You also can click the Feed Reader icon in the Address Field to follow updates from most of your favorite news publishers. There's even a new clear browsing data button in the history panel that can quickly purge your recent browsing history. Meanwhile, on macOS, Geolocation services are making a comeback, powered by Apple Location Services. In address field suggestions, you will have more choices to prioritize the order of the drop-down menu, tailoring it to your specific needs. There are a lot of other changes in the 6.2 release, too.
