"A couple of days ago, the Apple team released Safari 26.0! Is it a big deal? I mean, browsers release new versions all the time, where they sprinkle in a couple or few new features. They are, of course, all useful, but there aren't usually a lot of "big leaps" between versions. Safari 26 is different, though. It introduces a lot of new stuff. To be precise, it adds: 75 new features, 3 deprecations, and 171 other improvements."

Safari 26 delivers a substantial update with 75 new features, 3 deprecations, and 171 other improvements, significantly expanding browser capabilities.

WebKit provides a detailed breakdown of all additions. Developers without macOS can test Safari features using Playwright. Anchor positioning support arrives, enabling attachment of absolutely-positioned targets to anchor elements for more robust layout patterns. The staggered release cadence across browsers helps refine implementations and improve interoperability over time.
