Article on Safari 13.1 New Features/Improvements
New webkit.org blog post on New WebKit Features in Safari 13.1
"This year's spring releases of Safari 13.1 for macOS Catalina, iPadOS, iOS, and watchOS bring a tremendous number of WebKit improvements for the web across Apple's platforms. All of this with many more updates for improved privacy, performance, and a host of new tools for web developers..."
(I hesitated posting this as I know there's been problem reports on Safari 13.1 (mails/apple forum posts, etc) as well as with the Security Update and/or 10.15.4. Hopefully those that were not able to solve problems had a backup to restore from, or a bootable clone of their previous install.)
