I have noticed that tabs.onRemoved works differently in Safari 18 comparing to other browsers and Safari 17. Open a tab e.g. apple.com Take note of the active tab id using this code: browser.tabs.query({currentWindow: true, active: true}, (x) => console.log(x[0].id)) Add a listener on onRemoved: browser.tabs.onRemoved.addListener(console.log) on the active tab, navigate to e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org Take note of the active tab id again (using the same tabs.query). Expect: there should be no console.log of onRemoved. the active tab id stays the same. Actual: there is a console.log of onRemoved. the active tab id is changed. Please help. If this is a bug introduced in Safari 18, it would break a lot of JS Web extensions.

I have a homepage with an iframe containing my app LocalStorage, but when opening my app page the LocalStorage is lost. structuration of the page: homepage : domain.com iframe and app : app.domain.com the localstorage is set up directly within the iframe and postmessage between iframe and parent works. We see in the parent page that the LocalStorage for the sub-domain is set but opening the sub-domain on a new window it disappears : The problem is detected On Safari 18 only.

I have a hybrid mobile app which loads web server screens in its iframe(which is under the WKWebView); an https request is initiated from the mobile app to the web server which returns the html page to be loaded in the iframe. The calls which are initiated from outside the iframe have cookies maintained in their requests, while the ones initiated from inside the iframe(web server page) loose the cookies and do not inherit them in IOS beta 18 while It worked fine in the previous IOS versions. Anybody has infos about this or similar cases?

We are using declarativeNetRequest.getMatchedRules() to get the matched rules' URLs. When user switches website in the same tab, it returns URLs which were blocked in the previous website also, within past 5 minutes. Is it possible to fetch getMatchedRules() only for current webpage in the same tab?
