While I'd love to use this app, there's no way to transfer your current Safari config — including extensions and the last browser session — to the Tech Preview. Copying the files doesn't work.
- orik 11y agomost of my settings came over through iCloud - I don't think last browser session or extensions are very important for them to support pulling across.
- lobster_johnson 11y agoI have about 10 windows with umpteen tabs open. I do not want to go through the process of replicating that. Same with extensions.
- glhaynes 11y agoThat makes me wonder whether Safari extensions can access iCloud Tabs. If so, it'd really come in handy to be able to do things like "move all these tabs from this device to this device". I accumulate tons of tabs on my mobile devices that I'd like to move to my Mac (or vice-versa, depending on circumstance) so I could just crank through them all at once. [Edit: A brief look makes it appear that native OS X apps can, not sure about Safari extensions. But a native app could be sufficient.]
- mikhailt 11y agoThat's actually intentional, this is not supposed to carry over the current Safari configuration. If you want that, you might as well keep using WebKit Nightly, which reuses your Safari stuff.
- lobster_johnson 11y agoSorry to be obstinate, but then I'm not going to use it. Too much hassle. If it turns out that the Tech Preview is too buggy, I can't easily migrate back.
