I love Chrome, but I don't ignore the fact that it 'phones home' and passes data on what I search and browse back to Google. I have nothing to hide so it doesn't really bother me, but those of you who use Chrome for more questionable browsing activities need to be aware that this data is permanently stored and logged. In theory this data could be used against you however extremely unlikely, but it's theoretically possible. So 'peace of mind' all depends on what you are actually doing and whether or not you care that it's all logged on Google's servers.
It goes without saying that everything you do is logged by your ISP anyway. However, Chrome Firefox & Safari should all provide a 'secure' browsing experience.
Wait, so Lion is getting Safari notifications? Sweet! I might just switch back from chrome if it Works well.
I hope Safari will finally stop crashing all
the time now. Has been unstable since Mountain Lion.
I cannot install it on 10.9.3.
This update requires OSX 10.9.2
Odd thing
Hope they sort out the speed issue. Running a fully specced iMac, an MBA & Mavericks and Safari is the slowest browser of Chrome, Firefox, Opera (Firefox being the quickest along with Opera). Safari hangs like a b****. Dont know what Apple have done but Safari it is the last browser I want to use on www. Added to the fact that Chrome has Zenmate added too gives me a more secure net experience and peace of mind.
Um... yeah.
You're doing something wrong.
Try removing all the Safari plugins, extensions, etc. from your Mac and then see if Safari works better.
Incompatible extensions/plugins are the leading cause of issues in Safari, in my experience.
Really? Safari and Firefox is the fastest on my macs, especially my 2012 MBA. Chrome is very laggy for one reason and often crashes.
Oh I can definitely confirm that. Safari continually hangs. If I click any web page the page loading bar scrolls about a third of the way and hangs. The page remains blank. Then as it nears the end of the address bar the page suddenly loads. By that stage I have fired up Chrome and the same webpage and happily viewing what I need to view. I dont have time to hang around for Safari any longer. Doesnt matter what machine I run it on Chrome always out performs it. Never had an issue with Chrome at all and thats with extensions running aswell. Its no more resource hungry than Safari imo. How can it be if it runs faster! Dont know what Apple have done but Safari is a pos.
