The quality of the MacOS software has taken a nose dive the last years. Especially with Catalina we have nothing but constant problems with many Macs in a business environment.

If you have any questions about both the Re-Released 2020-005 Security update and the new 10.14.6 Supplemental Update, I have answers for you!
This is my follow-up article. I tried to test every install scenario that I could think of. Let me know if I've missed one.
Mojave Supplemental Update (Safari 14) Released to Fix Previous Issues
Apple just released the Mojave 10.14.6 "Supplemental Update" which is a new version of Safari 14.0. It fixes previous 2020-005 & 14.0 issuesmrmacintosh.com
for the macpro5,1 crowd, there is always this:
OpenCore on the Mac Pro
This guide explains how to use the excellent OpenCore boot loader to install, run, and update the latest version of macOS on the MacPro5,1, resulting in a clean, unaltered operating system just like on a supported Mac.forums.macrumors.com
personally i am a mojave person... and will stay there as long as possible. i had applied this update to 2 machines but not my other two. don't use either machine that much so can't say if i've had problems with the security update.
Clover EFI is much easier to configure for those older macs. Clover has been around forever, so its very mature.
It looks like the "macOS Supplemental Update" is a replacement of the Safari 14 update for Mojave, plus some tweaks....it should be available as a manual download from support.apple.com/downloads at some point
Why are folks still on Mojave?
Reinstalling 2020-005 from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2053 resolves the issues. I am so glad, this madness is over. What a terrible week this was.Have others experienced trouble on High Sierra after installing 2020-005 supplement update? The past week has been the worst with one kernel panic after the other resulting in random reboots, endless recovery attempts, single login working, back to kernel panic. Not sure how to get out of this loop. Will try to login via recovery and install the updated supplement update I guess.
It would be nice if they could push out an update to Safari for Catalina. I've had to switch to Firefox. Safari 14 has caused so many issues for me on Catalina. It eats up CPU like there's no tomorrow. Youtube is completely unusable.
The installer is 32bit.Why wouldn't you? Photoshop even CS5 and CS6 are 64bit and should run on Catalina.
Catalina is a pain in the ass.Because Catalina.
I currently have Mojave 10.14.6 (sec update 2020-004) and Safari 13.1.2 on my 2010 Mac Pro installed.
The questions is if I install Sec update 2020-005 with the supplemental Update, will I automatically get Safari 14?
By whom? Literally no Apple commentators say that, and Apple certainly don't.But we're told that everything Apple does is perfect
Now fixed for me. What I did:MAS issue? I have one too: third party apps refuses to update since about two weeks. Is it the same for you?

I'm also in the "to use Photoshop CS6" group. I absolutely WILL NOT buy subscriptions to software.
YES, this is what I tried to call out but might need to make it more clear. You can Instal the 2020-005 security update without the Supplemental Update (Safari 14) and be fine.I currently have Mojave 10.14.6 (sec update 2020-004) and Safari 13.1.2 on my 2010 Mac Pro installed.
The questions is if I install Sec update 2020-005 with the supplemental Update, will I automatically get Safari 14?
And if there is a way to install the Security update without installing Safari 14.0 which I don't want for reasons of UI degradation.
I heard 32 lives keeps a lot of them going. Don't bet the farm on it though.Ask anyone using Logic Pro, some of us still have ancient plugins that won't run under Catalina
Because it's fast, power efficient, and integrates best with other Apple services.Why are folks still on Safari?
But we're told that everything Apple does is perfect and while we're in their ecosystem, we just have to love it as well. I just love waking up each morning and having my tabs displaying nothing but a message saying the tab was reloaded because it was using significant energy. That's and playing with the beachball is the best part of my day.
