How to override Safari shortcuts for better Gmail workflow?

Recently switched from Chrome to Safari. It's great except a bunch of the Safari shortcuts are overriding my go-to Gmail/Google Apps shortcuts. For example the shortcut to CC someone on an email opens up Inspect Element instead. Is there a way to change this?

A shout out to Apple on Safari "Flock" commercial addressing browser insecurities.

Hey, I know it must seem like I've been hiding in a cave snce I just saw the Safari flock commercial on browser security, but I'm a student and I don't have a TV and took classes all summer. Anyway, it's great to see Apple publically address internet security gaps! The polar opposite is true for Microsoft who continually sneaks browser app extentions onto my computer, in which I try like hell to exclude, but they just pop-up over and over again.

Help - No Downloads working anymore! (says "can't move file")

Hey everyone -- for some reason for the past few days, I haven't been able to download anything off safari, or rather, I can't open anything I've downloaded. Plenty of disk space, etc. etc. and I've tried many different locations to troubleshoot, but what keeps happening is after it finishes downloading, it remains a safari download file and I can't open it, it just flashes a message saying "can't move file." Any idea what I can do here? at a loss.

Safari private tab dns vs normal is different

I don’t know how to word this, but is there a reason why the DNS in the private tab uses Akamai technologies while the normal tab uses dns servers from my isp itself? I’m not using any dns profile on my phone

Youtube theater mode

I always preferred to watch videos on YouTube in "theater" mode because then the image is bigger... however, for some time now, it is no longer saving this option of mine, even if I have just logged out/in on the page

I have tried changing the cookies with this code document.cookie = 'wide=1; expires='+new Date('3099').toUTCString()+'; path=/';, but without success

Is anyone experiencing this or have a solution? Thanks

Removing unwanted messages under Safari search field

In Safari when the window is blank and in full screen and I've typed nothing in the search field there is that big block thing under the search field with top sites etc. that now has a "Suggestions" list with a video link. What can I do to remove the item from this list and remove the list itself and prevent it from coming back?

Using FIDO2-Passkeys with 3rd Party PW-Manager

I use Bitwarden as a PW manager on my macOS 15.3. This has to do with the fact that it is a business computer and my company hosts Bitwarden itself for security reasons. For some logins with FIDO2, I have stored a passkey in my Bitwarden Safe. In every popular browser (Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Edge), the FIDO2 login with the passkey from Bitwarden works without any problems. Only not in Safari. During the login process, the system dialog prevents the selection of a passkey from Bitwarden. Is there a way to deactivate this dialog from the OS?

Hi, I have problems when searching using Safari

Whenever I try to search using search bars on Safari, it just loads and no response even when the Internet works but when I use google.com and search, it works. I don’t know what problem this is and how I can solve it. I would appreciate any help! Thank you.

favicons not rendering

is there any way to get this idiot app to STOP dropping favicons on the tab bar? no other browser has this issue, but i'm closing this fucking thing once a day, deleting favicon cache, and then manually reloading each of the many many tabs i have open so i don't have to see these disgusting gray letter icons instead of the actual goddamned favicon.

what the fuck are they doing in cupertino that this is still a fucking issue six fucking years or so after it first cropped up.

Amcrest Web User Interface not working properly in safari depending on resolution of the video stream.

MacOS 15.2, Safari 18.2 Amcrest IPM4-1041W. If the main stream resolution is set to 2560x1440, 2304x1296, or 1920x1080, the web view won't play video and it's impossible to access the settings and config pages. Everything works fine in Chrome. If I reduce the resolution of the main stream to 1280x960, 1280x720, or 640x480, everything works just fine in Safari.

Since I prefer to use Safari and also to view the camera at full resolution, I'm hoping there's fix for this.

Same issue with Amcrest IP2M - highest resolution available is 1080P but only works in safari at 720P.

Need Help with a password save on Safari

I recently made an account on the website AXS to purchase event tickets and after the account was created, safari told me that the password in my iCloud Keychain for the email I used on AXS is different and asked if I wanted to update it. This is the first time I’ve ever used AXS and have never had an account previously.

I’m confused because I don’t actively use iCloud Keychain. While “Sync this phone” is toggled on in the Passwords and Keychains section, no accounts are saved in the Passwords app and I’ve never had any accounts saved there before. When I created the account, Safari didn’t ask me if I wanted to “Save Password”, which I’d assume is the prerequisite to allowing the account to be saved in the Keychain in the first place. My Autofill Passwords and Passkeys is also toggled off, and has always been off.

Should I be concerned or any ideas why this would pop up? Not exactly sure what this means.

Favicons with Bookmarks in iOS 18.3

Why for the life of me don't we have favicons on bookmarks in iOS18 or iPadOS 18? I have them in Safari on my Mac and they show up in the address bar (only) in iPadOS 18 but iOS 18 lacks them completely. I'd just like them with the bookmarks. Drives me nuts.....

New York Times game issues

I like to play a few NYT games (Wordle, Connections, Letter Boxed) each day. Safari for Mac OS - I'm running Sonoma 14.7.1 at the moment - seems to have issues with these sites though. They load fine, but the browser almost always freezes up at some point, locking up for 30-90 seconds until the issue resolves itself.

I've turned off all extensions but the issue persists. Anyone else having trouble with these sites?

Hide scrollbar on YouTube

If the scrollbar on YouTube in Safari annoys the crap out of you, I was able to hide it. Check out the steps below:

  1. Install an extension called UserScripts from the AppStore

  2. Open the extension popup and click on "Open Extension Page"

  3. Click on the plus button in the left column to add a new script item and select "New JS"

  4. Select the default text and paste over it with this:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Hide YT Scrollbar
// @description    Hides the scrollbar on YouTube
// @match          *://*.youtube.com/*
// @exclude-match  *://music.youtube.com/*
// @exclude-match  *://*.music.youtube.com/*
// @inject-into    content
// @grant          GM.addStyle
// @run-at         document-start
// ==/UserScript==

GM.addStyle(`body::-webkit-scrollbar { width: 0 !important; }`);
  1. Make sure the toggle is on for that script. You can name it too. I called mine "Hide YT Scrollbar"

  2. Go to YouTube.com or refresh and the scrollbar should be gone.

How can I get this in safari?

I want vertical tabs in safari, there is a side bar which lists all the tabs but it doesn't have the close button like edge has to quickly close things. Right clicking and closing the tab is a pain if you need to close multiple tabs. I saw this video and I want to know how can I achieve this in 2025

iOS Safari logs me out of Google, but only on my primary profile

Hello,

I have two profiles on Safari: the primary one created by default when you use the browser for the first time (which I turned into the personal one) and a secondary one I created manually (which is now my work profile).

The primary one constantly (at least once a day) logs me out of Google, but only on my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.2.1.

I tried everything: turning off "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking", turning off Private Relay, turning off all my ads-block extensions, disabling the native content block, turning off developer mode, turning off "Block All Cookies"...

To trigger it, I just need to close the Safari app on my iPhone, then reboot my iPhone. Sometimes it will need two reboots, but some other time it will log me out right after one reboot.
