration
Prior medical image registration approaches, particularly learning-based methods, often require large amounts of training data, which constrains clinical adoption. To overcome this limitation, we propose a training-free pipeline that relies on a frozen DINOv3 encoder and test-time optimization of the deformation field in feature space. Across two representative benchmarks, the method is accurate and yields regular deformations. On Abdomen MR-CT, it attained the best mean Dice score (DSC) of 0.7…
