1. This is actually related to the Beta and does not happen on iOS 16. I will make sure it doesn't happen anymore when iOS 17 RC approaches.
2. Will try to reproduce and see what I can do. Thanks a lot!
Memory wise, at most 8 tabs can be kept alive in the background. Then based on the phone thermal state, that number decreases to 4, 2, and then 1.
Additionally, turning on Low Power Mode suspends all background tabs immediately, which is also convenient. I should probably document that behavior somewhere actually :)
- iOS 15 introduced a "proper" way to restore scroll position and page state. - iOS 16 introduced the super nice "expanded" font width, used in certain address bar setup. - iOS 16.4 fixed a bug where the address bar could not be properly attached to the keyboard.
Implementing custom search engines would be easy, but I would not be able to support their autosuggest API, since they all require custom parsing rules.
That would be a nice feature, but I'm not sure it should replace the current behavior. Maybe I can find a way for a search suggestion looking like a URL to present 2 actions: one opening the URL, another the search results. I will give it some thoughts in the shower! :)
Migrating cookies and history from Safari does not seem to be technically possible on iOS for privacy reasons.
