The new version of Apple's web browser is now here for macOS running Catalina and Big Sur with the official release of Safari 15.
In testing since its unveiling at WWDC 2021 in June, Safari 15 has seen major changes this year, with design updates being rolled back and giving users the option to switch between the older or newer user interface.While this version will start shipping with macOS 12 Monterey once a release date is confirmed, users running Catalina and later can update to Safari 15 and benefit from improved security features alongside the updated design. What’s immediately apparent is the new design that Safari 15 features, with tabs sitting beside the address bar, alongside the entire window adapting to the current web page’s color scheme, so you may see it turn entirely blue or red from time to time. However you can revert to the previous design by going to Preferences > Tabs > Separate Layout, alongside making sure that the window doesn’t change color by unchecking ‘Show Color in tab bar’.Under the hood, Safari 15 can switch to a HTTPS connection automatically when browsing, alongside better tracking protection, and a bunch of security updates.You can update to Safari 15 by going to Software Update > Check for Updates and the new version will be available to download.Here’s our list of the best privacy tools for anonymous browsing Daryl had been freelancing for 3 years before joining TechRadar, now reporting on everything software-related.
