How does Safari Technology Preview help Apple?
Apple's goal with Safari Technology Preview is to gather feedback from developers and users about its browser development process. Safari Technology Preview can run alongside the existing Safari browser, and while it's designed for developers, it doesn't require a developer account to download and use. This makes it accessible to a wider audience interested in trying out the latest browser technologies.
The ability to run alongside the regular Safari browser allows users to try out new features without affecting their daily browsing experience. This is especially useful for developers who want to ensure that their websites will work properly with future versions of Safari.
