Safari is significantly behind google & other platforms on PWA, can we plan to see this change anytime soon?
Gabe O'Leary
@russellreeder seriously, it would be awesome if they would implement accepted standards such as web push notifications. Too bad they are anti-competitive and refuse to do so...
Christopher Carr
@russellreeder - I don't suppose they have much incentive to move the Web forward -- wouldn't want web applications to be _too_ native-like, eh?

@russellreeder PWAs don't allow me to select text or open links in new tabs. I'll actively oppose PWAs until the people who push this concept fix these major issues.
Marz
@russellreeder I'd say stop worrying about PWA... consumers don't know anything about it and won't bother setting them up. Just look into React Native or Swift UI, ship a real app and be done with it

Just a heads up: Some browser extensions will not work in this and future releases, due apple's extension policy changes. This includes some of the ad-blockers and website altering extensions which you could previously download from their website in the past. They're moving their extensions into the App Store.

@curiousigor time to move to Firefox or Brave once and for all, I guess 😛 Only reason I use Safari at all is because of the great, intuitive open-tab sync between Mac and iPad. I'd miss that a lot 😢

@curiousigor uBlock Origin is no longer supported...

@curiousigor It's about time extensions have to pass the same rigor as apps

What's new in Safari 13.0: The Safari 13 update contains feature improvements as well as privacy, security and compatibility enhancements and is recommended for all users. This update: • Includes an updated start page with Favorites, frequently visited, and most recently visited websites • Provides a warning if a weak password is typed when signing in to a website and helps to upgrade it to a strong password • Adds the ability to enable Picture in Picture from the audio button in a tab • Enables jumping directly to an already-open tab from the search completion list when the website address is typed into the Smart Search field • Adds support for authentication using USB security keys on supported websites

Installed Safari 13 with iOS 13. Trying to record just audio using the HTML Media Capture standard crashes the browser: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxh87c...

@naicuoctavian iOS 13 is beta, so bugs are to be expected.
Justin Scheetz
@naicuoctavian iOS 13 was released yesterday, but yes, it's still buggy. I'd test it again in 13.1 on the 24th.
Zachariah Moreno
@naicuoctavian did they add support for the timeslice parameter?
Octavian
@zach_moreno I've been following the Safari Technology Preview releases and I've seen no updates to the media Stream Recorder API since January https://blog.addpipe.com/safari-... Anyway, I've opened a bug report about the HTML Media Capture issue above @ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug...
Zachariah Moreno
@naicuoctavian awesome & I've opened another on the missing timeslice parameter @ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug...

Not happy as now extensions don't work, I have gone to Opera, as Facebook is not bearable without Social Fixer and FB Purity. A step backwards for me! Can't even use Grammarly.
Rahul Sethuram
@nigel_white Grammarly works now, I just tried it.

And probably still without Meet support, right? Then someone sets up a meeting, asks to be via Meet, and you need to switch browsers. Poor experience.
Marz
@andredemoraes not sure what "Meet" is, but this would not be a problem with Safari. 3rd parties need to produce a plug-in to access video and audio capabilities of your device, so your complaint would be with them
Yury Molodtsov
@andredemoraes the problem is Google uses their own VP9 codec (as well as Facebook and Slack, at least as far as I know) which isn't really a part of the standard therefore Apple decided not to support it.
Rahul Sethuram
@andredemoraes I use Safari for everything, but every once in a while I come across something (like Meet) that only works in Chrome etc. For that, I open up a single Chrome tab just for that meeting. It's a poor experience, but the pros of Safari make it worth it for me (privacy, secure extensions, iOS password sync, "share" button - airdrop links!, battery life on Macbook, performance).

This is beautiful and deserves to develop and continue to work__
