How to translate web pages in safari on mac.

Have you landed on a French or Spanish website? Translate it to English with the press of a button!

Often find yourself on websites with text in a foreign language? If you use Safari, there's no need to go to Google Translate. You can translate web pages between seven languages right in Safari on a Mac.

Starting with Safari 14.0, Apple included a translation feature directly in the browser. As of this writing, the feature is in beta, but fully functional. If your Mac is running the latest version of macOS Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur , or newer, you can access the translation feature.

The translation functionality works between the following languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

By default, you can translate any of the above languages to English. You can also add more languages to the mix (we'll talk more about that below).

To get started, open a web page in one of the supported languages. Safari will automatically recognize that language, and you'll see "Translation Available" in the URL bar, along with a Translation button; click it.

If this is the first time you've used the feature, a pop-up will appear. Click "Enable Translation" to turn on the feature.

In the translation menu, select "Translate to English."

The text on the page will instantly convert to English, as shown in the image below. The Translation button will also turn blue.

To disable the Translation feature and return to the original language, click the Translation button again, and then select "View Original."

As we mentioned above, you can also translate to languages other than English. To do so, click the Translation button, and then select "Preferred Languages."

This opens the "Language & Region" menu in System Preferences. Here, click the plus sign (+) to add a new preferred language. You can add multiple languages here while continuing to use English as the default language across your Mac.

In the pop-up, select the languages you want to add, and then click "Add."

System Preferences will ask if you want to make this your default language. Choose the previous default language if you want it to remain the status quo.

Now that you've added a new preferred language, you'll see the translation button even when you visit web pages that are in English.

The translation process for a preferred language is the same: click the Translation button in the URL bar, and then select "Translate to [the language you selected]."

Again, you can view the original at any time by simply clicking "View Original" in the Translation menu.

If you're traveling to a new country, you can also use the built-in Translate app on your iPhone or iPad to quickly translate speech between multiple languages.

Troubleshooting, how to use translate webpages in safari for mac.

Ever ended up on a webpage in a different language and wished you could translate it instantly? With the latest versions of Safari for Mac, you can use a native translation feature to convert a webpage from a foreign language to your native tongue. This is fantastic for many obvious reasons, particularly if you want to read international news from an original source rather than a regurgitated spin version from a US outlet.

Safari’s built-in language translation feature is for modern versions of Safari and macOS, so as long as you’re running Safari 14 or newer in macOS Big Sur or newer, you’ll be good to go. If you’re on an earlier version of MacOS, then you may find use in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, which also have native language translation features available, or you could use an iPhone or iPad if they’re running modern system software, as Safari for iOS and iPadOS have the translation capability too.

Want to try out the new translation feature to translate webpages in Safari on the Mac? Then read on!

How to Translate Webpage Language in Safari for Mac

Assuming your Mac is running a modern version of macOS and Safari, here’s how you can translate webpages:

There you go. Now you’ve learned how to take advantage of the new built-in translator in Safari on your Mac.

Current supported languages for translation are English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

If you’re unable to find the native translator in Safari and you’re running Safari 14 or later on macOS 11 or later, it’s probably because you’re living in an unsupported region or trying to use an unsupported language. This new feature is currently limited to users living in the United States, UK, and Canada, but will expand as time goes on. If you’re too impatient to wait, you can change your Mac’s region to either of these countries and then access the translator.

Do you use an iPhone or iPad as your primary mobile device? If you’ve updated your device to iOS 14/iPadOS 14 or later, you will be pleased to know that you can translate webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad in a similar manner as detailed here .

We hope you were able to access Safari’s built-in translator and convert foreign webpages to English without any issues. What are your overall thoughts on this addition to Safari? Let us know your experiences, thoughts, and tips in the comments!

I live in the Netherlands. Using iMac 10.15.7, Safari 14.0.3. I did not get the translate icon. In iMac preferences, in Language and Region I changed Country to US and in UK, after restart neither produced a translate icon. I tried iPhone 11, iOS 14.4.2, tried Safari using same website, No translation icon….

What is wrong?

Translate is available for English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. The Mac must be running macOS 11 or newer to have this capability.

On the iPhone and iPad, the translate feature is tucked behind the webpage options accessible in the URL bar.

For Mac users running prior versions of MacOS, Chrome offers a similar webpage translation feature.

Conversely, I’m using Safari 14.03 on a Mac in France and I have got the translate icon.

I am using Safari 14.0.3 on MacBook Pro 10.14.6 in the UK and I do not get the translate icon showing when using a foreign language site.

I also have an iPad not showing there either.

The translation feature is only available in macOS Big Sur or later for Mac, and iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or later on iPhone and iPad. There was a typo by the original author which mentioned Safari 14 as the prerequisite rather than macOS 11, that has been fixed.

Hope that helps, sorry about the confusion!

This very necessary link provides an error:

https://osxdaily.com/?p=108867

Please fix and resend an email to subscribers.

I’ve been trying this with 14.0.3 on Catalina, but like Jeff, I do not get the translate icon on a foreign website.

I’ve been trying all afternoon with this tip, safari 14 latest Catalina. No translate icon ever appears; it almost feels like it hasn’t been switched on. Any thoughts?

I am running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacMini with MacOS 10.15.7. It does not have the translate icon. I am also running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacBookPro with MacOS 11..2.1. It has the translate icon. When I first tried to post this reply, the osxdaily.com website reported this to be a duplicate reply.

This is in macOS 11 or newer only, it’s a Big Sur feature not a Safari 14 feature

I am using Safari 14.03 on a Mac running 10.15.7 in the US and I do not get the translate icon when I go to a foreign language site. Could this be a OS 11 only feature?

I have 2 macintosh computers. The first is a MacMini running 10.15.7 with Safari 14.0.3 and it does not have the translate icon. The second is a MacBookPro running 11.2.1 with Safari 14.0.3. It has the translate icon. Both computers were checked using the http://www.lemonde.fr website.

I have the same problem as Jeff, using the same Safari and latest Catalina. Almost feels like translate isn’t switched on.

Any thoughts?

Same here. Catalina with Safari 14.03. Texas is in the US, though some might disagree.

Safari makes it simple to translate almost any web page in its entirety.

Maybe it’s not an entire web page you want to translate but a certain part. It might be a sentence or a paragraph. You can do this using Live Text and then take advantage of the additional options you have.

Select the text you want to translate by dragging your cursor through it to highlight it.

You can decide the availability of languages when you use Safari’s translation feature . Here’s how.

Open your System Settings, go to General, and pick Language & Region

At the top of the window, you’ll see Preferred Languages listing those you have available for translation.

To add a language, tap on add in system settings

You’ll see a message asking if you want to change your primary language to the one you want to add. Choose the option you want, and you’ll then see the new language displayed in your Preferred Languages list.

When you finish, close the System Settings. You should then see your updated languages available when you select the Translate icon in Safari.

If you translate a page and believe the translation may be inaccurate, you can let Apple know. This helps Apple improve translations moving forward.

You’ll see a message pop-up letting you know that Apple will store and use the web page address contents to improve translations. Pick Report to send the information to Apple.

Don’t let language barriers stop you!

With the built-in translation feature in Safari on Mac, you don’t have to use a third-party translator or bypass a potentially great web page because it’s in a different language.

How to Use the Built-In Translator in macOS Big Sur’s Safari

Here’s how to translate web pages in Safari:

How to translate websites that won't in Apple Safari

Translation in Safari

Apple has had a habit of using the word "magical" for anything new, but in this specific case it's the correct term. If you need, or just want, to read websites in languages you don't understand, Safari is genuinely magical.

Go to a website in Safari and, if its in one of a select few languages, it can all be translated . And all really does mean all.

Rather than translating a sentence here or there, Safari will redraw the page with every bit of text changed into English. More, if you go from that page to another one on the same site, you don't even have to tell Safari you want that translated too.

Until you leave a site, or you tell Safari to switch back to the original language, everything will be translated for you automatically and very quickly.

There is this issue that Safari is limited in how many languages it can do this for, but that will increase over time. What's perhaps more pressing is that you often don't want an entire site translated, you just want to know what this bit says.

This is the ideal: Safari translates a page in place.

Choosing languages to translate

It's a big job adding the facility to translate a given language and it is going to take time for more to be added to Safari. That's a pain if your preferred languages are not yet available, but it's also understandable.

What's less understandable is how hard it can be to determine what languages you can translate. By default, Safari will recognize a number of languages and tell you when a translation is available.

However, Apple says that you may be able to add more by altering your region settings. If you go to System Preferences , choose Language & Region , then click on General , you do get options.

There's a list of your preferred languages, which may well only contain one. But there's a plus sign at the bottom of the list and through that you can add many more.

Except there doesn't appear to be any clear way to determine from the list of available languages, which ones can be translated automatically. Not by Safari, and presumably not by the forthcoming macOS Monterey.

How translation will improve in macOS Monterey

The forthcoming macOS Monterey is going to address this. It will feature Safari's translation technology, but apply it system-wide.

So whatever you're doing on your Mac, including reading the web in browsers other than Safari, macOS Monterey can provide translations. Selecting text anywhere on your Mac and then right-clicking, will bring up a Translate option.

For now, though, you have to select text, copy it, and then take it to another service.

Using online translators

Easily the best-known online translator is Google's and if you do this a lot, translate.google.com is a very familiar address. What you get there looks like an online version of Apple's own iOS Translate app, in that you get two text areas.

Paste or type text into one side, read the translation in the other. Google will determine what the original language is, and will default to showing you the result in English. You can, though, change either side as you need.

Google Translate works with an incredible number of languages

Very broadly, though, Google is strong on translating quite short snippets. It's the reason those two text boxes are a little on the small side.

There is also a Documents option in Google Translate, though. Choosing this lets you load an extremely wide range of document types, from Word through PowerPoint, and have them translated.

When you're doing longer documents, though, there are alternative services such as DeepL Translator . It costs from $7 per month for a version with no limits on the length of text it will translate.

But there is also a free one that will translate an unspecified limited number of words. The advantage of DeepL Translator, and other services, is that they tend to be better at longer texts. They tend to be better when you want more than a rough idea of what's being said.

Speeding up how to get to online translators

It's not as if it's a burden to copy and paste some text into Google Translate. Nor is it arduous to drag a Word file onto DeepL Translator.

Nonetheless, both are enough to break your concentration when you're working. And there is a way to at least speed up the job with the third-party app PopClip .

PopClip brings an iOS-style pop-up menu to the Mac. On an iPhone or iPad, once you've selected a word, iOS shows you a black bar with options such as Copy, Cut, and so on.

PopClip is a Mac utility that brings iOS-style pop up options, and can be customized to include a translate button

There's no system equivalent on the Mac, but PopClip provides it. By default, it too shows basic options such as Copy, Cut, Paste and so on. But you can add to it from a growing list of extra tools that you might want quick access to — including translate.

PopClip costs $12.99 on the Mac App Store, and comes with close to 200 free tools called extensions. Add a Google Translate extension to PopClip and now you can select some text, then immediately click on a translate button.

All it really does then is take the selected text, opens a new browser tab and pastes it into Google Translate. That's still taking you away from the text you're reading, and it will do a new tab for every time you select and choose translate.

Plus you'll find you have to select at most a few paragraphs at a time. Depending on whether you're selecting text in a document or a website, there will come a point where the PopClip translate extension disappears because you have too many words.

Using translation in your workflow

There is more that could be done to make translation happen in line, making it happen as you read instead of requiring you to take the text somewhere else. And it looks like that work is being done, that it will be part of macOS Monterey.

In the meantime, the ability to get a quick, possibly quite rough Google translation is deeply convenient. And then getting a more considered translation can bring you more than the surface word-for-word literal translation can.

Alternatively, though, you could put some work in yourself and use Duolingo to learn a language.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to seamlessly translate web pages, opening up a world of possibilities for exploration and learning.

So, whether you're planning a trip abroad, conducting research for a project, or simply indulging your curiosity, Safari's translation feature is here to make your browsing experience more accessible and enjoyable. Let's dive into the steps and unlock the potential of seamless webpage translation with Safari.

Step 1: Open Safari and Navigate to the Page

To begin the process of translating a webpage on Safari, you'll first need to open the Safari browser on your Apple device. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, simply locate the Safari icon on your home screen or within your app library and tap to open it. For Mac users, you can access Safari from your dock, Launchpad, or by searching for it in Spotlight.

Once Safari is open, the next step is to navigate to the webpage that you wish to translate. You can do this by tapping the address bar at the top of the Safari window and entering the URL of the webpage directly. Alternatively, if you have a bookmark or favorite for the webpage, you can access it by tapping the bookmarks icon and selecting the desired link.

If you're browsing the web and come across a page in a foreign language that you'd like to translate, simply tap on the link to open the webpage. Safari will load the page, and you can proceed to the next step to initiate the translation process.

It's important to ensure that you have a stable internet connection to facilitate the loading of the webpage. A strong and reliable internet connection will not only expedite the process but also ensure a smooth and uninterrupted browsing experience.

As you navigate to the webpage, take a moment to appreciate the wealth of information and diverse content available on the internet. Whether you're accessing a news article, a blog post, or a research paper, the ability to translate web pages on Safari opens up a world of knowledge and perspectives, transcending language barriers and fostering global connectivity.

With Safari's user-friendly interface and seamless navigation capabilities, accessing and exploring web content has never been easier. The intuitive design and smooth performance of Safari contribute to a delightful browsing experience, setting the stage for effortless webpage translation and discovery.

Now that you've successfully opened Safari and navigated to the webpage of interest, you're ready to proceed to the next step and initiate the translation process. Let's delve into the next phase and unlock the power of language translation with Safari.

Step 2: Tap the Share Button

Once you've navigated to the webpage you wish to translate, the next step is to tap the Share button within Safari. The Share button is a versatile tool that allows you to perform various actions related to the webpage, including sharing the link, saving it for later, or, in this case, initiating the translation process.

On an iPhone or iPad, the Share button is typically located at the bottom of the screen, represented by a square icon with an arrow pointing upwards. Tapping this button opens a menu of options for interacting with the webpage. For Mac users, the Share button is located in the Safari toolbar, often depicted as a box with an arrow pointing upwards or as a "Share" label.

Upon tapping the Share button, a menu will appear, presenting a range of actions that you can take with the webpage. Among these options, you'll find the "Translate to English" (or the language of your choice) feature. This functionality is made possible by Safari's integration with the built-in translation capabilities of Apple devices, providing a seamless and efficient method for translating web content.

By selecting the "Translate to English" option, Safari will promptly initiate the translation process, converting the text and content of the webpage into the specified language. This transformation occurs seamlessly within the Safari browser, allowing you to access the translated content without the need for external applications or services.

The Share button serves as a gateway to a multitude of functionalities, empowering users to interact with webpages in diverse and meaningful ways. Whether you're sharing content with friends, saving articles for later reading, or translating webpages into different languages, the Share button is a versatile tool that enhances the browsing experience on Safari.

As you tap the Share button and select the "Translate to English" option, take a moment to appreciate the seamless integration of translation capabilities within Safari. This intuitive and user-friendly approach to webpage translation exemplifies the commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, enabling users to engage with global content in their preferred language.

With the translation process initiated, you're now poised to explore the translated webpage and delve into the wealth of information and insights it offers. As we move forward, the next step will guide you through reviewing the translated page, ensuring that the content is accurately and comprehensively rendered in the desired language. Let's continue our journey through the world of webpage translation with Safari.

Step 3: Select "Translate to English" (or other language)

Upon tapping the Share button and accessing the menu of options within Safari, you'll encounter the transformative feature that enables you to seamlessly translate the webpage into your preferred language. This pivotal step in the translation process exemplifies the user-centric design and intuitive functionality of Safari, empowering you to engage with web content in a language that resonates with you.

As you select the "Translate to English" option (or the language of your choice), Safari swiftly initiates the translation process, harnessing the power of advanced language processing capabilities to convert the textual content of the webpage. The seamless integration of translation functionality within Safari ensures that the process is swift, efficient, and seamlessly woven into your browsing experience.

The ability to select from a range of languages reflects the inclusive and diverse nature of Safari's translation feature. Whether you're fluent in multiple languages, seeking to enhance your language skills, or simply exploring content in a language other than your own, Safari's translation capabilities cater to a broad spectrum of linguistic preferences and needs.

By choosing the "Translate to English" (or other language) option, you unlock a gateway to a world of knowledge, culture, and information that transcends linguistic barriers. The translated webpage presents the content in a format that is accessible and comprehensible, fostering a sense of global connectivity and understanding.

The seamless execution of the translation process underscores Safari's commitment to enhancing the accessibility and inclusivity of web content. Regardless of the language in which the original webpage is written, Safari's translation feature empowers users to engage with diverse perspectives, ideas, and narratives, enriching the browsing experience and broadening horizons.

As the translation unfolds, take a moment to appreciate the transformative power of language and the role it plays in fostering global connections. The ability to select "Translate to English" (or other language) represents a bridge between cultures, ideas, and individuals, encapsulating the spirit of inclusivity and understanding that defines the digital landscape.

With the translation process initiated and the content seamlessly transformed into your preferred language, you're now poised to delve into the translated webpage and explore the wealth of information and insights it offers. The next step will guide you through reviewing the translated page, ensuring that the content is accurately and comprehensively rendered in the desired language. Let's continue our journey through the world of webpage translation with Safari.

Step 4: Review the Translated Page

Upon initiating the translation process and selecting the desired language for the webpage, Safari promptly presents the translated version of the page, allowing you to review the content in a language that resonates with you. This pivotal phase in the translation journey provides an opportunity to ensure that the translated page accurately reflects the original content, enabling you to engage with the information, insights, and narratives presented on the webpage.

As you review the translated page, pay close attention to the accuracy and coherence of the translated text. Safari's advanced language processing capabilities strive to faithfully render the content in the specified language, preserving the essence and meaning of the original text. By meticulously examining the translated page, you can ascertain the fidelity of the translation, ensuring that the nuances and intricacies of the content are effectively conveyed in your preferred language.

In addition to linguistic fidelity, consider the overall layout and formatting of the translated page. Safari endeavors to maintain the visual integrity of the webpage during the translation process, preserving the structure, images, and multimedia elements to provide a seamless and immersive browsing experience. By evaluating the layout and visual presentation of the translated page, you can appreciate the attention to detail and the commitment to delivering a cohesive and engaging browsing experience across languages.

Furthermore, take note of any contextual or cultural references within the translated content. Safari's translation feature aims to capture the essence and cultural nuances embedded in the original text, ensuring that the translated page resonates with the cultural context of the specified language. By acknowledging and appreciating these cultural elements, you can immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of global perspectives and narratives, transcending linguistic boundaries and fostering a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and traditions.

Let's continue our exploration of webpage translation with Safari, unlocking the potential of language accessibility and inclusivity.

Step 5: Adjust Translation Settings (if necessary)

After reviewing the translated page, you may find the need to adjust the translation settings to further enhance your browsing experience. Safari offers a range of customization options that allow you to tailor the translation process to align with your preferences and linguistic needs.

One of the key settings you can adjust is the preferred language for translation. If you initially selected a specific language for translation but wish to explore the content in another language, Safari enables you to seamlessly switch to a different language. By accessing the translation settings, you can select an alternative language, prompting Safari to promptly re-translate the webpage into the newly specified language. This flexibility empowers you to engage with web content in diverse languages, catering to your evolving linguistic interests and exploration.

Additionally, Safari provides the option to enable or disable automatic translation for specific websites. If you frequently visit certain websites that are available in languages other than your preferred language, you can choose to enable automatic translation for those sites. This feature ensures that whenever you revisit the website, Safari automatically translates the content into your specified language, streamlining the browsing experience and eliminating the need to manually initiate the translation process.

Moreover, Safari's translation settings encompass the ability to manage and customize language preferences. You can add or remove languages from the list of preferred languages, allowing you to curate a personalized selection of languages for seamless translation. This level of customization ensures that Safari caters to your multilingual needs, facilitating effortless access to web content in languages that resonate with you.

Furthermore, Safari offers the option to adjust the display of original and translated text simultaneously. By toggling this setting, you can choose to view the original text alongside the translated version, facilitating comparisons and linguistic analysis. This feature is particularly valuable for language learners, researchers, and individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of the nuances and intricacies of different languages.

As you navigate the translation settings within Safari, take advantage of the diverse customization options to tailor the translation experience to align with your linguistic preferences and browsing habits. The seamless integration of these settings underscores Safari's commitment to enhancing language accessibility and inclusivity, empowering users to engage with web content in a manner that resonates with their individual linguistic journey.

With the translation settings adjusted to suit your preferences, you're poised to embark on a seamless and enriching browsing experience, transcending linguistic barriers and embracing the global connectivity facilitated by Safari's robust translation capabilities. As you continue to explore web content in diverse languages, the customizable translation settings serve as a testament to Safari's dedication to fostering a rich and inclusive browsing environment, where language is a bridge to knowledge, understanding, and global connectivity.

Permission to veiw my passwords.

I took a screenshot, but cant add it... This plugin gives its self permision to veiw my accounts and passwords? WHY? I dont even, I have no idea why that would be benifical to this app? what, for translating them? I mean that makes no sense! I dont feel okay with using this app and hope I deleted it in time...

Developer Response ,

Dear user, The app is reviewed and tested by Apple, so it is not harmful at all for your browsing experience. Actually, all your Safari extensions (like Evernote, AdBlocker and so on) will have the same description there, this is the standard. You can download other extensions from the App Store and you will see that the same label will appear. Back to my app: the extension can access your webpage just to be able to make it’s job/features, but the extension is not collecting any information, is not accessing any information from your browser, it’s not monitoring anything or sending data over the Internet in any way. It's very safe. The only reason the label is there is because the extension must access your loaded webpage in order to change it. Also, it's reviewed and tested by Apple in order to enter the App Store and they do not allow apps or extensions that collect information about you. You can also review the privacy terms from here (the In a Nutshell section is enough): https://alexdenk.eu/privacy-safari-extensions.html So keep using the extension with confidence.

The app is fast-ish (not always) and reliable. BUT and it's a big but...it WILL translate the original text as well if you are trying to see what a word means. For exaple, lets say you translate a paragraph and you're reading it and want to know what the original word was so you highligh and select to see it (that is a feature of the app). It will show the current translated word and the original but ONLY translated so you will see the same word twice (for example, cocinar----cocinar). It will appear exactly like this and this haappens when the app is set to auto. There is no way to undo this.

Works well!

The full page translator website google offers (but makes increasingly hard to find) sometimes doesn't load the images on a page, and it's not ideal to have to find that website every time. I'm a safari user because it's the browser with the lowest impact on my system, and this integrates well.

Webpage Translation in Safari on Mac

Safari analyzes each webpage you visit to determine its language. This determination is made entirely on your device. If the webpage can be translated to any of your preferred languages, you can choose to translate it. If you translate, Safari sends the webpage’s contents (including the full text) to Apple’s servers for translation. After the translation is complete, Apple discards the contents of the webpage.

Note: The availability of translations and the number of languages that can be translated may vary by country or region.

If the webpage was not viewed in Private Browsing mode, then Safari also sends the webpage’s address to Apple. Apple stores the address for up to 5 years to improve Apple’s products, services, and technologies. Since Apple does not store the contents of webpages you translate, only publicly accessible webpages are used to improve Apple’s products, services, and technologies.

Webpage contents and addresses sent to Apple aren’t associated with your Apple ID , email address, or other data Apple may have from your use of other Apple services.

In order to provide you with a better browsing experience, after translating a particular webpage, other webpages in the same domain that you visit within the same tab may also be translated. Safari stops automatically translating when you visit a webpage that is no longer in the same original language, or a webpage on a different domain.

Google chrome gets second emergency update in a week as new exploit confirmed.

Share to Facebook
Share to Twitter
Share to Linkedin

Google has suddenly issued another critical warning—the second in just a few days—as an active threat is discovered; here’s what you need to do...

Urgent warning issued for 2 billion Chrome users

Updated 5/15; originally published 5/14.

Google has issued another urgent update, bringing Chrome’s Stable channel to 124.0.6367.207/.208 for Mac and Windows, as another zero day is anonymously reported and patched. Just as last week, users are warned that “Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2024-4761 exists in the wild.”

This vulnerability impacts Chrome’s V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine, enabling “a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page.” The severity of the threat is set as “high,” but with this being exploited, it is critical users update and relaunch as soon as they can.

An “out-of-bounds” write issue means that crafted software can attack a device’s memory in unexpected ways, and this can cause stability issues, crash the program or device, or even enable other malicious code to run. Such memory issues are a recurring problem when it comes to Chrome vulnerabilities.

‘Fallout’ Dethroned In Amazon Prime Video’s Top 10 List By A New Offering

Trump accepts biden s challenge to debate twice starting next month, core inflation hit 3 year low in april but remains well above historic target.

This is the sixth such zero day already this year.

As usual, no further details have been published as users are urged to update. “Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix.”

Just as last week, the fact that an emergency release has been issued and warnings are appearing across various media outlets should be warning enough to the 2 billion desktop users to either update manually or check the automatic update has been applied and then restart the browser.

Chrome is an excellent browser, notwithstanding the ongoing tracking issues that have plagued its balancing act between user privacy and marketing machine for years. But given its ubiquity, especially for Windows users, it is a powerful attack surface when exploits are developed.

Instructions on how to update Chrome can be found here .

Update 5/15: Notwithstanding the awkward optics of two emergency updates inside a week, or the latest delay in depreciating tracking cookies, Google does seem to be on a mission to improve Chrome’s security, with such initiatives as addressing common memory issues with its V8 sandbox and session cookie theft with its clever new Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) approach.

And the reason this is all so critical was very apparent at Google I/O this week, with the confirmation that the company’s Gemini AI is being built into Chrome, making this one of its biggest bets. The update will even see Nano used for on-device generative AI activities, such as helping users write text.

As reported by The Verge , “Google also announced that it will make Gemini available in Chrome DevTools, which developers use to debug and tune their apps. Gemini can provide explanations for error messages as well as suggestions on how to fix coding issues.”

As Chrome’s product director Jon Dahlke told developers at the event, “our vision to give you the most power AI models in Chrome to reach billions of users without having to worry about prompt engineering, fine-tuning, capacity and cost. All you have to do is call a few high-level APIs – translate, caption, transcribe. This is a big shift for the web and we want to get it right.”

The heady world of AI is set to change the web experience for billions, whether that’s browsing, creation or search. And with six zero days already this year for Chrome’s billions of users to contend with, this “big shift for the web” will carry major security concerns that Google needs to get right.

The security industry doesn’t yet understand how the AI-fueled threat landscape will develop; but it will find out soon enough, and the impact on you and the software you use will be huge...

iPhone Emulators on the App Store: Game Boy, N64, PS1, PSP, and More

In April, Apple updated its guidelines to allow retro game emulators on the App Store, and several popular emulators have already been released.

A list of some popular emulators available on the App Store so far follows.

Supported Devices:

iPad support is coming soon .

Supported Consoles:

Game Boy (all models)
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
Nintendo 64 (N64)

Commodore 64
PlayStation (PS1)
PlayStation Portable (PSP)
SEGA Genesis
SEGA Saturn

RetroArch's full list of supported consoles is in the app's description on the App Store .

Coming Soon

Provenance is another frontend with all-in-one access to emulators for consoles from Atari, Nintendo, SEGA, Sony, and others. The app is currently available in beta via TestFlight, and it will be launching on the App Store soon . Provenance has been in development since 2016, and it could already be sideloaded on the iPhone.

ColecoVision
SEGA Dreamcast

A full list of supported consoles is available on Provenance's website .

The popular GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin will not be available in the App Store, as its developers said Apple will not allow the emulator to use just-in-time (JIT) compilation, and PowerPC-based games are "basically unplayable" without it:

The GameCube and Wii have a PowerPC-based CPU inside them. All modern Apple devices use an ARM-based CPU. It isn't possible to directly run PowerPC code on an ARM CPU, and vice versa. Therefore, if we want to run a GameCube or Wii game on an iPhone, it is necessary to translate the game's PowerPC code to ARM so that the CPU can understand it. Dolphin uses something called a Just-in-Time (JIT) recompiler to achieve this. Whenever the emulated console wants to run game code, Dolphin will use its JIT to translate the PowerPC code to ARM, and then execute the results. Unfortunately, Apple generally does not allow apps to use JIT recompilers on iOS.

Edit: Actually wouldn't mind OpenEMU which works really well on a Mac to find its way to iOS. I love the fact that you can download "cores" to enable gameplay from different retro consoles/etc.

This is not a good thing. My productivity has gone down, and my time spent in the bathroom has gone up since emulators were permitted in the App Store.

No Amiga emulator… yet.
