WWDC 2024: Apple announces new Safari with Highlights and ‘distraction-free’ Reader sidebar

Apple safari window

Safari is getting an AI-powered revamp.

Apple didn’t forget about its browser amidst the slew of AI features announced at WWDC. Safari now has a Highlights feature for recapping articles and web pages. In the new Safari release, users can get automated summaries of the page their browsing, such as directions to a location, more about TV shows they’re reading about, or travel and hotel information.

Safari also has a reader module, which provides a “distraction free” way of browsing in a sidebar that shows a summary and table of contents. The idea is for users to quickly get a recap of a long document or web page without having to leave the page to, say, paste the text into ChatGPT for a summary.

AI-powered Safari is similar to what Microsoft has with its browser, Edge, which also has summarization features and a Copilot sidebar chat. Google Chrome was also testing an “SGE while browsing” feature, but hasn’t announced anything about it lately.
