Every New Safari Feature Apple Announced at WWDC By darkweb news
At the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple said that Safari on macOS 15 Sequoia will receive a number of exciting enhancements, including the ability to block out distractions when watching videos and summarize articles as you read them. Continue reading to find out what other new improvements Safari will be bringing to your Mac later this year.
Videos in viewer mode are free of interruptions.
Similar to how Safari's Reader mode obscures all of the content so you can concentrate on reading, Apple has unveiled a new Viewer mode that does the same for online films. When Safari on macOS 15 Sequoia learns that you have viewed a video on a webpage, it will conceal all other content. The movie will enlarge to fill your Safari window with as much room as possible.
According to a test Apple demonstrated during the WWDC 2024 keynote, the video instantly switches to picture-in-picture mode the moment you click away. Note that not all websites support Reader mode, just as not all websites do.
Depending on the video player that your favorite websites employ, viewer mode may also experience problems. It's possible that some of them are bespoke players that disable Viewer mode; the effectiveness of this feature is yet unknown.
Use article summaries to save time.
In order to save you time, Safari will also provide a summary when you're reading a lengthy article. Of course, a summary cannot replace reading the full text, but in a hurry, it can help you quickly scan the most crucial passages.
The benefits of machine learning for browsing
Additionally, Safari will make use of machine learning to draw attention to key content on the page. When a website mentions a hotel, Safari can display a map location card with an Apple Maps navigation button to assist you in getting there. For example, Safari may show a movie information card when you read an article about a movie.
This narrative is still evolving. The WWDC conference is scheduled to run through June 14 and Apple's keynote address is presently taking place. Lifehacker will promptly update this article with pertinent information as it becomes available.
