Safari finally support 8K video on Mac
it is pretty recently I might be already been add in safari 26.4 but I'm seing for the first time safari 26.5 .
you no more need to use chrome spyware garbage to have 8k feature car video usually feel very garbage on YouTube 8k fix that
EDIT:
YouTube/Twitch/etc usually allocate noticeably better encodes to higher-res streams. So even on a 1080p monitor, the 4K/8K version often looks cleaner because you’re getting less compression, less banding, and fewer artifacts after downscaling.
ONLY FOR M3 or newer because it use AV1 only supported on M3 or higher you can theoretically run on older Mac but through the cpu you will overheat slow the Mac down and shitty battery life , apple doesn't want user to lose battery life so you will never have 8K safari the only way is chrome and when you will turn it on it will overheat like hell
4K is H265 which all apple silicon Mac supports it is good and hardware accelerated very efficient and cool
