    Hi everyone! I'm having a strange issue where embedded PDFs on a website load the pages, but display as blank. I'm able to open regular PDFs in Safari with no issue, but embedded ones don't show any content. Has anyone come across this issue before? I am running Catalina on a 2011 MacBook Pro...

    I generated a pdf file by accident while browsing Twitter

    Hi everyone, While going through my downloaded files, I found two .pdf files which were essentially screen caps of two complete Twitter threads. But they were not exactly screen caps since they saved not only what was on my screen, but the entire threads. I must've done this by accident...

    Chrome extensions on Mac Safari?

    There was some talk over a year ago about Apple opening up Safari to make it easier for developers to port Chrome extensions to Safari. But since then, it doesn't seem like much is happening. There're still way more Chrome extensions than Safari ones. Does anyone know what's going on? Are...
