If you like testing new features before everyone else, Apple just dropped a fresh update for its experimental browser. The company officially released Safari Technology Preview 241, bringing another wave of performance tweaks and background improvements to Mac computers. This specific test browser has just hit its tenth anniversary since launching back in 2016.
It gives both regular users and developers a sneak peek at the tools planned for future mainstream updates.
Here’s what’s in the latest Saferi Technology Preview
Version 241 packs in a massive list of bug fixes. The development team focused heavily on fixing bugs across the entire browser engine. Instead of just listing everything together, the company detailed these changes across several core areas of its software.
Here is a breakdown of the improvements included in version 241:
- Core web standards: Updates to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Web API.
- Graphics and media: Fixes for Canvas, Images, SVG, Media, Rendering, and Animations.
- Developer tools and network: Improvements affecting the Web Inspector, WebRTC, and Networking protocols.
- Browser functionality: Adjustments to Accessibility, Forms, Printing, Storage, and MathML processing.
If you want to read every single detail, you can check out the official Safari Technology Preview release notes on the developer website. The company uses this standalone app to gather real-world feedback without messing up your main web browsing setup. You can actually run this experimental version side by side with your standard Safari application.
You do not even need a paid developer account to download it. Anyone can grab the installer straight from the company website. If you already have an older version of the test browser installed on your machine, you can easily grab the newest patch. Just open your System Settings, click on the General tab, and head into the Software Update menu.
Keep in mind that this specific release requires a Mac running either macOS Sequoia or the newer macOS Tahoe operating system to work properly.
