    Is Google Chrome HIPAA compliant? Or do they harvest that data too?

    I avoid Google products. Aside from YouTube and Waze I'm pretty much able to avoid their stuff because of how bad they are with privacy. A healthcare provider now requires a family member to do telehealth using Chrome. Their system doesn't play well with Safari; indeed, we weren't even able to...

    Resolved Why is Google Chrome aware of my Apple devices? When I open Google Chrome, the "Window" menu lists "Move to <device>" options that name my devices.

    In Google Chrome, the Window menu includes the "Move to <device>" option, which names my iPhone and iPad. For example: Window > "Move to <iPad name>". Why does Chrome have awareness of these devices? I use Chrome rarely and don't log into anything when I'm in Chrome, not my Apple account, not...

    Google Chrome bad, Safari also bad

    I have a problem guys. I have been using Google Chrome for the past couple of years. Recently though, it started to drain my battery so fast to the point my MBP M1 was just unusable without plugged in. It would even heat up which I have never experienced. Well since a week I have been using...

    iPad Pro Smaller fonts in Chrome?

    Any ideas how to make the zoom / font size smaller in Chome on an IPP (2020) 12.9” (doubt that makes any difference). I don’t mean pinch zoom I mean the actual font size. As an example, I use Salesforce an in Safari everything is laid out as if on a desktop with tiles in the right place, open...

    Hello, So I've owned my MacBook Pro for a few years now. It is the non-touchbar version 13 inch of the MacBook Pro's released in 2017 and I'm very surprised because today for the first time in years of owning this wonderful MBP, the fans turned on loudly.

    Google Chrome is hiding file extensions of downloaded images

    As it says on the tin, starting a few weeks ago Google Chrome (75.0.3770.142) defaults to hide file extensions when downloading images. There is a "Hide Extension" tickbox at the lower left of the Save dialogue and it is on by default. This happens only in Chrome. Safari also has this tickbox...

    Heard Google Chrome is getting rid of extensions.

    I remember reading somewhere a few months back that Chrome would be ending support for downloading extensions and I was wondering if there is another alternative on the horizon? Or if that simply means that the current extensions will either no longer be updated or if we’ll need to visit...

    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?
