    Touch Bar and Safari - Favourites

    Anyone found a fix for this minor issue? Favourites usually show up in Safari on the touch bar as icons, but if you have two icons that are the same (e.g. different parts of the same website), then it shows the name as well, which takes up too much space. So, if I have BBC News and BBC Sport as...

    My 89-year old father-in-law is in the early stages of dementia and uses his credit card to buy a lot of random unnecessary crap online. I wrote this Safari .js extension to pop-up a warning when he opens a new window, warning him about using his credit card. function watchOut() {...

    Safari Changing Color Saturation

    I noticed that when going back/forward that the page loads and then a second later it desaturates slightly. At first I thought I was just losing my mind, but I was able to recreate it. I'm using a 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and running Sierra. Here you can see a page looking desaturated on...

    Spinning Beach Ball - Help me keep PEACE in my house

    Is there any method of determining what causes a 2016 MacBookAir to very frequently show the beach ball? My wife is extremely impatient with her Air - she constantly complains about the spinning beach ball. She re-starts almost every day. All the apps are latest versions - she really doesn't do...

    Touch Bar discussion [merged]

    Is it just me, or does the touchbar seem to make no sense when it comes to actual usability? When you use any laptop, your focus is on the screen. When you have a touchscreen, you can see what you want to touch, and touch it directly. When you've got keys on a keyboard, you know where you...

    PDFs not rendering from Safari on either iOS or Sierra after latest updates

    i just got off the phone with apple support and it appears this is not exclusive to my new MacBook Pro, although it is a new and developing issue. When I try to download a file from a website through safari, it only downloads a partial portion of the PDF. This same issue is occurring on both my...

And the circle goes under the tab sometimes. 2)Youtube skip ads. With your media scroller you can skip through the youtube ads. I like it but it is a bug...

    Safari fast in the morning sloooow at evening

    Hello to you all, Has this ever happened to some other one? Safari 10.0.1 on my late 2012 i5 24g RAM El Capitan is blazing fast in the morning but speed steadily decreases during the day to being very slow in the evening. To the point that links open after a 2-3- seconds halt. Unfortunately this...

    Safari - Beachball when clicking on saved password fields.

    Did a search and noticed a few people on Sierra had this but no answer yet. Will file a radar with Apple but worth posting here too. It doesn't happen on all my Sierra computers, in fact it only happens on the new MacBook Pro, which I restore from a Carbon Copy Clone of my 'old' MacBook Pro...

    iOS 10.1.1 - Safari Reload Loop and Crash - Help?

    The past few days Safari has been an absolute turd. Navigating to a web page triggers the "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded" and it goes into a spastic loop which crashes Safari after 20-30 reloads. I have never seen this behavior before in nearly 10 years of iPhone...

I think it is: AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\login data. Anyway, can you do something like...

    Youtube page on Chrome is really really slow

    I understand Chrome on Mac runs not as good as Safari does, I do understand, but even youtube runs badly doesn't make sense at all. The Safari on Mac (Im now on macOS Sierra) runs everything smoothly, including youtube pages. The chrome, on the other hand, is not that perfect, but still way...
