macOS Big Sur didn’t launch alongside iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, and watchOS 7 today, with the update coming later this fall, but Apple did release the Safari 14 update for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave users.
Safari 14 brings improved performance, customizable start pages, a Privacy Report to see which cross-site trackers are being blocked, and a new tab bar design that provides tab previews so you can see what you have open at a glance. Today’s update also removes Adobe Flash. Apple’s release notes for Safari 14 are below:
Safari 14.0 introduces new features, even faster performance, and improved security.
– New tab bar design shows more tabs on screen and displays favicons by default
– Customizable start page allows you to set a background image and add new sections
– Privacy Report shows cross-site trackers that are being blocked by Intelligent Tracking Prevention
– Removes support for Adobe Flash for improved security
Some features may not be available for all regions, or on all Apple devices.
