Apple has released Safari 18.2 for macOS 14 Sonoma and macOS 13 Ventura to fix five security vulnerabilities (including four WebKit-related issues that fend off maliciously crafted web content). When Safari 18 was released in September, the app gained several new features, including a redesigned Reader, the Distraction Control feature that can hide items on a Web page to improve focus while browsing, a Video Viewer mode that expands video to the size of the window and provides a picture-in-picture option, and the Highlights feature that detects relevant information from a Web page (such as a map location or business hours; see below) and provides those highlights after clicking the Page Menu icon in the address bar. The update is available via System Settings > General > Software Update. (Free, release notes, macOS 13+)
