Safari 14 brings improved performance, customizable start pages, a Privacy Report to see which cross-site trackers are being blocked, and a new tab bar design that provides tab previews so you can see what you have open at a glance. Today’s update also removes Adobe Flash.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I’m seeing a bug<\/a> [Update (2020-09-19): fix<\/a>] that affects sending the selected text to a system service or Quick Action.<\/p>\n\n

For the first time, WebKit’s tracking prevention measures are exposed to the user (beyond enabling the Intelligent Tracking Prevention debug mode<\/a>).<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The Privacy Report means, quite simply, that WebKit’s global tracking protections<\/strong>, such as truncating all cross-site referrers<\/a> and blocking all cookie access in third-party context<\/a> have been applied to all<\/strong> the cross-site HTTP requests sent from the site, including but not limited to those shown in the Privacy Report<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this approach is without a doubt to just show how the biggest trackers on the web have been prevented from cross-site tracking, but the measures are not<\/em> limited to just these domains. Nor are WebKit’s ITP measures<\/strong> applied to these domains automatically (I repeat: WebKit does not use blocklists - it classifies domains algorithmically).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Safari 14 release notes didn’t mention an important new feature: support for web extensions. Probably because there aren’t any Safari web extensions yet! But support is indeed there for web extensions in Safari 14 for Catalina and Mojave. Previous versions of Safari already had support for Apple-specific app extensions, such as my own StopTheMadness<\/a>, but Safari 14 also supports the cross-platform WebExtensions API<\/a> used by Firefox and Google Chrome. Unfortunately, that support is not complete. Ever since the Big Sur beta was released at WWDC in June, I’ve been working on a brand new Safari web extension that I’m really excited about, and I think you will be too. I would love to release it now that Safari 14 is publicly available, but I can’t, because I found a bug in Safari’s web extension support that’s a showstopper for my extension. In short, the bug is that run_at document_start<\/code> is not reliable in Safari.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Some websites that used to work fine, e.g., Chase.com are drawn with a blank area, a refresh is required.<\/p>\n

Save Image As... is not working at all. I get a rainbow beachball, then nothing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2020-12-08): Mr. Macintosh<\/a> (MacRumors<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Apple has just released a Mojave Supplemental Update that address all the problems that the previous Safari 14.0 and 2020-005 Security Updates! This news comes one day after Apple pulled both software updates from the software update catalog.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
