Safari's New AI Tab Organization Actually Looks Really Useful
Outsource your tab overload to AI.

Apple Intelligence is coming to all of Apple's apps—and it's not just about Siri AI. During its WWDC 2026 keynote, Apple announced tons of prominent new Apple Intelligence-powered features in Safari so you can offload the work of tab management. Meanwhile, the Passwords app is getting a new feature that should make it a lot easier to update compromised passwords.
Apple is simplifying the task of tab management in Safari. If you're the kind of person who has dozens of tabs open at a time, you will empathize. In macOS 27, Apple will use Apple Intelligence to automatically sort and categorize all your tabs based on topics: Apple Intelligence analyzes the page's content using AI and groups it based on subject. As you browse, new tabs you open will automatically be sorted into the correct tab group. And Apple promises that your browsing data will remain private, and won't be used to train AI systems.

There's also a really neat new feature called Notify Me. It can monitor a webpage in the background, on your behalf, and send you a notification when there's a change or an update. You just provide the context for what kind of update you're looking for (in plain text) and how often to check for updates. When the web page is updated with changes that match your request, you'll instantly get a notification—for example, when registration for an event opens, or when a product comes back in stock.
Most interestingly, Apple teased that you will be able to vibe-code your own Safari extensions, using a text prompt to add features to a web page, or to customize a page. It will be interesting to see how well this actually works in practice, but it sounds pretty cool.

Safari will also integrate with the Passwords app to help you automatically update passwords for websites that might be compromised. Once the Passwords app flags an issue, you can hand over the task of actually doing the tedious part of resetting your passwords over to Apple Intelligence. Acting agentically, it will open the websites and change the password on your behalf, all in the background.
