I use Adguard/wipr to great success. Why's uBlock Origin better? Also, wipr now has filtr, which provides URL filtering at the macOS level, so it's as efficient as it gets.
After being so disappointed by Tahoe and the whole Alan Dye era, it’s great to see Apple getting their mojo back. Golden Gate is shaping up to be a great release.
Does this help stable Safari in any way? I have a WebKit bug I’m tracking that’s fixed in STP but not in stable and it seems like there’s no telling whether it’ll ever land.
It'll land eventually. They always do, though maybe months down the road. But of course Apple won't preannounce its plans, and unfortunately I'm not aware of a way to track WebKit commits in specific Safari releases.
Wonder if they will ever fix upload progress using XHR, pretty annoying to not be able show accurate progress to the user when using larger chunk sizes:
This update fixed some web inspector bugs that I reported, but I can't use it because Safari Technology Preview inexplicably supports fewer macOS versions than Safari itself, i.e., no longer Sequoia.
It’s impressive that pinch-zooming reddit.com in-out-in-out has reliably crashed ios safari for at least a few years already. One would assume Apple gets telemetry from iphone default browser crashes, and reddit seems important enough to warrant a fix
And they recently released the Safari MCP in STP as well.

Looks like the Safari MCP is also now available in the most recent Golden Gate beta part of system Safari:

The team has been on a roll lately with massive fixes & improvements.
Like last months announcement of over 500 fixes.

They finally used some of those trillions to buy one (1) Claude pro subscription.
Since they nixed uBlock Origin Safari has not been a serious web browser to me. No amount of technology can make up for it.
I've been using uBlock Origin Lite on Safari with no issues.

I cannot use a browser that is owned by a company who's financial model is dependent upon browsers being nerfed.
Apple and Google have far too many incentives to wall garden browsers, Apple due to the app store, Google due to advertising.
Independent browsers are the only safe path forward.
What did they nerf

This was fixed but then reverted. No further updates 3 months later. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305622
Not sure how this comment is related to Safari Technology Preview, though, which is Mac-only.
