    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...

    Amazon giveaway popups on Safari/Chrome browsers!

    Any way to stop this? I downloaded adblock from the appstore, turned popups on and off (and back on again) in both the settings for Safari/Chrome, and deleted the web data/history on Safari that I read about in a Google search. What's causing this? It's quite annoying.

    Is Safari faster than Chrome in macOS 10.14?

    Is it worth to install Chrome on my Mac Mojave (MBP 2018/32/1TB)? How fast is Safari and how energy efficient it is compared to Chrome? Thanks!

    Should I install Google Chrome on New MBP?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro. Should I delete Google Chrome on my old MacBook Pro before migrating to my new MacBook Pro? Should I let Google Chrome "poison" my new pristine MacBook Pro.....or get rid of Google Chrome before migration? Thoughts?

    Safari is lost to me now

    After several decades devotedly using Safari I feel I must say goodbye to it now, as too many hours per day are spent looking at the "Safari Can't Find The Server" error message. It's just that I no longer have the patience to wade through all the "fixes" suggested on various forums. I've tried...

    Google Drive frequently crashes when running in Google Chrome on MacBook Pro 2018 32GB i9

    I have a MacBook Pro 2018 32GB i9. I’m a heavy Chrome user, with usually anywhere from 80-100 windows and 200-250 tabs spread across 5-10 desktop spaces. I realize that this can be tough on a system, however my MacBook Pro 2017 16GB i7 handles the load pretty well. I was hoping for even better...

    Safari CPU usage

    This isn't a complaint, but rather me scratching my head at Chrome and Firefox. I noticed that while watching videos Youtube (which I spend way too much time doing), the fans on my 2012 era Macbook Pro would ramp up like a jet engine. Thinking about it for a moment, I decided to check the CPU...

    Web content is not displayed - just white screen

    Hi, I faced an issue on High Sierra that seems to be similar to problems reported in other threads months or years ago such as White screen of death, Safari does not render pages, but it is slightly different. For some obscure reason any web content on my MacBook turned into white screen. By web...

    iPhone Chrome randomly closes all tabs and leaves no trace

    This has happened to me several times and it is really frustrating. I'll open chrome on my iphone to find that all of my open tabs have suddenly vanished.

    Being informed of e-mail from my wife

    When my wife is out of the house the only reliable way for her to contact me is by e-mail. I'm on Gmail. But when I'm writing on my Mac I don't like to be distracted by the internet and will either minimise the browser, usually Chrome though I'm attracted by Opera, or prevent it from opening...
