Desktop Safari has had push notifications since like… 10.9 Mavericks. Only mobile Safari doesn't support them.
I thought this too, but it seems Safari only supports the Notifications API for when a site is open, not Web Push for background notifications? https://caniuse.com/push-api
I'll be curious to know if virtualizing Windows on an M1 will be faster than running native on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) in Big Sur. If so, I guess I'll only be missing eGPU capabilities.
Any updates to the firmware or drivers for bluetooth? My 2017 Mac has had many issues with bluetooth consistency. Keep on hoping they will announce performance improvements.
I've noticed this in the last month/two - on my 2018 MBP as well - my Logitech MX keys/mouse will both randomly disconnect for 5 seconds and then pair back, this wasn't happening before.
> “Big Sur has been engineered, down to its core, to take full advantage of all the power of the M1 chip” Does that mean that all of the OS code has been recompiled for Apple Silicon / ARM? And if so, does that mean Big Sur has two binaries: 1 for ARM (new M1 Macs) and 1 for Intel (existing supported Mac devices) and there is a flag at boot-time to determine which mode it runs in?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would there be a boot time flag instead of just having two versions, seeing as a particular CPU could only run one version?

Just want to put here that if you're using a Mac and haven't tried Safari recently, you're missing out. A few things: - Battery life is fantastic compared to Chrome/FF - Privacy seems to be top-notch - The tab ordering situation is now chrome-like (my biggest gripe in older versions of safari) - Experimental features are 1 click away, easily enable/disable WebGL2 - Support for the WebExtensions standard means addons…
Please tell me it is more stable than Catalina. I have to reboot my machine every day or two just to keep it going.

I haven't upgraded from Mojave but I've also been daily driving Safari for the last few years. I gotta admit that in the butt dyno department everything feels significantly faster than any other browser. I made the switch when I realized how much more power efficient it is and haven't looked back. I only use FFX and Chrome for testing, although I tend to use FFX a lot for the developer tools and Vue integration. That…

In the PPC - x86 transition the binaries were all ‘universal’, with code for both platforms.

I've been under the assumption that FF with its ABP, uBlock, and Privacy Badger extensions, as well as the included FF tracking protections were the toughest you can get. Is Safari is up to that level now?
