Safari needs some improvements for developers

Safari is better than it used to be for development work but there are still a couple of major things that need fixed. I'm going to narrow it down to the 2 biggest issues I experience as a developer who REALLY doesn't want to switch to Chrome.

  1. Network throttling

We need to have the ability to throttle the network in Safari so that we can see how users with slower internet will experience our website/web apps.

  1. TLD ".test" domains

Right now when you enter a .test domain in the address bar it goes to a google search instead of the address. The only way to have it actually go to the address is to add https:// in front of the .test domain. You might say this isn't a big deal, but then when you are on your .test domain and add anything to the URL, it goes to a Google search again. This is infuriating.

If these 2 issues were fixed I believe Safari would make a huge leap in developer experience.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Network throttling

Isn't this what Network Link Conditioner is for?
