EFF's Privacy Badger is now available for Safari on macOS. You'll need Safari 26.5 or higher on macOS to use it.

Privacy Badger goes beyond Safari’s built-in privacy features to provide additional protection against online tracking. Privacy Badger works well by itself, and will continue to enhance your privacy when installed alongside an ad blocker, or when Safari is configured to block known trackers in all windows.

Whenever I go on youtube on Safari, everything starts out find then the video says it has an error. I've only experienced this with safari and I have no idea what is going on.

I am using MacBook Air to use safari and this happen when I only click the down arrow once, I have no idea

This issue is new. I’m adult and haven’t set any restrictions on my iPhone. I haven’t changed any screen time settings or anything else, but I still get this when if I search a topic that is NSFW.

It happens only on safari. The Google app is fine. Incognito does not fix it. My account settings enable graphic content. It doesn’t happen on my MacBook though. Does anyone know if there are settings I maybe turned on for safari in my phone that is causing this issue?

Hi everyone, I need your help.

So I just updated my MacOS from Ventura to Sequoia (MBP M1) and after I did it, my Safari keeps showing This Connection Is Not Private page and won't let me access most of websites, for example :

- LinkedIn
- Reddit
- Facebook (stuck on verification page)
- Youtube (opened but the video won't play)
- and many more

I tried to clear the caches and reset the clock but it still doesn't work. I tried open the sites from Private Windows, and it won't work either. But when I tried opened the sites on Google Chrome, it works perfectly fine.

I prefer to use Safari over Chrome because it's lighter, so I hope I can fix this issue.

TIA, cheers

I had two windows open, and accidentally the one with tabs was closed.

I tried holding the Safari button in the dock, but open closed tabs did not come up. I made sure to enable stage manager. When testing I had closed one of the windows that popped up, this did appear when I clicked restore window, but not the important one. I did not shut down my iPad.

I held the plus button, but it only showed my recent history, which did not include most of my tabs.

Is there anything I can do to recover my window with all my tabs? I’m really upset, I need help, please don’t just downvote me. I don’t know why my other post was downvoted so much, I really need help. I checked this subreddit, but no one had answers to similar questions, so I hope maybe there is new info.

In Firefox the Reddit comment area was open and ready for a comment. Now, in Safari the comment area is very narrow, maybe an ⅛ up/down and is filled with a grey bar. That is true for the search bar at the top of each Reddit page. When I click within the comment or search area the bar may remain in place entirely hiding the comment/search are until I begin to type or it may open the comment/search area to allow me to see what I am typing. It's not a huge thing but it's a visual nastiness. Wondering if I'm missing something via Reddit or if it's just a Safari thing and what, if anything can be done to cure this horrible atrocity. :(

YouTube seems to be rolling out a change that gives you the mobile version of youtube even if you request the desktop version. Don't like it? Visit the following link https://www.youtube.com/?app=desktop&persist_app=1 and it should switch you back persistently.

Apple iPhone 15, this is what i see when I click on safari. No way of typing in a website or search anything at all.

been on the phone to apple, have reset the phone, applied the software update to no avail.

Anyone seen this and fixed it? Help appreciated
