  text-wrap: balance

As someone who appreciates typography, that's a very nice addition.

Off-topic: I can only hope that both "text-box-trim" and "margin-trim" come to all browsers soon, since they would be meaningful improvements in web typography.

Can we please bring back the one-click "Disable Javascript" feature in the Develop menu?

It didn’t go away — it moved. You can disable JS per website in Web Inspector. That way you can disable JS from the site you are building, while being able to use Safari with JS to look things up on other websites.

wasm-gc when? Chrome and Firefox merged support months ago. So much cool tech is waiting on it.
