Is MAC OS Mojave 10.14.6 still safe to use for going online? I know it's not supported but I still see the lock in the URL bar.
Got a tip for us?

The only shocking thing that I have learned on this forum is that apparently some countries block people from using internet banking if people are not using up to date software.
I guess I was lucky in a sense that one of my older banks sent an email saying that Safari 6 will be officially unsupported from May 2020. No wonder I was able to do my banking in Mac OS X Leopard even using outdated browsers until May 2018 when I discovered MacRumors and Mojave on unsupported Macs thread.

Mac OS Mojave 10.14 was released in 2018, as a result it has finished security updates quite sometime ago. Due to this release has not been patched for security for quite sometime now it maybe quite vulnerable to use. Presently Mac OS Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma are presently receiving security updates. Therefore I would recommend updating to one of these releases for optimal protection against known threats and vulnerabilities. As Mac OS Sonoma has just been released this may result in end of security patches/updates for Big Sur, so maybe update to Monterey, Ventura or Sonoma just to be safe.

I haven't used my mojave for online purposes for a while since my macpro is dedicated for photography work and is only online when needed for programs. That being said, I use my windows 10 via my 2018 mac mini as my primary internet source.
