We’ll come back to that later.įirst, a little about my set-up. But there was obviously something going on, and I’m not convinced that Safari can’t support Spotify as I’ve seen details of people using the developer tools to switch user agents. If it had included withdrawal of the native app, then I could have seen it being a market-play thing. I wish I knew why Spotify made their change. But this presented me with a bit of a challenge for a particular use case I have. Now I used to be Chrome all the way on both Mac and PC, but since I got a new MacBook Pro last year which actually had what seems to be a reasonable battery life (compared to its nine-ten year old predecessor), I figured a switch to a power optimised native browser was worth considering. The native Mac app was still there, but if you wanted to web it up, you needed another web browser.
They made some changes to stop it working in the Safari browser. Back in 2017, Spotify made a rather curious change to their web player app.
