    Safari asking for master password....a lot

    Is there a way to disable Safari from asking for my master password every time I need to enter a password? This is very irritating...if there isn't a way to disable it, I'm moving to Firefox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law

What I mean by this is, e.g. if I had a tab with an article from xyz.com open when I quit or shutdown, when I relaunch safari or restart my computer, I'll notice that...

    Safari mouse click highlight

    Anyone know how to remove this blue color mouse click highlight on webpages? It only appears on websites with dropdown menus. This behavior is similar to the keyboard tab navigation but for mouse click. This started after 10.14.4 update. This only happens in Safari not Chrome or Firefox.

    Safari Dark Mode has a white background?

    Sometimes while doing design or photo work you need to view an image by itself in Safari. When viewing an image in a Safari window there is no HTML so the background color around the image is white. But, when Mojave is in Dark Mode the Safari background is still white. Why isn't the...

    I have a 2013 Retina 13 running High Sierra. Yesterday I upgraded to Safari 12.1. The description sounded like a minor update, so I just went ahead and did it. It has ruined Safari. Safari is now crashing constantly without any warning, multiple times per hour. I'm very lucky if I can get 15...

    Safari repeatedly requests keychain password to autopopulate web site passwords

    After updating to 10.14.4, now Safari is asking me repeatedly for my keychain password to autofill passwords into web sites. How can I get this to be less frequent, or as before it didn't require me to do it each time??

    Safari Freezing

    Cannot quite pin this one down. Browsing any site more than occasionally of late my Safari freezes. Hitting refresh will clear it or hitting forward if I have just hit back. The reverse is also true. Cannot find a reason for this but it is happening more often:( Any ideas? Regards

    Stop autoplay videos in Safari

    I know that Safari can stop autoplay videos on the Mac, but can it do it on iOS? My searches have turned up nothing. I find it annoying that my music gets hijacked by these autoplay videos.
