Apple has unveiled an update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser launched in March 2016 to explore potential features for future versions of Safari. The latest release, version 172, introduces various bug fixes and performance enhancements across multiple areas such as Web Inspector, CSS, Image Set, Rendering, Editing, JavaScript, Media, Popover, SVG, Accessibility, HTML, IndexedDB, and Web API.
The current iteration of Safari Technology Preview, version 16.4, is compatible with macOS Ventura-powered machines. Users who have already downloaded the browser can access the update through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences or System Settings. Detailed release notes for this update are accessible on the Safari Technology Preview website.
By providing Safari Technology Preview, Apple aims to receive valuable feedback from both developers and users regarding its browser development process. This experimental browser can be used alongside the existing Safari browser and, although primarily targeting developers, it is not restricted to those with developer accounts for download.
