    How much 'System Data' does your Mac Have?

    I'm trying to live with my 128GB 2017 MacBook Pro. Every time I have to run a software update I usually have to uninstall programs and delete all my extra files. It's really a pain in the butt; but what's MORE annoying is that macOS uses most of my drive. Is this a lot for 'System Data'...

    Can't login on Reddit in Safari

    I'm not able to log in to Reddit on Safari on the latest RC. It works fine on iOS and iPadOS with the very same set of credentials. On Mac it works with third party browsers (Brave Browser). Any idea what might be the cause?

    Can chrome make use of keychain passwords

    Is there a way that MacOS can fill in passwords in Chrome? I don't really want to export my passwords to Chrome if I can avoid it, as I would rather not have all my passwords in my iCloud and Google account. (I have to use Chrome for Work, but use Safari for most other things). If I did decide...

    Anytime one is in a Save Dialog the blue "item info" is displayed under files and folders, even though it's turned off in the Finder (See Picture Below) This wasn't the case in previous versions of macOS. Can anyone confirm if they have the same behavior or if it's a bug? Thanks
