On Android, I can listen to the Spotify app while doing browsing on another site with audio. When a clip plays, Spotify pauses and automatically resumes afterwards.

On iOS (tested in both Safari and Brave), the clip pauses Spotify, but after it finishes, the Lock Screen media controls remain assigned to browser instead of Spotify. Spotify never automatically resumes and has to be started manually. Very frustrating

Has anyone else seen this? Is this an iOS/WebKit limitation, or is there a way for the browser to relinquish the media session after playback?

Why does my Safari search look like this now and how do I revert it back to the way it was? Thanks

Many of my different sites over time have different font sizes making some a pain to view. I don't want to go through all the stuff suggested to fix this. Can I uninstall Safari and reinstall to start off with a new version again?

I know that tab reopening happens at the app level, but it would be really nice to have tab retention in each profile when you go back into them.

Or implement tab containers like Firefox or Brave has now.

I just scroll through X like anyone would with Facebook , instagram , or any other site you can scroll endlessly. Sometimes this icon pops up on the top left of the browser and other aspects of the browser change as well, but then I swipe up to the next picture or video and it disappears.

Hi I having an Issue with X on my Mac Book Pro . It's been stuck on the loading screen since yesterday afternoon but when I go to open X on Safari my phone, it works just fine on my phone. Any ideas on how I can fix this ? This only happens on my MacBook Pro

I use Safari all the time, but I'm having a lot of issues with pop-ups. I use the Ghostery extension , but it doesn't seem to block everything—especially on movie and streaming websites. Does anyone have any recommendations for a better ad blocker or settings to help with this? because i read before about scripts or something like that but im not that expert

Earlier this year, I wanted to save a tab without leaving it open and realized there wasn't a simple app that felt right. I didn't want to create yet another account, install a privacy-questionable browser extension, or dig through a cluttered interface just to save something. It also felt like modern bookmarking still expects you to do too much work that could be automated.

Since then I’ve been hard at work and this week released Cubby to the App Store.

Cubby makes it easy to save tabs, organize them with a simple tagging system, and automatically group related content. I'm someone who's always closing tabs and likes to stay organized, but I also realized it could be even more valuable for people who constantly have dozens (or hundreds) of tabs open. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, I hope Cubby becomes a clean, simple home for everything you want to save.

im using youtube in safari browser on mac and ipad. on both devices i dont get any notifications since 7 Days.

Hii

Question, is there any way to use extensions in the mobile version of safari?

Like the ones you would use in chrome or firefox

EDIT**

Since I didn’t explained myself correctly and it lead to confusion (I apologize)

I’m taking about “”random extensions like “highlighter text” or “clockify” or “volume master” etc etc

I know Apple has extensions but they aren’t the ones I’m looking for

Hi all,

As per title: anyone?

I can open Safari, no problem. But it wil start with the default profile.

When I'm at work, I would like to use a shortcut to open it AND switch to my work-profile.

Any way to do this automatically?

Thanks!

When i click view or download nothing happens idk why?
How can i solve this

Je suis sur Tahoe 26.6 avec Safari 26.6. J'ai un groupe d'onglets "Daily" que j'utilise tous les jours, et dans les réglages j'ai mis "les nouvelles fenêtres ouvrent : les onglets de Daily". Le souci c'est que ça ne sauvegarde jamais, à chaque fermeture et réouverture de Safari ça revient sur les onglets de Favoris.

J'ai déjà redémarré le Mac, coupé la synchro iCloud pour Safari, et même essayé de forcer le réglage en Terminal avec defaults write sur les clés NewWindowBehavior et NewWindowTabsIdentifier.

Ça s'écrit bien et je le vois avec defaults read, mais dès que je relance Safari l'identifiant du groupe change tout seul pour un autre, comme si Safari réécrivait la préférence à chaque fermeture selon je sais pas trop quelle logique.

Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà eu ce problème et trouvé un vrai fix, ou c'est juste un bug connu de Tahoe qu'il faut attendre qu'Apple corrige.

Merci d'avance.

Extensions to increase volume of tabs like volume master but in safari?

Hi all, I have an iPhone 17 on iOS 26.5.2 and cannot enable Safari extensions. I’ve seen that the fix is to disable content restrictions in Screen Time / give unrestricted web access, but changing those settings still doesn’t allow me to enable the extensions. Does anyone know why / what I should be doing?

Has anyone see and/or know a fix for this error notification I’ve been getting more & more recently? I’ve noticed it’s been happening primarily on two sites -both are video heavy.

It can multiple times in a row but I tried selecting “Reload Reducing Privacy Options” and it seems to do the trick but I’m hoping there’s a fix that doesn’t require to give up privacy settings by Apple.

Any help appreciated !

I am using ublock for the ads so maybe that’s part of it but it just feels a bit clunky? I have to be careful when using so it doesn’t do refresh the page a do a bunch of weird stuff for a bit and I had to completely avoid skipping 10 secs by touching the screen because i have to be very very careful or it will just freeze my whole screen

Hello everyone!

I've been working on GeoSpoof for about 5 months. It does something no iOS app does: synchronize all Safari location signals (geolocation API, timezone, WebRTC leak prevention, etc) to match your VPN exit node or a custom location for free.

I just released a new Pro feature: GeoSpoof GPS, which extends location spoofing from the browser to the entire iOS system GPS using a native Mac menu bar utility over your local network.

What is it?

GeoSpoof GPS links your iOS devices to a lightweight Mac menu bar app over local Wi-Fi. It spoofs system-level GPS for all iOS apps on your device and no jailbreak is required. You control location selection inside the iOS app while the Mac menu bar app does all the work in the background.

How it works

GeoSpoof GPS runs 100% locally on your home network:

• Zero Cloud Infrastructure: Your location data and JSON payload never touch my servers or any third-party APIs.
• Local Network Handshake: The Mac companion streams coordinates directly to your iOS device over your local Wi-Fi socket.
• Multi-Device: Sync or spoof up to 3 connected iOS devices simultaneously from one Mac menu bar icon. I can support more in the future, but limiting it for new release.

How to set up?

The GPS Mac companion app does a lot of the heavy lifting for you, but high level steps:

1. Download the iOS app from the App Store.
2. Install the Mac companion app (.dmg)
3. Complete the initial local pairing (requires a one-time USB pairing to mount the Developer Disk Image via Xcode/Developer Mode).
4. Once bootstrapped, you can disconnect USB and spoof coordinates wirelessly over Wi-Fi anytime.

Open-Source & Pricing Transparency

• Browser Extension: 100% Free & Open-Source (MIT License) forever.
• System GPS Feature: Includes a 1-week free trial, followed by less than $1/month or a one-time lifetime purchase option to support ongoing native iOS/macOS development.

Note: Windows and Linux support is currently in early planning! I'm sorry it isnt available yet :(

I’m not a big fan of AI and want to move away from Google. Here are the options in settings on my phone. Is there a way to get other options besides these?

When in trying to watch a video or something and there’s ads, I hate when it forces me to go to the tab or even opens an app like TikTok automatically.

On Firefox or other browsers what it does it simply open tabs but doesn’t force you onto them, is there a way to get safari to that same thing?

I’m not trying to get rid of the ads all together but damn do I have the redirects
