Overview

Safari Technology Preview is a web browser app for macOS built on the most recent version of WebKit, the engine that powers Safari. It gives developers an early look at upcoming HTML, CSS and JavaScript features, along with the latest Web Inspector and Responsive Design Mode.

It is a standalone app that runs side by side with the current Safari and works with iCloud for Favorites, bookmarks and Reading List. New releases arrive every few weeks, each with its own release notes, and issues can be reported to Apple from the app's Help menu through Feedback Assistant.
