Oman Horizon Bulletin

Washington, January 30 – Apple has officially launched Safari Technology Preview 212, the latest update to its experimental web browser designed to give users and developers early access to upcoming features before they are integrated into the standard Safari browser.
Enhanced Performance and Web Technology Updates
First introduced in March 2016, Safari Technology Preview serves as a testing ground for new web technologies, security enhancements, and performance optimizations. The latest update brings bug fixes, improved stability, and refinements across various areas, including:
- Authentication & Forms – Improved login and form handling for better security and convenience.
- Canvas & Rendering – Enhanced graphical performance and smoother rendering of web pages.
- CSS & JavaScript – Faster execution and support for modern web standards.
- Networking & Loading – Improved page load speeds and optimized resource handling.

- Web API & Web Inspector – Additional developer tools for debugging and optimizing web applications.
Compatibility and Accessibility
Safari Technology Preview 212 is available for macOS Sonoma and the latest macOS Sequoia, ensuring compatibility with Apple’s most recent operating systems. Users who have previously installed Safari Technology Preview can update via System Preferences or System Settings using the built-in Software Update feature.
Unlike Apple’s developer-exclusive software, Safari Technology Preview is free to download for all users. It enables developers, web enthusiasts, and testers to explore cutting-edge browser capabilities without requiring a developer account. Since this version can run alongside the stable Safari browser, users can test new features without affecting their daily browsing experience.
Apple’s Vision for Web Development
Apple continues to use Safari Technology Preview to gather real-world feedback and refine upcoming features before integrating them into the official Safari releases. The initiative plays a crucial role in ensuring that Safari remains competitive with other leading web browsers while offering an optimized experience tailored for macOS users.
For those eager to explore the detailed release notes and feature updates in Safari Technology Preview 212, Apple has made the official documentation available on the Safari Technology Preview website.
