Shortly after Safari 26: Apple is free Safari 26.0.1

Nanu, haven’t I already installed that? Anyone who has looked into MacOS software update under MacOS 15 alias Sequoia in the past few days could find that an update for the Apple browser Safari is displayed there-although it was already updated at the beginning of last week. The puzzle solution: Apple has pushed secret, quietly and quietly a mini update for Safari-from Safari 26.0 to 26.0.1. Unfortunately, the typical problem: The company does not provide any information on what has changed. In addition to Sequoia, Safari 26.0.1 is also available for download for MacOS 14 alias Sonica.

Important fixes in terms of security

The information on Safari 26.0.1 corresponds to those of Safari 26- there are performance and security improvements. Apple had already had 26.0 for Safari Seven closed gaps Plus three more “Credit-Only” instructions communicated to security-relevant improvements. There is obviously no news here for Safari 26.0.1. The exploited problem areas included unwanted URL extensions, address strip spoofing, reading sensor information without demand and various browser and process falls.

So far, why Apple Safari updated on Safari 26.0.1 has not leaked through: Under certain circumstances, there must have been mistakes that needed the group to a quick update. On a test device in the Mac & I editorial team, Safari 26 partially slowed down when displaying the address bar, which probably had to do with the undesirable activation of the start screen within the “smart address bar” than Safari 26 itself.

Tahoe with a new look for safari

The big innovations of Safari 26 are within MacOS 26 alias Tahoe. This includes a surface adapted to Liquid Glass and other small and larger changes. Apple stays with the old look under Sequoia and Sonoma. Nevertheless, updates are important because security gaps are repeatedly closed.

It can be assumed that Apple Safari maintains at least until next autumn for the two systems – probably at least another year for Sequoia. MacOS 13 alias Ventura, on the other hand, has no longer received safari updates since this month, which means open security gaps.
