You probably have to restart because the web rendering engine (WebKit) used by your browser (Safari) is used all over the rest of the system as well (in webviews). Just a guess though.

Rings a bell. I seem to remember that someone sometime got into some trouble for something like that. Just a fading memory.

Yes I think it was something about forcing that to users through a de-facto monopoly of 95% of computers in the world.

Not sure why people try to apply monopoly restrictions to Apple. They don't have monopoly position (not even close) in any market they operate.

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 t…

There aren't. You can collect donations on behalf of an organization just about anyway you please. Many of them have Apps for that. It's super fun on iOS because you have to kick out to Safari to complete donations so you don't have to pay the Apple tax. Not that I would know about any of that...

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…

The company I work for offers remote access to Mac/Win/Linux - We've been offering Mac Sierra (beta) for a while with Safari 10 installed: https://testingbot.com/support/getting-started/browsers.html which you can control straight from your browser.

Relatively minor change, but one of my favourites; cmd-z will now undo multiple tab closes.

That, or they could implement a real "recently closed" interface like every other browser. Is there some obscure security or performance reason they don't do this?
