Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2020 Looking for reports, from those who've been brave enough to update. The new icons are terrible by the way š Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBraddock Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The new icons indeed look horrible, which reminds me of icons pack that I'd installed on my windows mobile phone 15 years ago š In terms of performance and reliability, I have yet to use it extensively but it seems ok so far. One thing I've noticed right away is scrolling. It is way smoother on Chrome and Safari.Ā What I really wonder is how some of theseĀ design changes have passed from accessibility point of view.

JBraddock Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I can report one bug that I've just come across. While playing YouTube videos, if I can use L to skip the video consecutively, the tab freezes and comes back to life after a while, which wasn't the case on Mojave.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 13, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2020 Is there any real difference between Safari 14 in Catalina vs Big Sur? Same version in both isn't it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBraddock Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I didn't installĀ Catalina so I can't comment on it. But I believe it was the same Safari on MojaveĀ albeit without this problem. On Big Sur, at least on my machine (iMac 2017 - 27"), the scrolling is smoother, 4K is finally available on YouTube but skipping is not really smooth, which I've tried with 1080p videos, too. Safari is now using VP9 codec so it might be something to do with this change as it used to be H.264 only on Mojave hence the lack of 4K. Other than that, playback is smooth, which I also tried with 4K 60p,Ā and there is no change in fan noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 14, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted November 14, 2020 Great that YouTube is finally in 4K in Safari. Not in the same version of Safari on Catalina however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek of Joy Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Some are reporting issues with FCP and Big Sur, so I'm holding off for now.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought YouTube was sticking to their guns on using VP9 for 4K.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is quite interesting is VP9 appears as an experimental feature if you enable developer menu, which I assume means that it is stillĀ a working progress.
