    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...

    Can't take it anymore: iOS 10 Safari drove me to Chrome

    iOS 10.1.1 iPhone 6s+ Ever since the first public release of iOS 10, Safari has been slow for me, and worse: if I switch tabs or switch apps momentarily, Safari goes all white and is apparently frozen or dead. Only swiping it away in the app switcher, and relaunching, will fix it. And it's a...

    Cant Clear Website Data

    So when i go into Safari>preferences>privacy and then manage website data, i go to remove all the data and it just comes right back. How do I get all of this gone? I have "allow from current website only" enabled. Confused as to why these cookies keep coming back seconds after I clear everything.

    Safari: Turn off 'autoplay' by default?

    'Autoplay' is used increasingly on websites streaming videos. I come across it on News pages: BBC, New York Times and others and it's become an irritant having to switch it off each time you want to view a single item. I can't find a user control to stop it globally in Safari. Is there...

    Why is Safari asking me to allow Adobe Flash Player for unexpected sites (e.g., MacRumors, PayPal)?

    Lately, I've been receiving the prompt, "Do you want to trust the website '[URL of website]' to use the 'Adobe Flash Player' plug-in" prompt from Safari for sites that don't appear to require it (e.g., MacRumors, PayPal). Whether I click "trust" or "not now" seems to make no difference in the...
