Every so often I daydream about a magical web browser with my preferred settings: [x] Block javascript popups and scrollovers [x] Block newsletter and notification solicitations [x] Really block all forms of auto-playing video in a way that actually works
I'm happy to contribute two new features as part of my WebKit internship: the ic unit (as mentioned in the changelog), and CSS Motion Path, which I'm honestly surprised is not mentioned.

Legit the only reason I don't use iPhone is due to being forced to use Safari (or Safari rendering engine wrapped)
Safari on iPhone is by far the fastest mobile browsing experience you can get. Are there extensions or web features you need that Safari doesn’t have?
With so many new features being added to browsers lately it is easy to forget, that not all browsers on old devices are updated, be it older iPad or even laptop with ChromeOS. Dear web developers, please don't forget to add fallbacks or polyfills for older devices.
That's the risk you take by buying iPhone or ChromeOS: you're buying into a platform where you don't have the option to find alternatives for "core" system functionality. I care as much about outdated browsers as I care about Internet Explorer. If you want a modern experience, buy devices that allow you to update the browser (or complain to your manufacturer that you can't). Every other website has given up on my old…
On ChromeOS devices you usually can install a regular linux distribution though.

I wish they'd add an option to disable webp, it's really annoying to save a photo and get it in a format that's supported almost nowhere.
It was just the other day I am thinking, may be all photos saved from the web should either be JPEG ( direct download from the page ) or it would be saved as lossless PNG. We now end up adding AVIF, WebP, possibly JPEGXL, the upcoming WebP2, and what else? I am not entirely sure more format is a good idea.
Amusingly there's also a WebP lossless which is a completely different algorithm they just let a random employee invent.
Aaaand they introduced WebGL bugs that broke our product, and iPhone users will experience these bugs until we can hack a workaround in, or until Apple acknowledges a bug report (that I have to make a minimal test case for and report, and haven't narrowed down yet), patches the issue in Safari, and decides if it's important enough to release as a 15.4.1 (which they probably won't, which means I'm stuck finding a work…
>or until Apple acknowledges a bug report a side question, how do you make a bug report on Safari? I've found FF and Chrome easy enough, but when I went to look for making one on Safari about a year ago I decided screw it, it seemed hard to find where to start (by googling at any rate)

Doesn’t supporting web push notifications involve having worker processes running in the background all the time to poll or keep a socket open for updates? I could see that dragging down battery life if one has notifications for more than just a small handful of PWAs enabled.
Native apps already do this...
Is Apple going to do anything about Safari (on my 2021 16" M1 Pro) hitting 200 points in BrowserBench, while Chrome hits 299? Sure, Safari battery life is great, but the browser is slow, buggy (refreshes the page when I back a page half the time; can't speed up videos without audio distortion; typing into the search bar is laggy and I on a daily basis arrow down to select a previously used URL, hit enter, and then fi…
I had this. It went away when I stopped using the tab groups.
It's a shame because I _liked_ the tab groups, but I like not being annoyed by a stupid search bar bug more.
