For standard Safari (not technology preview) 17.0 on Ventura "Swap Processes on Cross-Site Window Open" is already enabled (and labeled Stable) for me. I did not enable it so it's possible Apple already enabled this and their description of how to enable etc. is out of date.

Edit: The below comment is correct, I was looking at a similarly named item "Swap Processes on Cross-Site Navigation" - it appears this is not enabled by default right now.

I also checked on my iPhone which I just upgraded to 17.1 and the flag is present and already enabled there as well.

Edit: Seems like I got confused by the other very similar feature flag as well.

Also enabled by default for me on macOS 14.1.

Edit: It appears I confused it with a similarly named flag. It doesn't appear to be enabled on macOS yet by default.

They disclosed this vulnerability today but it appears the information on the vuln scare site is outdated. Bit sloppy.

I think users here, including myself, got confused because there is a feature flag that has a similar name.

"Swap Processes on Cross-Site Navigation" is enabled by default, but this paper recommends "Swap Processes on Cross-Site Window Open".
