Apple has launched a fresh update for its test browser, known as Safari Technology Preview, which was introduced back in 2016. This browser lets people try out new features before they’re added to the regular Safari browser.

- Styling with CSS
- Web Forms
- JavaScript
- Page Loading
- Network Connections
- PDF Viewing
- Visual Display
- SVG Graphics
- Text Handling

This version of the test browser works on computers with macOS Sonoma or the latest macOS version, macOS Sequoia.
You can get this update through the Software Update feature in your System Preferences or System Settings if you’ve already installed the browser from Apple’s site. For all the details on what’s changed, check out the update notes on Apple’s Safari Technology Preview page.
The purpose of Safari Technology Preview is to get input from both users and developers on how to make the browser better. You can use this test browser alongside your regular Safari without needing a special developer account. It’s a great way for anyone to help shape the future of web browsing.
