**OR**, if you’d rather listen to @bkardell and me go deep into a bunch of the things jam-packed into Safari 16.4 (relative color syntax! margin trimming! `lh` units! offscreenCanvas! better dev tools! more than a hundred more!) then head on over to https://www.igalia.com/chats/safari-16. Complete with a full transcript, if you prefer that sort of thing!

Ooh, so this was added now in Safari 16.4, I was wondering if I missed this earlier - nice! This will be very useful in @bannerhunter 😎 I should be able to block some more sneaky cookie banners that don't have an easily identifiable id/class. Thank you Webkit team! @othermaciej #Safari #Webkit

It’s hard to express just how massive a release Safari 16.4 is for web developers.

Last night, I was reading replies web developers posted on Twitter back in 2021, when I asked what developers need most from WebKit — and the vast majority of things you asked for have now shipped.

What is your favorite feature that just shipped in Safari 16.4?? What will you do with it?

I wish restaurants would prioritize non alcoholic wine and pairings with food. Almost no one I eat out with drinks alcohol anymore. Next and Smyth had awesome pairings. I wish more restaurants prioritized it. https://daily.sevenfifty.com/non-alcoholic-pairing-menus/

Being a woman in the tech industry has unfortunately given me an incredible amount of experience dealing with hate, harassment, & violent verbal attacks. It’s given me an incredibly thick skin. However recent attacks are pushing me over some kind of edge. It’s horrible to work hard on something for years, with an amazing team, only to have the weirdest, totally-wrong theories floated around as fact, endorsed by colleagues across the web industry. This level of hatred and cynicism is shocking.

Just read the latest release notes for Safari Technology Preview 164 and Safari 16.4 beta, and I'm blown away by the incredible work of @jondavis and @jensimmons.

Their attention to detail and comprehensive explanations make it easy to appreciate the hard work that goes into #WebKit and #Safari every day.

Thank you for keeping us informed and inspired!
