Safari 14: New privacy and security features
2020-09-17 11:53

Apple has released Safari 14, which features many functional improvements, a Privacy Report that shows all the trackers the browser has neutralized, and and does not support Adobe Flash anymore.

Safari 14 sports a redesign of the tab bar, which now displays site favicons by default and previews of the contents of some pages, and a customizable start page.

The Privacy Report shows the cross-site trackers that Intelligent Tracking Prevention prevented from accessing identifying information, and how many and which trackers the visited websites sport.

Safari blocks trackers only if the "Prevent cross-site tracking" option is turned on, and the Privacy Report can only be compiled if users have turned ITP on.

Apple has fixed four WebKit vulnerabilities in Safari 14.
