Apple has rolled out a fresh update to Safari Technology Preview, version 233, bringing a slate of bug fixes and performance enhancements. The preview browser, originally introduced in March 2016 as an experimental playground for upcoming Safari features, is now updated to refine animations, HTML, MathML, rendering, Web API, and Web Inspector components.
This latest build is confirmed compatible with Macs running macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe—the newest macOS releases. Users who have previously downloaded Safari Technology Preview can obtain the update via the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences (or System Settings on newer macOS). Full release notes detailing all changes are published on the Safari Technology Preview site.
Apple’s overarching goal with Safari Technology Preview remains to solicit feedback from both developers and testers about the browser’s development path. The preview can run alongside the standard Safari browser, and while it’s tailored for developers, it does not require a developer account to download or use.
