Apple releases Safari Technology Preview 243 with bug fixes and performance improvements

Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ to allow users to test features planned for future versions of the Safari browser.

‌Safari Technology Preview‌ 243 includes fixes and updates for Accessibility, Animations, CSS, Editing, Encoding, Forms, HTML, JavaScript, Media, Networking, PDF, Rendering, SVG, Scrolling, Spatial Web, UI, Web API, Web Extensions, Web Inspector, WebAssembly, WebGPU, and WebRTC.

The current version of ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ is compatible with machines running macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe, the latest version of macOS.

The ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ update is available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences or System Settings to anyone who downloaded the browser from Apple’s website. The full release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple’s goal with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can work side by side with the existing Safari browser and although it is designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download and use it.
