  2. Hey Dan! I have added a web app using Safari's new functionality in Sonoma. When I access the domain/website from an email I'm presented with an option in safari to open the link in the web app I created (like you demo'd here.) I'd like to be able to automatically accept this suggestion instead of having to click the "open" button but I don't see where that is an option. Are you aware of any workarounds?

  7. This has been a feature of Chrome browser for so long. It is also the reason why I keep using Google Chrome in Mac because it is so convenient. I am glad that Apple finally implements this damn thing in Safari.
