**Better xCloud** supports macOS, iOS, and iPadOS with Safari. Moved to https://better-xcloud.github.io/safari/
To use it with Safari, you have to install the [Userscripts extension](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/userscripts/id1463298887) (free & open-source).
But this extension has [one big issue](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/issues/81): it doesn't always work as intended (due to the limitation of Safari).
To work around this problem, I've implemented a feature that **Better xCloud** will automatically refresh the page until it works. If you see a message like this screenshot below, just wait for the page to reload. It usually takes 1-2 times maximum.

That's why, on macOS, I recommend using Chrome/Edge browser + Tampermonkey extension for the best experience + stream quality (you won't be able to use the high-quality codec in Safari).
## How to install on Safari
1. Install the [Userscripts extension](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/userscripts/id1463298887).
2. Install **Better xCloud** with Userscripts extension: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/releases (click on the `better-xcloud.user.js` file)
## Other limitations
- Extension only works in the browser. It's not available in PWA mode (the shortcut you created using "Add to Home Screen" prompt). Installing **Better xCloud** successfully will disable this prompt, allowing you to use it in the browser.
- Fullscreen mode is not available in the browser. You can only minimize the address bar.
- It doesn't support Mainline codec profile, which provides a higher quality stream than the default one (Baseline profile).
- The "Clarity" feature (increase sharpness) doesn't work in Safari.
- Battery badge doesn't work.
If you want to have the best xCloud experience, play it on Android phone/tablet if possible.
