Hi Safari team, I am a product manager working for a large content recommendation company. Our JavaScriot SDK is running on more than 9000 leading publishers worldwide and has been certified to be aligned with global legal and privacy regulations and guidelines. We have the following problem: Since the launch of Safari 17 (in iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS) - we can see our JavaScript SDK blocked when the user uses the private browsing mode Safari 17 sometimes identifies our loading and rendering JavaSctipt files as any request/action by our domain to be a tracking activity (we see the JavaScript files in the console tagged with “Blocked connection to known tracker” log) In previous Safari versions, we only got the tracking functionality blocked, allowing our content to render We have the following questions: Can JavaScript running in Safari detect the user has the privacy mode turned on? Was there something specific in Safari 17 “Tracking Protection” functionality that now blocks content rendering on the page in addition to tracking activity? Context: We can run our JavaScript without performing any form of tracking, either directly by my domain or any other 3rd party vendor we are working with. We will render our content without performing any form of tracking or fingerprinting We are already following Apple’s iOS IDFA guidelines. Our iOS SDK, for example, detects and respects when the user opts out from sharing the IDFA on an iOS app running our code. In that case, we show our content without breaching the App Tracking Transparency framework rules. Besides sponsored content, our JavaScript SDK also powers organic recommendations for our clients. With Safari 17 blocking anything in private browsing mode, we see unfair interference with organic engagement. Please let us know if you provide guidance to allow our JavaScript SDK to render content when the user uses the private browsing mode, adhering to the privacy requirements. Thank you for helping! Omri.

Hi, after the upgrade to Safari 17 the Mouse Over text, is not popping up any more. At least not in graphics. When inspecting the Element, the <g cursor="pointer" aria=label='text..' is there, but it is not doing anything. How to activate this again? Thanks

Is there any way to open new tab next to the current tab instead of opening it all the way to the right? I tried my best to find some setting to do this but didn't found any. Any help will be appreciated. 🙂

I'm testing/debugging a Capacitor app using Xcode and Web Inspector. My Javascript source file initially displays in "pretty print" mode when loaded. Breakpoints are mapped incorrectly in this mode, so are unusable. If I switch to "original formatting", the breakpoints line up, but "find" doesn't work for finding certain sections of code where I want to set breakpoints. So far I've had to look at my HTML/Javascript file in another editor and find the line number, then scroll there in Web Inspector while in original formatting mode.

Good afternoon. The problem is that I can't activate the developer account. A company in the Israel region - all the data was confirmed by apple and placed an order, but the money is not debited from the card, I read that this is some kind of general problem, maybe someone solved it? Apple will hopefully fix this problem soon I really need to publish the application

In Safari 16 I could: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDevelopMenu -bool true defaults write com.apple.Safari.SandboxBroker ShowDevelopMenu -bool true This doesnt seem to work in Safari 17 Anyone aware how to get this functionality back? Thanks

Hello, I noticed there's a glitch with inspect element. Under elements, when I try to uncheck a style property, the whole element's CSS gets removed, sometime's the whole webpage's. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to fix this issue. Thanks

version: iOS 16.4(20E5239a) both on my iphone and Simulator，Safari -> develop shows "no inspectable applications"

sonoma 14.0 safari 17 developer tools JSContext, cannot debug desktop webAPPs. Anyone know how to set it up?

I have simulators downloaded to my 14" M2 Pro Macbook Pro, and for some reason, I cannot see any simulators as an option in Safari's Responsive Design Mode. Am I missing something obvious, or is my computer bugged? Above is an image of the Responsive Design Mode showing no simulators. I would offer more screenshots to prove that I have simulators installed, but it won't let me upload any more photos for some reason.

Hello, I am in the process of converting a Web Extension to a Safari Extension. I need to use browser.downloads.onCreated.addListener in my extension but the browser.downloads API is not supported yet. Do I have another way to do that?

my web service has video content. the problem is in chrome browser, downloading and playing video is much faster than Webkit browser (Safari and WkWebView). we are struggling to find the reason why there is huge gap between two browsers. we've checked browser inspector and there's something look like error in safari inspector that doesn't appear in chrome. There are two cases in network section. First red header case that I think something went wrong Second yellow header csae that I think succeeded to donwload

When I add a web site to the dock in Mac OS Sonoma, the developers menu isn't available anymore. We have a web site, that behaves differently whether in docked mode or standard mode and I'd want to check the java script console. What options do I have?

In Safari 17.0, the Responsive Design Mode was updated with two major changes. The quick device view icons that were at the top were removed in favor of a simple resizable web view. New integration with Xcode simulator for easily opening a website in a devices native simulator. The new simulator integration is nice. It definitely promotes giving a much better testing of webpages since we get to see the webpage in the native app/environment. I think that this new integration is welcoming. However, removing the device views has been a major step backwards. These views gave us quick access to checking webpage layouts across different devices with the click of a button. As a web developer, I am aware that these views are not a guarantee that the website will be fully functional on the device clicked on. The simulator is better for that. But during the development process, these views were good for quick sanity checks as it was quick and "close enough". Having to launch multiple simulators to test on two different iPhones and two different iPads takes a lot of time. The devices have to boot up each and load the website. This wastes minutes of time vs the fraction of a second it did before, just for a quick check. Another downside of the simulators is that if I am testing a web app that requires a login, I need to log into each app on every simulator. The older responsive design mode just used the exact session that I was logged into Safari with. I submitted this as feedback as well... https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/13225118

So previously I had a Mac Pro 2020 Touchbar with i5 16GB RAM and it was a pain to work with Safari due to the lagness of the web inspector. I thought it was related to my hardware. Upgraded recently to an M2 Pro chip 32GB 2023, and still happens the same, i can't believe how bad it is to develop & work with Safari. Even when trying to search on files it lags as if it has a 500ms debounce per key stroke. Adding breakpoints and following code line-by-line, everything is laggy. What is going on? It's literally impossible to work on big projects and having to debug with Safari.

I cannot access developer tools from the web app once it is added to Docker. I am facing an issue with the web app, but it is working fine with Safari. I need to debug this. Any guidance on how to open the console/web inspector would be helpful.

Hello, safari consumes less CPU than Chrome, but it does not consume less RAM. When you access YouTube in Safari, especially when you skip 5 seconds while watching a video, the buttons are very inadequate compared to Chrome. The video and audio lag, the loading sign appears and the audio lag is very annoying. At the same time, when I log into Twitter, some videos do not play but remain loading. While browsing the web in Safari, the mouse sometimes remains stuck. While typing, the mouse becomes a line, but when I hover over something to click, it still remains as a line. There are such bugs. I like to use Safari, it is very useful, but I always prefer to stay in Chrome because of such errors. I try it every time Apple updates Safari, most bugs go away, but new ones come and unfortunately the Youtube problem is very bad. This problem only occurs on YouTube, not on Netflix and similar platforms. Browsing YouTube with Safari is very annoying. I hope you find a solution to these problems soon. Since I deal with CDN and Linux servers, the web is very important to me and I like the safari web tool part, but it is not an immersive view. It gives the impression that I shouldn't have opened it. I hope a new design language will be added to this design. Other than that, using safari is nice and I love how minimalist it is. Thank you, I wish you good work.

Hey Developers! I love web design and am trying to test out some CSS, I am currently using a MacBook Pro 13" (2020 Version), I only use Safari and I want to know if I'm able to simulate other devices like a Windows 10 PC, an Android phone, an iPhone, or an iPad. I do own an iPhone and iPad but wanted to do it all on my Mac, I've tried searching for Safari extensions to do this but so far I haven't found one. If you could give me some suggestions or a link to what I should use it would be appreciated. Thanks, Mateo

The end user experiences error "Failed to load resource: the network connection was lost" when using safari browser via reverse proxy only(Azure Front door). Using google chrome, or accessing the resource directly, the user does not see the error. After taking a packet capture and HTTP Archive traces, we were able to determine that the safari browser is completely blocking the traffic from being sent over the network.
