Apple today released Safari 13.0.1 which contains feature improvements as well as privacy, security and compatibility enhancements and is recommended for all users.
This update:
• Includes an updated start page with Favorites, frequently visited, and most recently visited websites
• Provides a warning if a weak password is typed when signing in to a website and helps to upgrade it to a strong password
• Adds the ability to enable Picture in Picture from the audio button in a tab
• Enables jumping directly to an already-open tab from the search completion list when the website address is typed into the Smart Search field
• Adds support for authentication using USB security keys on supported websites
• Fixes an issue that prevents signing into Google in Internet Accounts in System Preferences

If this “update” includes new “features” that change the behavior users have come to expect (opening a new tab next to the last viewed tab instead of next to the + symbol as always, WTF?!) expect another exercise in frustration. Apple OS releases have devolved into unpleasantly discovering broken functionality and change over function.
Does this update fix iCloud Tabs?
The new Favorites page– I don’t get it. I have fewer choices, and they aren’t the ones I would have put there if I had any choice. The most recently visited function does not seem to work… and there’s no place to fine-tune any of this? Not good.
tried to use drop down list on websites, but it crashes Safari 13.0.1
careful, on these forums if you point out how mediocre Apple has become, the fanbois will go on the attack.
