Apple has released Safari Technology Preview Browser 109 for download.

Safari Technology Preview Release 109 is now available for download for macOS Catalina. With this release, Safari Technology Preview is now available for betas of macOS Big Sur. If you already have Safari Technology Preview installed, you can update in the Software Update pane of System Preferences on macOS. Safari Technology Preview is currently only available for Intel-based Macs.

This release includes new Safari and WebKit features that will be present in Safari 14.

The following Safari 14 features are new in Safari Technology Preview 109:
● Safari Web Extensions. Extensions written for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that use the WebExtension APIs can be converted to Safari Web Extensions using Xcode 12.

● Privacy Report. See the trackers that Intelligent Tracking Prevention prevented from accessing identifying information.

● Improved tab management with tab previews. Tabs feature a new space-efficient design that lets you view more tabs on-screen and preview tabs to find the one you’re looking for.

● Website icons in tabs. Icons in tabs are turned on by default in Safari 14.

● Password breach notifications. On macOS Big Sur, Safari will notify users when one of their saved passwords in iCloud Keychain has shown up in a data breach; requesting a password change uses the well-known URL for changing passwords (https://example.com/.well-known/change-password), enabling websites to specify the page to open for updating a password.

● Domain-bound codes. Added support to Security Code AutoFill for domain-bound, one-time codes sent over SMS; in the following 2FA SMS, Safari only offers to fill the code on example.com, and no other domain.
Your Example code is 123446.
@example.com #123446

● Web Authentication. Added a Web Authentication platform authenticator using Touch ID, if that capability is present. Added support for PIN entry and account selection on external FIDO2 security keys.

● Adobe Flash is no longer supported in Safari.

In addition to these new Safari 14 features, this release covers WebKit revisions 262502-263214 and Password Manager Resources version 10e3fca9.
