Error message

{} not available for download

What it means

Returned by SafariTPManager::get_driver_url(). Safari Technology Preview's safaridriver is local (inside the .app bundle) and is never downloaded, so the method errors by design. The placeholder is the driver name.

Solutions

1. Install Safari Technology Preview from Apple and use its bundled safaridriver.
2. Do not request a download for SafariTP; rely on the local driver path.
3. If SafariTP is unavailable, switch to the stable Safari manager.

When it happens

Trigger: Any code path that calls get_driver_url() on the SafariTPManager (safaritp.rs:111-116); the local path is /Applications/Safari Technology Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/safaridriver.

Common situations: Safari Technology Preview not installed but selected as the browser; a flow that tries to download the TP driver instead of using the local one.
