MacOS's Safari use a lot of cpu on some js web page using requestAnimationFrame then chrome
It's being a very long time that I discovery that in some web pages, that use function requestAnimationFrame will cause a lot of cpu, but very little in Chrome. I have already submitted this bug nearly two years ago without printout requestAnimationFrame, no one replied. I submitted again and mention requestAnimationFrame recently, hope there will be some response. If anyone interested in this issue and know some tech in javascript please help. You can enter https://www.baidu.com/ and click one of the topic in all the 百度热搜 which have 弹幕滚动(using requestAnimationFrame, and cause a lot of cpu usage) on right.

How to confidently select one type of camera on iOS
We have a web application that uses high resolution images to validate the authenticity of products. For this purpose we want to use the best camera to make the high resolution camera, on iPhone Pro devices this camera is the ultra-wide angle camera. The issue we have is how to confidently select that camera from the list returned by navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices. We can't use the device ID as it change every time (and for every user), we could use the camera name but the string is translate to the device language which is very problematic. We could also just select a specific item in the list but we are not sure that the order is preserved and it makes it hard to deal with other iPhone models that don't have that ultra wide angle camera. Selecting a specific camera looks like an essential feature not only for us. What is the best option, we are looking for something that is future proof and easily scalable.

Web application using Rafael JS crashes on Safari and Chrome after updating to iOS 18.2
After updating my phone to iOS 18.2 2 days ago, I noticed that a website I'm working on that uses Rafael JS(https://dmitrybaranovskiy.github.io/raphael) to do some svg rendering which used to work before I updated just stopped working. I notice that Safari tries to load website tries to load 2 or 3 times before showing the error: A problem repeatedly occurred on <website> which I find really odd since this used to work before and I haven't made any changes to the code. This also happens in Chrome on iOS 18.2.

XSRF-TOKEN can not be set in Safari 17.0 over IPv6
Hi, When we using Safari on MacOS with IPv6 we found that the XSRF-TOKEN can be set into the cookies. We have set-cookie in the authentication response headers 'Set-Cookie: XSRF-TOKEN=*******; SameSite=Strict; Secure'. It works by using Safari with IPv4. And also works with Chrome/FireFox with IPv4/IPv6. And also worked with Safari 15.6.1 over IPv6. May I know if this an issue or by design? Anyone aware of this? Thanks.

Can't get forum notifications to work in Safari
Every time I visit these forums, a banner is displayed at the top asking me to opt-in to notifications. I click "opt-in," the banner disappears, and no notifications are sent. If I visit my forum profile, it says my browser isn't allowing notifications: If I look in Settings-&gt;Websites, in the list of "These websites have asked for permission to show alerts in Notification Center," there are no apple.com websites whatsoever, including developer.apple.com. "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" is checked, and I have many other websites in that list. I consider this to be a bug in Safari, but maybe it’s an issue with the forum itself (although I doubt it). I've submitted a Radar for it, but haven't heard anything back (I never do). EDIT: I realize I should've put this in another category, but it won't let me change that now.

How does the Reddit app detect Safari’s Private Browsing mode when opening a Universal Link?
I’m trying to understand how the Reddit app knows to open in its anonymous mode when a link is opened from Safari’s Private Browsing mode. Does Safari explicitly pass any flag or metadata indicating the request originated from Private Browsing? Or is it inferred by the absence of shared cookies, session tokens, or other stateful data? If the detection is based on the absence of cookies, could this logic misidentify other stateless scenarios as ‘private’?

Fullscreen API web standard is unacceptably missing on iPhone
It is outrageous that Apple continue to fail to implement the Fullscreen API web standard for web apps on iPhone only, which is so important to accessibility and web app functionality. The only possible reason for this block is commercial: to promote iOS apps instead of browser based web apps. To quote a client from a major agency just now - a typical enquiry : We value accessibility greatly, and we noticed that the embedded player is missing a full screen button on iPhone. Everything else works perfectly fine, including a full screen button that appears on the mobile webpage on android devices. Is there any way we can include a button to enable full screen view for our viewers in your player that are going to watch it on iOS devices? To which, as usual, we have to reply: Apple unfortunately block fullscreen mode from being used with all web applications on iPhone. Apple will allow this to be displayed fullscreen on MacBooks and iPads, but currently not on on iPhone - so we have to hide the fullscreen button there. So fullscreen works on all devices and browsers apart from on iPhone. As you've seen with Android, all other devices and browsers follow the universal 'Fullscreen API' web standard to allow full screen. You're probably familiar with seeing the fullscreen button on normal linear videos on iPhone. These use Apple's native video player, which doesn't let buttons and scripts be used on top of it - just a single video, not an interactive web application. Our player looks like a video player but it is actually a web app combining multiple different video clips connected together by code and styling. They block it on iPhones for reasons known only to them, but the assumption is that it is to incentivise people to make iOS apps instead of web apps. The web development community is hopeful that Apple will change this unfortunate restriction soon, but we have been waiting a long time in vain. We have to send this to a lot of people. It's a very bad look for Apple. In less than a month it will be 2025. We have been waiting years for this. The web standard documentation showing universal support on other devices and browsers is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fullscreen_API This is not acceptable. It is time for Apple to stop blocking this important accessibility web standard for commercial reasons - only on iPhone. To whoever is in charge of these decisions in the Safari/Webkit team: Please just enable Fullscreen API for web apps on iPhone as soon as possible.

How to Remove an Old Email-Associated Passkey from Apple Servers?
I noticed that when logging in to idmsa.apple.com, my old email address still appears as an option, even though I’ve updated my Apple ID to a new email. I understand that passkeys rely on a public-private key pair, with the public key stored on the server (e.g., idmsa.apple.com) and the private key saved locally in iCloud Keychain. Could you please clarify: 1. How can I request Apple to delete the public key associated with my old email address from their servers? 2. Is there a way for users to manage or update server-side passkeys without contacting Apple support? 3. Does this behavior affect my account security in any way? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Css fieldset/legend with flex and float bug
When I want legend inside the filedset, not on the border as default browsers design, I set float: left to the legend. It works in every modern browser - Safari too. The problem is when the filedset itself is set to display: flex. Float propertie of the legend is ignored. In other browsers this approach works fine and the float stays and the legend is inside of the fieldset as we expect.

Safari goes into an infinite loading loop if it cannot load the webpage
I have a Safari extension which allows the user to load their own homepage upon opening a new tab. The extension works by retrieving the homepage URL from UserDefaults and then redirecting to it using window.location.replace. In iOS 18, if the homepage is unable to be loaded due to, for example the user having no internet connection, Safari will go into an rapid loading loop, which eventually stops after a while. This is unlike iOS 17, where trying to reproduce the same scenario will end up with a Safari error page, which should be the expected behaviour. In short, instead of Safari going into an infinite loading loop, it should display a Safari error page like iOS 17 does. As this issue is only happening on iOS 18, I am almost certain it's an iOS bug and would appreciate if this can be fixed as soon as possible. I have created a Feedback Assistant report with ID FB15853821, which contains a sysdiagnose file from my iPhone 16 Pro, as well as two videos, one from my iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.2 beta 3 and the other video showing a comparison between iOS 18 and 17. Both videos first show the extension functioning correctly with an active internet connection, but when I disable my internet, the iOS 18 Safari goes into an infinite loop. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue: Download the Homepage for Safari app from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/homepage-for-safari/id6481118559 Enter any valid homepage URL, such as https://apple.com and tap Save Go to Settings -> Apps -> Safari -> Extensions -> Homepage and enable the extension Make sure Open New Tabs is set to “Homepage” Turn off both WiFi and cellular data and attempt to open a new tab in Safari Please note that this also happens with iOS 18.2 beta 4.

Various Safari issues/bugs in iOS 18.2 Beta (iPhone 15Pro)
A few observations Very slow response and loading times for both URLs, forms, and scrolling Frequently non-responsive touch-screen for on-page forms and actions Keyboard stays open with no option to get rid of it Auto zoom stuck in xoomed-in mode, often hiding "Save"/"Submit"-buttons Dowbload folder setting ignored Toggling of web inspector mode does not work In vertical mode, with address bar on top of screen, clicking items on bottom part of page is not registered as click, but makes the navigation bar pop up, hiding the clickable feature. For clicks to register, frequently 2-3 touches are required.

Safari ios 18.2 download problems
iPhone 15pro iOS 18.2 Downloaded files cannot be located anywhere in Files, only by accessing Downloads in Safari. I have tried setting download folder to various locations, iCloud, Phone, Google Disk, but nothing is stored. Has an invisible cache or temp folder been introduced? If so, it is a total fail: When press-holding any file in Safari download, the normal file action options (Quick Look, share, store to Files, etc) are not available. When clicking any file it opens any of several apps that has this file type associated with it, and there is no way to change the default app or disable the forced opening of an app. I tried deleting the app opening .csv (in this case OneDrive), and another irrelevant app opened. There seems to be a hierarchy of apps-file types, and it has no logic to it. Tips?

Safari Web Extensions: browser.webNavigation.getAllFrames by tabId return empty string url, when url is in blob protocol
Hello. Environment Safari version 18.1 (22B81). Problem In my Safari Web Extension i need to determine the url of the active tab. I do it this way: const onError = (error) => { console.error(error); }; const getFrameUrl = async (frames) => { console.info(frames) }; const getAllFrames = (frames) => { browser.webNavigation.getAllFrames({ tabId: frames[0].id }).then(getFrameUrl, onError); }; browser.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(() => { browser.tabs.query({ currentWindow: true, active: true }).then(getAllFrames, onError); }); The problem is that if the tab url is a link in the blob protocol, then the result function browser.webNavigation.getAllFrames({ tabId: tabs[0].id }) is as follows: {frameId: 0, parentFrameId: -1, url: "", errorOccurred: false} In Safari version 17 the correct URL value was returned: {frameId: 0, parentFrameId: -1, url: "blob://<some id>", errorOccurred: false} How can I fix the problem? Environment Safari version 18.1 (22B81).

Safari 18 DNR redirect regex validation issue
Starting Safari 18, Declarative Net Request redirections are no longer working (it used to be working on Safari 17). It seems to be related to the regex validation that is not working as expected. Here is an example of our DNR rule: { priority: 1, action: { type: 'redirect', redirect: { regexSubstitution: `${scheme}//${extensionHost}/index.html\\1#/\\2`, }, }, condition: { // app.dashlane.com, *.app.dashlane.com regexFilter: '^https?://w*\\.?app\\.dashlane\\.com(\\??[^/#]*)[^#]*#?/?(.*)$', resourceTypes: [ 'main_frame' ], }, } Is it a known issue ? Also, it seems to be related to this existing issue: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/763505

Is the Apple aware that Safari does not follow the Gamepad API spec?
The specification states that the timestamp property is a DOMHighResTimeStamp which always represents a value in milliseconds. However, in my testing (on iOS as I don't have a mac) the timestamp is given as seconds. This could break compatibility if an app/library is not tested in Safari. Worse is that the deviation seems to be undocumented as every compatibility chart states full compatibility and defines the property as milliseconds. Any workaround would also be up to one frame incorrect. So a stutter can affect input accuracy. I know this might seem small but it could mean that an app or game is unplayable in Safari if it relies on this for input.
