Change to needs tab options

Disappointing that the option to set new tab start page has been removed. We used to be able to select a ulr for new tab start page (as remains three case on Mac Safari browser). Current start page is annoying and just adds steps to browsing. Please reinstate tab start page option. Otherwise I'll be switching browsers.

Perfect

I love using Safari. It’s fast, safe and integrates seamlessly with my Apple devices. And I love the summarize feature where a whole webpage can be summarized using Apple Intelligence.

Website Links are unremovavable

BROWSER HISTORY STILL SHOWING UP IN TYPO WHEN I TYPE IN THE SEARCH BOX PREVIOUS LINKS ANS SEARCH STILL SHOWING UP WHY WHEN BROWSER HISTORY HAS BEEN CLEARED! HOW IS HISTORY SHOWING UP IN PRIVATE BROWSING CAN YOU EXPLAIN????????
Safari: Website links cannot be removed and this has been happening for a while long before the update and after the update ..you think you have removed the link and once again it reappears! Then when you contact you Apple about it you have the check to want to go into my bank account for iCloud storage charges it would seem money is your only objective not providing products that work it would seem it common practice that every time I contact you you are knocking on my door for money!? Is that acceptable?! no! Fix your items in the last iCloud syncing many of my items did not show up once again and are now lost thanks to you! After once again being stalked on your privacy phone I had to reinstall my phone and again data has been lost!

AI

I hate ai so much and when i use safari it gives me an 'ai recap' and its so annoying because i cant figure out how to opt out of it. I do not support ai as it steals work from small businesses, artists and unsuspecting people to train it. This, as well as its negative environmental impact from the resources required to keep the computers from overheating makes ai such a waste. Ai is something that is being used to replace everything humans have ever done for no reason, we normalising ai and adding it into everything use for no reason. Please make this optional very soon.

Unable to resize video playback

Unfortunately when videos are played in full screen mode, both left and right edges are cut off, in attempt to fill screen top and bottom. Would be nice to customise this. On the plus side, at least the pause/play button is at the bottom (left) and not in centre of screen (per competition) blocking vision of image.

Safari Review

Safari is the best browser for Apple devices as it is the most optimised browser for Apple silicon and has far better privacy features than chrome, BTW I’m not being biesed and glazing Apple because I used to only use chrome but then I started using safari and it’s been much better for me!

Black page

I don’t know why but every time i visit a website it shows me black screen instead of showing the webpage content. Worst update ever.

JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!

While safari is great for many things has the answer to almost everything it tends to not always tell me what I am asking.
When I look things up on safari the first reply at the top usually tells me stuff related to my question, but not stuff about my question. It then shows lots of websites I can go to but it takes ages to find the information I am looking for and sometimes the websites don’t even have the answer.

For example,as history homework I needed to write an article about the buffalo hunt. So, I looked up on safari β€˜how many times a year did the native Americans hunt buffalo?’ The first answer that pops up is β€˜Native Americans killed about 280,000 buffalo a year’ This is not the information I wanted to know.
I next went to Wikipedia from safari and I could not find the answer anywhere. I eventually had to personally ask my teacher the answer and went behind on my homework.

I just wish safari could answer the question I am asking rather than telling me a bunch of other stuff about the topic.

Why

Just let me delete my godamn search history without having to download any apps

Clear History and Website Data

Too many clicks to access the Safari settings. Way too cumbersome.

Allow access to the Safari settings directly from the Safari browser; or at least create a shortcut to clear history and website data for better security and privacy.

Thanks
