In addition to these features, the update introduces the ability to add websites to the Dock as web apps. This means you can easily access your favorite websites directly from the Dock, making your browsing experience more efficient.

Safari, Apple’s web browser, has undergone several improvements as well. These include enhanced privacy features, improved tab management, and increased speed and rendering capabilities.

The macOS Sonoma update promises to deliver an enhanced user experience with its myriad of new features and optimizations.
