The biggest hope I had from macOS Sierra was Picture in Picture, but sadly, iTunes is basically the only thing supporting it. Till, then, I'm stuck using Helium. Helium : http://heliumfloats.com

No, anything that does standard controls will support PiP and as indicated in the notes for HTML5 players that have their own controls (like Youtube) then it's possible to do it through JS (if Youtube decides to). I'm sure some browser plugin can be created to add the controls to Youtube or all the other major HTML5 players.

You can use PiP for the YouTube HTML5 player by right-clicking on it twice, see my previous comment:

I don't own a Mac, but I'm curious if Safari 10 is finally good enough to run one of my hobby projects, and if not I'd like to debug it because it seems the feature support is finally here (specifically, IndexedDB). Are there any better options than coercing one of my friends with a Mac into upgrading and letting me borrow their laptop? If not, will I have to get them to upgrade the whole OS like it's old school Inte…

You can't run Safari on Linux or Windows if that's what you're asking.

But you can use a service like Browserstack to run Safari if you don't otherwise have access to a Mac.

I just updated Safari to 10.0 without being on macOS, so it's presumably standalone. Some features (i.e. picture in picture) might not work as well, but indexedDB has been in Safari for a while, so I'm sure the updates to it are supported everywhere.

Wait, what? What other OS is it out for?

Safari 10 seems to choke while I'm reading this page: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/fall16/lectures/01-intro.h... Usually about the time I get to the section on Animations.

+1.

Doesn't work for me in chrome either. The images (or whatever they are) doesn't load at all, but just show up gray with the text that they couldn't load. Better than choking like Safari does though.

  When the webkit-playsinline property is specified, Safari on iPhone allows videos to play inline. Videos without the property will commence playback in fullscreen, but users can pinch close on the video to continue playing the video inline.
  On iOS, videos without audio tracks or with disabled audio tracks can play automatically when the webpage loads.
This allows for inline videos in Safari on iOS. Previously, webkit-playsinline only worked for pages saved to the home screen.

(That comment is using "macOS" to differentiate from older builds of "OS X".)

Notably, the ApplePay API is entering general availability (GA)[1]. The following networks are supported[2]: amex, discover, interac, masterCard, privateLabel, or visa. The following products are prohibited[3] as well as many other services: * cigarettes or tobacco products; * firearms, weapons, and ammunition; * illegal drugs, non-legally prescribed controlled substances; * items that create consumer safety risks; *…

A pretty standard laundry list of no-go items and then... > * collection of charitable donations; !! This seems really different from all the other prohibitions. What's the idea behind that?

I imagine all the legal regulations surrounding charitable donations and tax breaks. If someone was fraudulently gathering money under the guise of charity, it would turn into a huge headache for them, even worse than normal fraud.

That's pure speculation on my part. Given that Tim Cook is personally very pro-charity (he put a matching contributions policy in place after assuming the CEO role), it seems likely that this will loosen up once Apple can put some certification policies in place.

You can use BrowserStack (https://www.browserstack.com/) or Sauce Labs (https://saucelabs.com/) to test with Safari.

BrowserStack supports Safari 10 now (https://www.browserstack.com/list-of-browsers-and-platforms?...), Sauce Labs only lists up to Safari 9 currently (https://saucelabs.com/platforms#macos).

I think you're hung up on the name change. It's now macOS, whereas it used to be OS X. When the parent poster is says macOS, they mean the latest version of OS X/macOS.
