Safari might not be the most exciting part of macOS, but Apple isn’t giving its web browser the cold shoulder. The latest version includes a number of useful improvements, including better privacy controls, encryption features, and the ability to create ”apps” from any web page.
The splashiest feature might be the new web apps. This puts a website in your dock on macOS, just like any other app and opens it with a minimal interface that helps mask the fact that you’re just using a webpage in a browser. If this sounds similar, that’s because it’s almost exactly like shortcuts in Google’s Chrome which can also put a link, complete with a favicon in your dock and opens the site in a simple frame with none of the normal browser controls. This helps blur the line between desktop and web apps, which was part of Chrome’s whole pitch, especially as it grew into Chrome OS.
