It is likely that, if you use an Apple device, be it an iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc., you have as a predetermined browser to Safari, the company's own, because it is the one that best usually works, because it is integrated into the ecosystem, and it is the one that, natively, comes in the equipment.
However, you may not know Safari Technology Previewthe same browser, but with the tools and functions of the future, that is, a spice of Beta app of what would be Safari as such, that allows us to try how new it will come, before anyone else.
New characteristics of Safari Technology Preview
Apple has launched version 219 of Safari Technology Preview, its experimental browser designed to test functions that could be incorporated into future Safari versions. This update includes corrections and improvements In areas such as Canvas, CSS, JavaScript, Media, Rendandalized, Web API, Web Extensions and Webrtc. The new version is compatible with Sonoma macOS and Macos Sequoia, and can be installed next to the standard safari browser without a developer account.
This browser is complementary to safarias we have just mentioned, that is, it will not be necessary to replace the original, as usually happens when we want to try the beta of an operating system, so we can download it without problems, use it, and if we have any error, simply return to the original to visualize everything correctly.
Apple uses these programs to collect information from users who decide to try it, with the benefit of being the first to do so, but also giving the company the data on data on errors, performance, load speed And all kinds of comments about these new tools, knowing what their customers think, and improving the mistakes they may suffer, thus avoiding that the rest of the users, being forced to use it in Safari, in future updates, do not have to go through this.
The APP icon is the same as the original, except the color, where we will see a slight change between the classic blue that the real one has, to the purple that we will find in the “beta”, so that you can differentiate them well by the icon if you have both on the desk or in the dock, for example.
You can do the download of this program from the Apple developer website, which I leave you herewhere you will have a note with all the changes in the version, as well as the requirements of this, being able to Know, in advance, if your version of macOS will be compatible with the future browser, Taking, thus, a few weeks, to a possible need to update your MAC or version of the system.
And you, did you know this Apple application? The truth is that except that you like to experiment with new things, and be the first to try them, or even the few who do it (since not everything ends up) is fine, however, if you prefer something stable, with a lower battery consumption, and do not give you problems, then the best thing will be to use only the native or an alternative to safari, but not a beta, waiting for these news, to try others. future.
