    Safari, Firefox, Chrome or Edge?

    I noticed over the years Safari is not as fast as it used to be and does not render pages as smoothly as it once did. I prefer not to use Chrome for a myriad of reasons (I use it at work, that's about it). I love Firefox but I can't make it my preferred browser on iOS. Edge, not sure yet. What...

    Resolved Safari 12 not showing frequently visited sites

    As described in the title, Safari (12.1.1) under Mojave does not show my frequently visited sites. I've tried turning the option on and off, doesn't help (the function works just fine on my iPhone, iPad and my older MBP under El Capitan). Does anybody know what to do? Is there a preference file...

    YouTube stopped working (?)

    My parents own a MacBook Pro. They love to watch all kinds of YouTube videos on it through the Safari web browser. This past weekend, for no reason I can find, the YouTube homepage (and any YouTube video link I send to them) stopped responding. When I try typing in the YouTube homepage into...

    iPhone Safari Auto-Launching Reader View

    Latest iOS on XS - but have been experiencing this for at least 3 months. Anyone else’s Safari insta-defaulting to Reader View upon completed page loads? Every time I load a page, within 1-2 seconds (if not faster) the view automatically switches to Reader View. Kind of annoying. Enough so that...

    Safari asking for master password....a lot

    Safari "loses" tabs sometimes on restart

    I have Safari set up so it reloads all previous windows/tabs when it launches. But sometimes, very randomly, it "loses" tabs... What I mean by this is, e.g. if I had a tab with an article from xyz.com open when I quit or shutdown, when I relaunch safari or restart my computer, I'll notice that...

    Will bookmarks sync from older OSes?

    I posted this on ASC with 0 reactions so trying my luck here. According to the minimum system requirements Safari bookmarks should sync across devices. I run 10.7.5 with Safari 5.1.7 on one of partitions of the drive and my iPhone runs iOS 12.2. On both devices it's the same AppleID account...

    Safari really maxing out CPU on certain sites

    Maybe this is normal? Using Safari 12.1 on macOS 10.14.4. I've been finding on certain sites like CNN.com, Safari really bogs down and I get a beachball. I installed the Intel Power Gadget on both my 2017 MacBook (base M3 + 16GB RAM) and 2018 MacBook Pro TB (base i5 + 16GB RAM). Seems like...

    Safari mouse click highlight

    Anyone know how to remove this blue color mouse click highlight on webpages? It only appears on websites with dropdown menus. This behavior is similar to the keyboard tab navigation but for mouse click. This started after 10.14.4 update. This only happens in Safari not Chrome or Firefox.

    Safari Dark Mode has a white background?

    Sometimes while doing design or photo work you need to view an image by itself in Safari. When viewing an image in a Safari window there is no HTML so the background color around the image is white. But, when Mojave is in Dark Mode the Safari background is still white. Why isn't the...

    Safari 12.1 is crashing constantly. Possible to downgrade to prior version?

    I have a 2013 Retina 13 running High Sierra. Yesterday I upgraded to Safari 12.1. The description sounded like a minor update, so I just went ahead and did it. It has ruined Safari. Safari is now crashing constantly without any warning, multiple times per hour. I'm very lucky if I can get 15...

    Safari repeatedly requests keychain password to autopopulate web site passwords

    After updating to 10.14.4, now Safari is asking me repeatedly for my keychain password to autofill passwords into web sites. How can I get this to be less frequent, or as before it didn't require me to do it each time??

    Updated my two Macbook Pro laptops to 10.14.4, and Safari 12.1, and I have my two 2010 Mac Pros still on 10.13.6 since I don't have appropriate video cards in them to upgrade. Now on my Macbook Pro laptops, whenever I have autofill of a username/password on my laptop, it's requiring my system...
