Apple on Thursday released Safari Technology Preview 141, the latest version of their developer preview web browser. The preview version of Apple’s popular browser offers developers and other interested users the ability to try out features that may or may not, debut in future public release versions of Safari.
Safari Technology Preview release 141 includes bug fixes and performance improvements for Web Inspector, CSS, Forms, JavaScript, Experimental Model Element, Payment Request, Web Animations, Web API, WebAuthn, and Content Security Policy.
Safari Technology Preview release 141 is built on the new Safari 15.4 update included in macOS Monterey, and as such, it includes several Safari 15 features.
The preview is available for both macOS Monterey and macOS Big Sur.
