The new version of the browser adds the following fixes and changes:

– Automatically suggests and fills a strong, unique password when creating an account or changing a password
– Flags reused passwords in Safari Preferences
– Adds support for allowing or blocking pop-ups on specific websites
– Prevents embedded content and social media buttons from tracking cross-site browsing without permission
– Suppresses ad retargeting by reducing advertisers’ ability to identify Mac devices uniquely
– Automatically turns off Safari extensions that negatively impact browsing performance
– Improves security by only supporting legacy Safari Extensions that have been reviewed by Apple
– Improves security by discontinuing support for most NPAPI plug-ins
Safari 12 requires macOS 10.12.6 or later to install and run and can be downloaded and installed via the “Updates” tab in the Mac App Store.
