macOS Golden Gate: Sidebars, Safari AI, and Tab Organization

At 48:08 · chapter starts 41:00

MacOS gets a new name — Golden Gate — and with it a set of thoughtful productivity improvements. The biggest for power users: the Mac finally remembers which apps were on which monitor when you unplug and replug displays, a pain point Windows solved years ago. Sidebars now extend to the screen edge, making better use of available real estate. Safari gains the ability to generate custom browser extensions from plain-English descriptions, surfacing App Store alternatives first if they exist but building from scratch on demand — a move the crew sees as potentially reviving Safari's developer ecosystem. AI-powered tab grouping can organize open tabs by semantic topic, though the logic around ambiguous content (a Google Doc about cats near a pet store tab) remains unclear. Safari also adds a webpage-change monitoring feature — check once daily for updates — which the crew agrees is too slow for concert ticket scalping but useful for low-stakes monitoring.
