Apple Safari Browser Technical Preview 149 Released: Compatible with macOS 13 Ventura Devices

Apple today released Update 149 to Safari Technology Preview, an experimental browser that Apple first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed Safari Technology Preview to test features that may be introduced into future versions of Safari.

Safari Technology Preview Release 149 includes features for Web Inspector, Media, CSS, CSS Container Queries, Rendering, JavaScript, Screen Sharing, Web Animations, WebAuthn, Navigation Preload, Web API and security bug fixes and performance improvements.

The current version of Safari Technology Preview is built on the Safari 16 update and includes support for features in macOS 13 Ventura, such as live text, passkeys, Web extension improvements, and more.

Unlike previous versions of Safari Technology Preview, the new version of Safari Technology Preview is compatible with devices running macOS 13 Ventura, but it no longer works with macOS Big Sur.

Anyone who has downloaded the browser can get the Safari Technology Preview update through the Software Update mechanism in System Settings.

The Safari Technology Preview, which runs side-by-side with the existing Safari browser, is designed for developers, but it does not require a developer account to use.
