Site translation

Hi, The site translation feature that settles in Safari is not visible on every site. The working principle of this is that the 'lang' value on the site does not match the language to be translated, but the 'translation' icon cannot be displayed on some sites, so that I cannot understand the reason.

How can I ensure that there is always a translation icon?

Did Apple Just Nuke Safari? Nothing Loads, Tabs Freeze, and Shortcuts Are Broken

Hey everyone,

Is anyone else experiencing insane issues with Safari lately? Everything is taking forever to load—pages just sit there spinning, and even my shortcuts like Gmail and YouTube take ages to open. Sometimes, tabs don’t load at all, and the app just freezes completely, forcing me to Force Quit just to get it working again.

I’m on a MacBook Pro 14” M3 Pro running macOS Sequoia 15.3 (24D60), and it feels like Safari has been completely nuked. I don’t remember it being this bad before, but now it’s borderline unusable.

Is this just me, or is this a widespread issue? If anyone has any fixes, I’d love to hear them because I’m about ready to jump ship to Chrome. 🚀

Is the Digital Credentials API new? Implies that websites might soon be able to read IDs in Wallet.

Found under Settings > Safari > Advanced > Feature Flags, is this Digital Credentials API new? Apple has a small footnote on their developer page for the Verify with Wallet API that they plan to support web-based sharing of IDs in Wallet.

Safari Favorites Keep Resetting

I have my first Mac. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max, an iPad Pro (4th Gen), and now this 2024 MacBook Pro with the M4 Max, 16 Core CPU, 40 Core GPU, 48 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD. It is wonderful in every way and I'm loving the switch...it's only day 2. However, I'm having one major issue. I decided to try switching from Chrome after all the data issues I've had there the last couple of years. I imported all my favorites, deleted the stock favorites, and organized everything for about 45 minutes. The first time I restarted the computer, everything was gone. So I went simpler, and tried just doing the favorites import and then force quitting. That wiped everything imported out and went back to stock favorites again.

So I went to the web...which had only a couple of ideas, but nothing worked. I tried turning off iCloud sync, even tossing in my other devices (that I never used Safari on anyways). I tried checking all my settings to see if there was an obvious issue, but not so much. I have zero extensions so I know it's not those. I am out of ideas. Even Reddit posts only have one or two responses on the topic or long rants about Chrome vs. Safari vs. FireFox. Has anyone ever found a solution to this problem? Thanks!

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?

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?
