Please add way to maximize the window. I rage quit when it goes fullscreen or just tall.
Try option-click on the green icon in the app window. It’s well hidden and unintuitive, but I think it does what you want.

Apple: adblocking, PWA being put in a odd spot, surely to be followed by a post "nobody was using it" before being removed, if they mention it at all. Google: ad blocking
Ad blocking isn't nerfed
It is when compared to Firefox. Safari and now Google claim that it's for security, as the newer interfaces expose way less attack surface for malicious add-ons. I think that it's true that it does improve security, although I'm not sure that I believe Google when they say they're not doing it to stop people from blocking their main revenue source.

#36The one feature I would love to see is WebSerial support, now that Firefox has it too.

#37Anybody know how to get Safari to “sanitize” on shutdown (delete cookies, cache, etc), except for whitelisted domains? After lots of fiddling I’ve realized this is probably the best privacy/convenience compromise for me, but Safari is the only browser I can’t even find a plugin to do it in.

#38The team has been on a roll lately with massive fixes & improvements. Like last months announcement of over 500 fixes. https://webkit.org/blog/17967/news-from-wwdc26-webkit-in-saf...
They finally used some of those trillions to buy one (1) Claude pro subscription.
It's because the EU is forcing competition on them for iOS Safari, and iOS Safari shares code with MacOS Safari. Now they have to at least try to keep up.

At least the blocker I use, uBlock Lite, isn't nerfed. It doesn't have Manifest v3-ish limitations, and can do dynamic blocking, injection, etc.

I use Adguard/wipr to great success. Why's uBlock Origin better? Also, wipr now has filtr, which provides URL filtering at the macOS level, so it's as efficient as it gets.
I think the limitations are similar to the manifest v3 issues that the Chrome version has. Specifically, you (the ad blocker) send the browser a list of sites to block, instead you blocking them yourself. That means it's way harder to do clever things like scriptlet injection to find ads and get around adblock detection.
Not true in Safari. uBlock Origin Lite doesn't have those problems.
