Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 48 With Bug Fixes and Feature Improvements

by

safaripreviewiconApple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser Apple first introduced almost two years ago in March of 2016. Apple designed the Safari Technology Preview to test features that may be introduced into future release versions of Safari.

Safari Technology Preview release 48 includes bug fixes and feature improvements for Storage Access API, SVG, Service Workers, CSS, Web API, Rendering, Web Inspector, Web Driver, WebRTC, JavaScript, and WebAssembly. Today's update also disables the automatic AutoFill of user names and passwords and page load to prevent sharing information without user consent.

The Safari Technology Preview update is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store to anyone who has downloaded the browser. Full release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple's aim with Safari Technology Preview is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. Safari Technology Preview can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download.

Which doesn't mean all that much considering a good portion of the features they don't support are optional and/or proposed standards that haven't been finalized.
