I use Safari but I would prefer it wasn’t shipped on the same schedule as the OS. I understand why (I think) but I’d rather have more frequent updates, even if only every 3 months or so.
That’s a problem with most Apple apps. Bug in Mail? Better hope it gets fixed in the next iOS or MacOS point release. Because the fix isn’t coming out earlier.
- tambourine_man 4y agoYeah, but I think Mail is in a different league. A browser is so fundamental to modern computing that if you can't run the latest version, you might as well have a paper weight. You can run mail, office, games, all in the browser if the native alternatives fail you. Chrome still supporting High Sierra is what makes old Macs usable.
- threeseed 4y agoSafari Developer Preview is stable and available out of sync with the OS. It does make sense that it is shipped with the OS since Safari is just a wrapper around the OS WebKit library which is used across many apps and services.
- tambourine_man 4y agoSafari Developer Preview requires the latest versions of the OS, so it's not of much use. The WebKit library should be always stable. In that case, I don't see a problem with other apps relying upon it.
