    iOS 10.1.1 iPhone 6s+ Ever since the first public release of iOS 10, Safari has been slow for me, and worse: if I switch tabs or switch apps momentarily, Safari goes all white and is apparently frozen or dead. Only swiping it away in the app switcher, and relaunching, will fix it. And it's a...

    Safari vs Chrome Security and Privacy: Which is better?

    Safari vs Chrome Security and Privacy: Which is better? I am looking to see what people think about Safari (9 to 10+) and Chrome (Version 52+) in regards to security and privacy.
