Apple has released Safari 16 as part of its update wave. The new update brings some features from macOS Ventura to macOS Monterey and macOS Big Sur while we wait for the launch of the new operating system in October.
Safari 16 includes tab group home pages, support for pinned tabs in tab groups, and tabs in the sidebar. The update also includes cross-device syncing of website settings and strong password editing so you can customize your passwords to meet different website-specific password requirements.
Safari 16 is here
- Safari 16 introduces new features, even faster performance, and improved security.
- On the tab group home pages, you can add different background images and favorites for each tab group.
- Pinned tabs in tab groups allow you to pin frequently visited websites to each tab group.
- Tabs in the sidebar give you a list view of your open tabs.
- Settings you have made for specific websites are now synced across devices.
- With the strong password editor you can adapt strong passwords to the requirements of each website.
Some features may not be available in all regions or on all Apple devices available. The update also fixes several WebKit vulnerabilities that could track users via web extensions, lead to arbitrary code execution, and UI spoofing. While these vulnerabilities are not known to have been actively exploited, it is still worth updating to the new browser to take advantage of Safari 16's features.
