    Safari keeps using DuckDuckGo even though it is set to use Google

    If I type a search into the address / search bar on Safari it takes me to DuckDuckGo. I have checked the settings / preferences and Google is set as my chosen search engine. I have tried selecting Yahoo, Bing etc but all have the same outcome. I don’t suppose anyone has any ideas why this is...

    Insanely high and random CPU usage

    I have a base model mid-2017 nTB MacBook Pro. For the most part, I'm satisfied, but there were a couple occasions when the fans kicked on really loudly because of CPU usage. The first major time it did this, I had maybe two applications running, and Safari maybe had 3-4 tabs. The second major...

    I use the iCloud tabs feature very often on my MacBook pro. Recently I accidentally it the "x" to the left of the name of my iPhone.
