Apple on Wednesday released Safari Technology Preview 27 for the Mac, the latest update to their experimental web browser. The browser, which first debuted in March 2016, is designed to allow developers and advanced users to test features that may debut in future public release versions of Safari.
Safari Technology Preview release 27 includes fixes and improvements for JavaScript, Web API, Rendering, CSS, Web Inspector, Media, Accessibility, WebCrypto, and more. Browser changes include a new “Reload Page From Origin” option, which reloads a page without using cached resources, and the removal of the Disable Caches option from the Develop menu. Equivalent functionality is available using the Web Inspector’s Network tab.
While the preview is intended for use by developers and advanced users, in order to provide Apple with feedback on the development of the Safari browser, it can be run side-by-side with the release version of Safari. The app doesn’t require a developer account to download and install. For more information, visit the Safari Tech Preview website.
