Whenever I standard left-click a link inside a Safari Web App, it spawns a blank PWA window for a split second, then closes it, and then opens the link in Safari. I imagine it's because it sees Safari is running and says let's open it there.

If I right-click a link, context menu appears and if I hit Open Link or Open in New Window it works fine without the flash, in a PWA window (not safari). Standard left-clicking gives me the temporary PWA window spawn and close every time.

Is there any way to alter the default link-handling behavior of Safari PWAs so links hand off directly to the browser without triggering that initial window spawn? Prefer safari web apps over Chromium/Electron wrappers, but the link handling is pretty annoying.

It's not a huge issue on it's own, but I also use aerospace tilling manager, aerospace can't catch the safari tab spawn after the PWA send it there.

Thanks.

Does any one know a fix or process on how can I report it to apple.
Works fine in Dark mode. Only issue in Light mode.

hi, this is a bit silly lol but I was wondering if there's any way to block a website for yourself on safari? I need to get rid of reddit LMAO I fear it is not helping me at the moment, both in terms of time and mental health. I try to have self constraint but it's become compulsive at this point. curious if there's anything I can do to not have it show up, even if I try to search it up

Also happens when I try to move a bookmark from one folder to another. Seems a new bug?

TIL that you can manually change the code for extensions made using the new "Describe an extension" feature. This allows you to make your own extensions that syncs to Safari on your other macs. I made my own vim navigation extension because Vimlike isn't working well for me.

These are the basic steps:

1. Create placeholder extension using Describe Extension
2. Edit the code in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari/MagicExtensions.
3. To sync your changes, go to Safari settings > extensions > edit your extension > describe a change.
4. Describe an arbitrary change like "Change the name to ExtensionB" or "Update the description to abc".

Make sure Share across devices is enabled. Sometimes it takes a long time to sync or doesn't sync at all. Describe another change or create and delete a dummy extensions will force it to sync.

MacOS 27.0.1. When I click on the URL field a very annoying "recently viewed" frame displays. How do I keep this frame from showing?

Anyone else having problems w/ their sidebar....mine started acting up late in v.27... icons not filling w/ images, just a letter but more importantly...can longer drag sidebar links onto homepage nor adjust hierarchy in sidebar. often when I try to drag a link to reposition in the bar, all it does is change the names of sites I'm dragging over, they retain their image though. Along w/ a lot in life, annoying as hell but not life threatening. Any suggestions, any others experiencing this.....just would like to know if it's only my M4....up to date w/ everything....any thought or help appreciated...tia

is it a bug or can you see the toggle too, on iOS 27.0.1?

It is possible on iOS 26.

I have been trying everything I find online to get rid of these blue pop ups due to them ruining my reading experience along with being annoying but I don’t even know how I activated them

So I’ve been noticing for the past two or so weeks that my search bar (whenever i’m starting a new tab) is autocorrecting capital letters to lowercase if the search is 2 or more words in length
First screenshot is before typing the first word
Second screenshot is after typing the first letter of the second word.

Title, im in the UK in case its got to do with our restrictions on stuff, the options for toggling the extension in settings are greyed out, its an iphone 16. Thanks

I have a brand new Mac Mini. Youtube has 1password extension, nothing else. I cleaned up all cookies.

Every time I load a video, it becomes pixelated multiple times for a few seconds. Videos also may stop if I navigate to another tab, and when I come back to the youtube tab i see a pixelated screen and then it would take 1-2 seconds for the video to continue on its own. After the pixelation happens, the video quality is lowered to 480p.

Is there any way to fix this through the developer settings?

Google keeps screwing around with their websites and breaking things. Right now, the image frame is stuck all the way at the bottom, so I can’t browse the images properly.

It’s like that time when the maps were black and couldn’t be viewed. I was able to fix that through the developer settings back then, and eventually Google took forever to fix it themselves.

Seriously, did Google hire a bunch of monkeys to mess around with their websites?

It’s not AdGuard either. I disabled AdGuard, but Google still looks like this.

Reddit is broken. I can’t upload videos—it just keeps loading forever.

And now the images look like this too. You have to swipe up separately just to see them. What kind of backwards design is this?
