Safari wants to fix your broken web browsing experience with its new 'distraction control' feature

Safari icon.

Apple seemingly didn’t fit all of its new Safari features into its jam-packed WWDC 2024 keynote in June, as it's just announced ‘one more thing'. Alongside updates to Reader, a new web page summary tool called 'Highlights', and 'Viewer' (for making watching videos less of a chore), Apple also wants to help clean up web pages. 

Dubbed 'Distraction Control', Safari will now let you select elements on a web page, like a pop-up to enroll your phone number for a discount code, hide it, and remember that you want it hidden.
