Running Safare macOS OS 26.2. Reddit is a disaster, the links are offset and posts don't load, and wrong posts load. It is a cluster f**k. I'm paused all extensions and ad blockers, deleted data and keeps happening. Any ideas why and how to fix it?
I’ve been stuck on this page for weeks whenever I try to use safari. it won’t let me press the “+” button and clicking blue checkmark does nothing
What do I do? This randomly happened one day while browsing
In my favorite bookmarks and open tabs the site icons are constantly not showing, they come back for some but eventually others disappear and its just a cycle of losing/gaining site icons.
What made me inquire is that today I randomly lost the YouTube icon which is now a big "Y" and the Google Docs icon which is simply blank.
The icons will come back in maybe a week or two, as I said this is the cycle.
why is this?
I discovered that builds using Tauri were undetected by screentime so i built an open sourced browser with unlimited internet access (bypasses screentime on mac)
Hi everyone,
I’m having a weird issue on my iPhone where images on websites are being cropped/cut off instead of being displayed in their entirety.
For example, the manga page is cut off on the sides rather than showing the complete image.
The issue happens in both Safari and Chrome on both mobile and desktop websites, and it happens across multiple websites, so it doesn’t seem to be specific to one browser or website.
Things I’ve tried:
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there an iPhone setting, display/zoom setting, or accessibility setting that could be causing this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
p.s. The screenshot is showing full image
I just lost ~940 Safari tabs on my iPhone , Please tell me there’s a way to recover them
I honestly don’t even know where to start. I had around 450 normal Safari tabs and another ~490 Private tabs that I’ve accumulated over a long time.
I did NOT accidentally close all my tabs. I restarted my iPhone and my storage is extremely low, and when I opened Safari again, almost everything was gone. I only have 2 normal tabs showing now.
I haven’t cleared Safari history or website data, and I’m scared to do anything else in case I make recovery impossible.
Has anyone had this happen because of low iPhone storage? Is there ANY way to get the tabs back? Please help me out
I have tried adblock plus. adguard and ublock lite but none of them seem to work. I even have them all 3 enabled at once right now. I also enabled the verify user click gesture to stop popup windows in my settings. Nothing seems to work. Obviously this mostly happens on these 'sketchy' websites when streaming a tv show or reading a comic book etc. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? It only happens on iphone/ipad
Me and my wife are going to Tanzania and Zanzibar for our honeymoon this October. 9 days, two of us, flying in from the Middle East. Neither of us has done a safari before, so this is all new to us.
We got a quote from a local operator and before I pay the deposit I wanted to hear from people who have actually done this trip.
Price is €3,125 per person, so about €6,250 (~$7,200) for the two of us (International Flights Excluded)
Included: private 4x4 with our own driver-guide, all lodges and hotels (nothing fancy, mid-range), meals as listed below, all park fees and the crater descent fee, and the internal flight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar.
Not included: international flights, visa, the mandatory Zanzibar insurance, travel insurance, tips. With all of that plus our flights we’re looking at around $10,000 total.
Here's the plan:
Mainland
Day 1 – Land at Kilimanjaro, drive to Simba Farm Lodge in West Kilimanjaro. Full board.
Day 2 – Drive back toward Arusha, visit Serval Wildlife Sanctuary where you can feed giraffes. Overnight at Kutoka Lodge, Arusha. Full board.
Day 3 – Full day game drive in Tarangire. Overnight Tarangire Simba Lodge, on the edge of the park. Full board.
Day 4 – Drive to Ngorongoro and go down into the crater. Overnight Ngorongoro Safari Lodge, on the western side of the conservation area. Full board.
Day 5 – Drive to central Serengeti with game viewing on the way. Overnight Tukaone Mwalomi Camp, inside the park near Seronera. Full board.
Zanzibar
Day 6 – Morning game drive, then fly from Seronera airstrip to Zanzibar at 11:30. Overnight Seyyida Hotel, Stone Town. Bed and breakfast.
Day 7 – Morning in Stone Town, then transfer to Nungwi. Overnight The Zanzibari, Nungwi. Bed and breakfast.
Day 8 – Beach day at The Zanzibari, nothing planned. Bed and breakfast.
Day 9 – Fly home from Zanzibar.
Has anyone stayed at any of these? Especially interested in whether the Serengeti camp and the Nungwi hotel are worth what we’re paying.
They also gave us a cost breakdown: 42% transport, 33% accommodation and meals, 14% park fees, 6% concession fees, 4% activities, 1% misc.
One thing I should say about what we’re actually after. It’s our honeymoon, so we don’t want to come home more tired than we left.
We do want to see things properly and we’re excited for the safari part, but we’re not trying to cram every hour. Some good game drives, a bit of culture, and then real time to relax, especially in Zanzibar. We’d rather do fewer things well than run around ticking boxes.
So what I’m asking:
* Is this a fair price for October?
* Is the itinerary put together sensibly, or would you move things around?
* Does the balance between the safari side and the Zanzibar side feel right for what we want, or are we going to be worn out by the time we hit the beach?
Also curious about Zanzibar specifically since I’ve read less about it. Is one night in Stone Town and two on the beach a good split, or should it be different? And is the north coast the right area for a couple, or would you go somewhere else on the island?
Appreciate any honest opinions, even if the answer is that we got it wrong.
Hi all,
I need some advice because I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
Although I'm using Wipr 2 (up to date), YouTube videos usually have a quite long delay between when the video should start and when it actually starts (around 5 seconds, sometimes more, sometimes less). The loading circle just keeps spinning.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal? I know YouTube is fighting against all ad blockers, but for example, uBlock Origin on my Windows PC works quite well.
Hello dear Redditors,
Last year, I got frustrated by a small but persistent Safari design gap: Safari gives you no visual clue whether the page you're currently viewing is already bookmarked. As a result, I kept double- and triple-bookmarking the same pages. Unlike Chrome or Firefox, Safari lacks a simple "star" icon that lights up when a page is in your bookmarks.
So I built Bookmarks Star for Safari, released it on the Mac App Store, and the community response was awesome.
Bookmarks Star for Safari is a simple, privacy-focused extension that adds a star icon to your toolbar that lights up whenever you visit a saved page. Clicking the star shows you exactly which folder the bookmark lives in, and it can even generate a full bookmark report on demand.
Over the past month, I spent some time building a major update (v2.0) based directly on user feedback:
- Richer Popup Details & "Similar Bookmarks": Clicking the star now displays the bookmark’s exact title, address, and folder path. Plus, if the current page isn't bookmarked but a related page is (e.g., following a redirect or a similar page), the popup will suggest similar saved links.
- Significantly Less Intrusive Permissions: I overhauled the underlying architecture to eliminate content scripts for URL matching. Safari no longer displays the alarming *"can read and alter webpages, including passwords..."*prompt. Instead, it now accurately reflects its minimal scope with "can see your browsing history."
- Smarter Dynamic URL Matching: The extension now reliably recognizes bookmarked pages even when they contain dynamic session IDs, tracking parameters, or changing URL tags.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you might have. I'll be hanging out in the comments to answer questions!
Best,
Ozgur
I am seriously considering trying Safari, i really love the new features and the liquid glass design. has anyone ever tried (recently) to set up Safari like Arc? and if so, how?
Whenever I use Google as the default search engine in Safari, search queries result in an infinite loading screen, although the issue does not occur with other search engines or in alternative web browsers.
I am experiencing a very specific issue with my Safari browser on my Apple device.
When I have Google set as the default search engine, attempting to perform a search results in the page getting stuck on a loading screen, with no results ever appearing.
Interestingly, if I switch the search engine to Yahoo or another provider, the search functions work perfectly.
Google works without any issues when accessed on other browsers.
Has anyone encountered this before, or does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this Safari-specific problem?
I will resize my window, and no matter what I do, it will go right back to taking up the whole screen. This isn't 'full screen' but from edge to edge. Every time I launch a new window, but sometimes when I click back into the window that is already open, it just goes to the larger size.
It did not used to do this, so I am not sure if there is some kind of bug or if this is expected behavior.
How do I troubleshoot this? I typically like to have my phone mirroring up and have Safari running reddit/YouTube/whatever I am doing. But this is causing me to resize the window a ton every time I go into another window and open Safari again.
I love the apple ecosystem. But Safari has always been hard to love.
I used Arc browser for a long time, then Brave and then Dia.
During my last try, I couldn't use Safari on my macbook due to the following errors:
- facebook messenger wouldn't send my messages
- "drag&drop" didn't work in Hubspot form generator
- Google Sheets crashed if I left the tab idle for 1 minute
But in the current Safari technology preview version, these errors no longer occur!
I've been using it for 2 weeks now and it remains my primary browser for now.
Safari focuses almost entirely on WebKit quality. Scroll rendering, native customizable dropdowns, and hundreds of long-standing compatibility bugs.
I recommend that anyone using the Apple ecosystem give it another try now.

Why doesn’t safari allow you to turn off images?
Everyone always says Safari is the best, so I believed it and moved about half my workflow from Brave to Safari. After using it for a while, I’m starting to regret it.
The main issue is that I can’t easily see which websites are taking up space or view/cache data the way I could in Brave. I have no clear idea what’s storing what, and Safari feels bloated now.
Is there any way to inspect and clean this up properly or is Safari just better for normal use only?
For the past week or two (I think since the 26.6 update) on some webpages the “submit” buttons on the bottom of a page are not clickable. This is causing me a huge issue as I am trying to fill out medical information and make appointments on several different sites. I can fill out all the requested information, but then down at the bottom the enter or submit button will be grayed out like it’s already been clicked. I am so frustrated!
Every month or so my safari app goes up to around 6-8gb of storage use. I clear the cache which takes it down a bit. Ive also tried turning off iCloud sync for safari which got it further down, but it always comes back after a while. How do i clear it fully and prevent it from going vack up to 7gb of storage use??
May be I am ocd here but does anyone have a good suggestion to highlight and differentiate the active tab vs inactive ones? I am on Tahoe if that makes any difference.
