A lot of good (if long-awaited) changes in there, like smooth scrolling. Interesting to see how hard they're pushing the fact that they are the first browser to implement a bunch of features.
If you go back, you’ll see this highlighted by Apple when they’re first, which happens more often than the prevailing narrative would suggest.
What's the best way to access newer features in Safari if one's work computer is locked to the previous version of macOS?
Edit: removing the snark/sarcasm I put into it. I was really hoping this announcement would include support for push notifications for PWAs. I've been trying to build a few Discourse forums and they work very well as PWAs except for the fact that iOS doesn't support PWAs sending push notifications. So here's to hoping the next iteration will.
... I assume WebKit has had support for this for a long time, since Safari on macOS has long supported push notifications.

Until Apple fixes the mess they made with ad-blocking and allows full-fat ublock origin to work on Safari again, it could be 100x better than any other browser and it would still be worthless compared to Firefox. Shame, because I really do like Safari.

Ah, so you mean you want a free solution, because why should the devs of an extension that you obviously value earn anything from their work?
Speaking only for me, I'm OK with paying, but trusting browser extensions, as they currently exist, is hard.

Web developers are interested in the features that are widely supported. "Being first" helps no one.

I thought I read [0] that there will be experimental support for push notifications in 15.4. Perhaps keep any eye on advanced safari settings when it comes out?. At least there appears to be progress, and you may be able test it. [0] eg, https://www.macworld.com/article/610673/ios-15-4-safari-push...
It’ll probably be officially announced at Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference in June.
