Apple today released Safari 15 for macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina devices, which includes support for features that will appear in the macOS Monterey update that will be released later this year. Safari 15 introduces a new look for Safari, with round, clearer tabs and support for transparency, a compact tab bar option that can be switched on or off, and tab groups. Apple’s description of this update is as follows.
Safari 15 provides faster performance, better security, and the following new features:
- Tag groups help you save and organize your tags and easily access them on different devices.
- The redesigned label has a rounder and clearer appearance and will adapt to the color of the webpage
- Compact tab bar option to display more web content on the screen
- After the HTTPS upgrade, the website will be automatically switched from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS.
Safari 15 can be downloaded by opening the system preferences interface and selecting the software update option. There is no news on when macOS Monterey will be released, but it may appear with the new Mac in October, as Apple is expected to hold a Mac-focused event this fall, launching the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro for the first time model.
