You'll find simpler ways to create common UI patterns with just a few lines of HTML or CSS, and no JavaScript - like auto-growing text fields with CSS field-sizing, and buttons that open/close dialogs and popovers with command and commandfor HTML attributes."

Safari 26.2 delivers several more such features."

Anchor Positioning expands with position-visibility. The cursor property works on pseudo-elements and Initial Letter improvements simplify drop caps. CHIPS provides opt-in partitioned cookies and WebXR on visionOS gains WebGPU support. The release resolves 165 bugs.
