The iPhone X's new Super Retina display looks pretty stunning. Users have started to note how some websites don't work exceptionally well on the edge-to-edge display because of the notch, and the Home indicator. Apple has now shared some tools for developers that will be coming soon to help them optimize their websites.
Safari on macOS High Sierra has been found to use much less memory than on previous versions of Apple's desktop operating system, according to Kirk McElhearn.
Configure Safari to automatically enable Reader view whenever you visit a specific website on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro, so you can read the article without ads and other distractions.
With less than 24 hours left until Apple's non-spoiler-free September 2017 keynote Tuesday, you may want to make necessary preparations ahead of it in order to ensure you'll be able to stream Apple's most important presentation in years uninterrupted.
MacStories founder and editor-in-chief Federico Viticci has discovered an awesome little new feature in iOS 11's Safari which automatically converts Google's cryptic accelerated mobile pages (AMP) links back to the canonical URLs.
Sometimes people send you links to websites in the Messages app, and while most are legitimate, you might also end up with spammers sending you malicious links.
You can never be too careful with a jailbroken iPhone, and a new free jailbreak tweak called SMSNoLinkOpen by iOS developer CydiaGeek prevents you from launching links via the Messages app with just a tap.
Say hello to macOS High Sierra, Apple's newest operating system update for Macs. Whether you're on an iMac or one of the Touch Bar-outfitted MacBook Pro models, there is a lot to love in this latest release of Apple's desktop operating system.
Some people resort to using proxy servers to maintain internet privacy and to get around website blocks at educational institutions and/or at work. On the other hand, anyone who’s ever used a proxy server knows how cumbersome it can be.
With a new jailbreak tweak called ProxySwitcher by iOS developer mbo42, toggling your favorite proxy server in iOS any time you’re connected to Wi-Fi just got a whole lot easier.
Your web browsing history can say a lot about you, so it’s no surprise that people go great lengths to hide it. One way to do this on an iPhone is by using the Private Browsing feature in Safari, but this will do more than just protect your browsing history; perhaps more than most people want.
With a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed NoHistorySafari by iOS developer Wisy Channel, you can prevent Safari from keeping a history of the websites you visit without using Private Browsing mode.
Aside from other enhancements, Safari 11 on macOS High Sierra includes a nifty little feature that automatically strips any common webpage prefixes to help declutter the interface while making it easier for you to differentiate between multiple open tabs.
Safari has a built-in Reading List feature for saving webpages you'd like to revisit later. It's like bookmarks, but with full offline support. That is, any webpage saved in your Reading List prompt Safari to download and cache its text, images, layout and other assets on your device so that it can be read at any time, even without an Internet connection.
And with iCloud syncing, a webpage added to Reading List on one device gets individually cached across all your other devices, too. Caching webpages isn't the smartest idea if you're on a metered cellular plan, especially if you frequently use Reading List on the go.
Thankfully, iOS lets you decide whether or not Reading List items should be downloaded when your iPhone is connected to the Internet through your carrier's cellular data network.
About Safari Reading ListReading List made its debut with the release of OS X Lion and iOS 5 in 2011.
The feature received offline support the following year in OS X Mountain Lion and iOS 6. Reading List is unavailable on a device unless Safari syncing is turned on in Settings → iCloud on iOS or in the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences on macOS.
Don't confuse Reading List with Safari's regular bookmarking feature, which simply stores a webpage URL rather than download and cache its full contents, like Reading List does.
Due to the fact that a vast majority of websites take advantage of high-resolution image assets, your offline Reading List cache can eat up a significant amount of on-device storage.
And because Safari syncs your Reading List, bookmarks and other data via iCloud, adding a webpage to Reading List on your iPad prompts your iPhone to  download it, and vice versa.
Thankfully, you can revert this behavior with a few taps, here's how.
How to stop Reading List caching via cellularSafari on iPhone and iPad defaults to caching all Reading List items for offline access, whether you're connected to the network via Wi-Fi or through your carrier's cellular data network.
To tell Safari to cache your Reading List items for offline access only when your iPhone or cellular-enable iPad is connected to a Wi-Fi network, do the following:
1) Open Settings on your iPhone or cellular iPad.
2) Tap Safari.
3) Scroll to the bottom of the Safari settings screen, then slide the switch Use Cellular Data underneath the Reading List headline to the OFF position.
This will stop Reading List items from being downloaded through this device's cellular connection. You must do this on every iPhone and cellular iPad using the same Apple ID.
With cellular updates turned off, any webpages you add to your Reading List in the future will still show up in Safari's Reading List menu but they'll only get cached via Wi-Fi.
Deleting offline Reading List cacheTo free up storage space taken up by Safari's offline Reading List cache, go to Settings → General → iCloud & Storage Usage, then tap Manage Storage under the Storage headline.
Find and tap Safari in the list of apps, swipe left over Offline Reading List, then hit Delete.
Wiping the cache clean won’t remove any items from your Reading List in iCloud.
You will still be able to open any webpage from your Reading List like you normally would, but your device will need to be connected to the Internet to display a non-cached item.
And one last tip before we sign off—knowing your Reading List is archived automatically in iCloud, you are actually able to easily restore it from an earlier version at any time.

There's a significant difference in usability between the tabbed browsing experience in Safari on the iPad versus the paged browsing experience in Safari on the iPhone; with that in mind, some might prefer the former.
A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed FullSafari by iOS developer Bensge gives even iPhone and iPod touch users access to the iPad-like tabbed browsing experience in Safari, providing a more capable web browser in the palm of your hand.
