Safari 26 is here!!! Anchor Positioning, Scroll-driven animations, High Dynamic Range images, the new HTML element, the all-new Digital Credentials API, SVG icon support, WebGPU, WebKit in SwiftUI, every site can be a web app on iOS and iPadOS, and much more.

@jensimmons "there are now zero requirements for “installability” in Safari" - this is false statement. Still adding a web app to Home Screen on #iOS requires multiple clicks in menus and isn't intuitive. This is discriminating.

"Browser support started in November 2014, and Safari adopted in March 2018" - this summarizes how #Safari has long been lagging behind in supporting new features, e.g. #WebGPU has been supported in #Blink & #Gecko since 2023 and only now it's added to @webkit. So late!

@jensimmons –

Thank the team so much for the constant effort.

Alas, the celebrated couple – Safari's (and Web apps') toolbars and "theme-color" – are having another falling-out, are they? Would that they'd decide once and for all how they feel about each other.

(I suppose it's tempting to stray when the current object of one's attention has a good body and a respectable background.)

@span jensimmons Could WebKit do a technical writeup and/or demo page for the new privacy features?

I can't figure out how to reproduce or test them.

@span jensimmons Really excited about JS-free tooltips becoming a reality 🎉

Related, I like to show a little tether arrow, I have a verbose way of doing that now but it would be great to have some sort of “::tether” pseudo-element.

@span jensimmons Some nice additions, I can’t wait to start using scroll-driven animations. Will older versions of MacOS be getting the update as well, or is it exclusive to MacOS 26?
