Yep, I just installed the iOS 26 beta as I hate the transparent Liquid Glass UI so much. 😐

They are simply giving pubs the option to stay open later - why are you opposed to that ?

Yeah, you can have the Safari Tech Preview installed alongside the default one.

Command and commandFor - yay - my number one most wanted feature ! :-)

👍 Great suggestion. I also recommend Supercharge.

Animated GIFs are a terrible format created a very long time ago (1989?) with huge file sizes, limited color palette. It’s really best to avoid using them altogether I think.

Yes I think so, but that’s a feature flag which is off by default at the moment - hopefully it’ll be enabled by September! :-)

I realize this is an OS level thing rather than Safari specific but please pass on feedback. I liked how they were close to looking like Bootstrap ones before christianoliff.com/blog/using-s...

I’m generally happy with all the recent features added to safari (svg fav icons were on my wish list for a while!) but I really, really hate the new default switches in iOS 26. The thumbs are too long. If you have a native switch on a webpage it’s going to look totally different from iOS 18 to 26.

A new version of HTMLHint :-)

Sadly, not even the latest VS Code recognises this as a valid HTML tag. :-(

You’re not alone in that thinking - www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/css-car... is a great read about many of the issues
Are 'CSS Carousels' accessible?

(Chrome on iOS uses Safaris browser engine remember)

Unfortunately Safari does not currently support the CSS anchor positioning API - so that’s why it isn’t working. Hopefully Apple will add support soon!

Will the next version be called ‘Super Next Edit Suggestions’ (SNES) then?
