Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 149 – Brings Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

Apple has released Safari Technology Preview 149, the latest version of their developer preview web browser. The preview version of Apple’s popular browser offers developers and other interested users the ability to try out features that may or may not, debut in future public release versions of Safari.

‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release 149 includes bug fixes and performance improvements for Web Inspector, Media, CSS, CSS Container Queries, Rendering, JavaScript, Screen Sharing, Web Animations, WebAuthn, Navigation Preload, Web API, and Security.

‌The current ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release is built on the Safari 16 update and it includes features coming in macOS Ventura. It adds support for Live Text in videos and images, new web technologies, web push Passkeys, improved Safari Web Extensions, and more.

The preview is available for both macOS Monterey and macOS Ventura. It is no longer available for macOS Big Sur.

While the preview is intended for use by developers and advanced users, in order to provide Apple with feedback on the development of the Safari browser, it can be run side-by-side with the release version of Safari. The app doesn’t require a developer account to download and install.
