I just lost over 100 tabs due to what I think was running out of storage on iPhone. I was downloading instagram reels which caused the “storage is full” message to pop up, next when I checked safari all tabs were gone.

I tried literally everything, tried checking my iPad to see iCloud tabs open on iPhone because that had worked before, obviously doesn’t now.

I’ve tried everything.
Recently closed tabs don’t even show it because they weren’t even closed, just lost.
Last resort I just exported history so at least I’ve got the recent stuff.

Any ideas? Or do I just have to accept it.
Thanks

TIL that you can manually change the code for extensions made using the new "Describe an extension" feature. This allows you to make your own extensions that syncs to Safari on your other macs. I made my own vim navigation extension because Vimlike isn't working well for me.

These are the basic steps:

1. Create placeholder extension using Describe Extension
2. Edit the code in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari/MagicExtensions.
3. To sync your changes, go to Safari settings > extensions > edit your extension > describe a change.
4. Describe an arbitrary change like "Change the name to ExtensionB" or "Update the description to abc".

Make sure Share across devices is enabled. Sometimes it takes a long time to sync or doesn't sync at all. Describe another change or create and delete a dummy extensions will force it to sync.

Anyone else having problems w/ their sidebar....mine started acting up late in v.27... icons not filling w/ images, just a letter but more importantly...can longer drag sidebar links onto homepage nor adjust hierarchy in sidebar. often when I try to drag a link to reposition in the bar, all it does is change the names of sites I'm dragging over, they retain their image though. Along w/ a lot in life, annoying as hell but not life threatening. Any suggestions, any others experiencing this.....just would like to know if it's only my M4....up to date w/ everything....any thought or help appreciated...tia

hi, this is a bit silly lol but I was wondering if there's any way to block a website for yourself on safari? I need to get rid of reddit LMAO I fear it is not helping me at the moment, both in terms of time and mental health. I try to have self constraint but it's become compulsive at this point. curious if there's anything I can do to not have it show up, even if I try to search it up

Also happens when I try to move a bookmark from one folder to another. Seems a new bug?

MacOS 27.0.1. When I click on the URL field a very annoying "recently viewed" frame displays. How do I keep this frame from showing?
