FINALLY we've come full circle and can have widgets on the desktop again! It's not like a revolutionary killer feature for me, but I just always preferred having information always in my "peripheral" instead of having to actively check a separate menu.
This time it can mirror widgets from iPhone though, which makes it much more useful.
I’ve used Nativefier for years and am excited for this new feature described in the release notes: > Web apps let you use any website like an app, complete with an icon in the Dock for faster access and a simplified toolbar for easier browsing.
Are these separate instances/containers with regards to cache and cookies and such? I would love to have this because I have multiple Atlassian accounts I need to juggle and it is a pain today.

How do you get it? Not showing in settings.

Isn’t that what DriverKit can be used for?
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/security/secd0a47c14c:
“DriverKit is the framework that allows developers to create device drivers that the user installs on their Mac. Drivers built with DriverKit run in user space, rather than as kernel extensions, for improved system security and stability. This makes for easier installation and increases the stability and security of macOS“
For those curious, yes Apple did fix the Sonoma firewall bug reported by Mullvad. https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/9/22/macos-14-sonoma-firewa...

I hear what you're saying, but I'm not planning to ever move to a subscription model for storing my passwords.
As long as you're comfortable self-hosting and admining, that shouldn't be a problem.

Wait when were widgets ever available on the desktop before? Years ago they were on a separate dashboard screen but that wasn't the desktop. This seems entirely new, not any kind of full circle. Edit: just to clarify, I'm talking about on Macs, not Windows.
Desktop Accessories were on Mac since 1984. Konfabulator was a much more modern precursor to Dashboard, and existed in the early 00s. It put them directly on your desktop. Also you could make Dashboard widgets stick around by changing a plist setting
And Konfabulator was cool but it wasn't part of the OS.
The plist setting is interesting though -- definitely never knew about that. But again, not part of how they were designed to operate for the average end user.

I reluctantly did buy Extfs from Paragon for this. It's too expensive I think, but there are just no free opensource solutions.
I'm not really willing to install a third-party kernel extension just for a custom file system I need once every few months anymore, especially given that Apple's native exFAT drivers now apparently run in the userspace.
They should just make that capability available to the actual-userspace!
