When you open Safari

12
00:00:30,208 --> 00:00:32,081
it's a smart engine that gives you a snapshot
13
00:00:32,083 --> 00:00:34,915

14
00:00:34,916 --> 00:00:37,956

tells you that new content has been added
19
00:00:48,748 --> 00:00:50,748

25
00:01:04,415 --> 00:01:07,331

30
00:01:17,836 --> 00:01:19,206
