5 reasons to stop using Safari and switch to another Mac browser, Mac World

[Gerry Cook]

Macworld - Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 3:30 AM
5 reasons to stop using Safari and switch to another Mac browser

Safari is the default browser on every Mac, and it's quite good. Apple has
optimized it for its own chips and the macOS operating system, so it's fast
and syncs nicely to your iPhone and iPad. But there are plenty of other
options out there. You've probably heard of them-Chrome, Firefox, Brave,
DuckDuckGo-but if you're a longtime Safari user, you might not think you
need to stray. Here are five reasons why you might want to try out another
browser on your Mac.
You mostly use Google services

If you tend to use web-based apps and services, you might find the
experiences with those better on a different browser. Apple tends to focus
on its own ecosystem of apps, and the web experience, even for iCloud, isn't
as good as other browsers. For example, Google has several popular web-based
apps, such as Docs, Drive, and Maps, and while they can all be accessed
using Safari, they tend to offer better performance and features when using
Chrome. It's not just Google services that work better in Chrome. Many
services are optimized for Chrome and Firefox before Safari, so you're
likely going to get a better overall experience with another browser.  

If you're fully invested in Google web services, Chrome is the better
browser to use.
Foundry
You want to customize your browser
While Safari does offer several extensions that enhance the browsing
experience, it's nothing compared to what Chrome and Firefox provide. Most
of the popular extensions are on Safari, but it tends to be more likely that
if you're looking to use a web-based third-party extension on your Mac,
there's been more development work on it via Chrome or Firefox. From themes
to games and utilities, the Chrome and Firefox add-on store are filled with
helpful extensions and plug-ins that will make your browser more personal.
Apple does let you customize the Start page with an image and links, but
that's basically it. On other browsers, the sky is the limit. 

Most browsers have support for extensions and plug-ins, but not all
developers create them for every browser.
Foundry
You're a web developer
Something that's been pounded into my head in the recent coding classes I've
been taking is that if you're looking to test new web-based code that you
might be writing (such as HTML, PHP, CSS, Java, JavaScript, and others),
Chrome and Firefox offer the best web browsers to work as litmus tests of
how your code will run once it's published. The open-source community is
fond of Chrome and Firefox, and developers use these browsers as a baseline.
The school of thought is to make sure the code you've been sweating over
runs cleanly in Chrome and Firefox, then test it on Safari and Microsoft
Edge (which is available for macOS).
You value your privacy (a lot)
After years of data hacks and the larger revelation that giant tech firms
have gladly sold your personal data to advertisers, browser companies have
begun to make privacy a critical browser requirement, but if private
browsing isn't enough, there are some excellent options. 
Apple prioritizes privacy with Safari and the company has excellent features
baked into its browser, but it's still very Google search-centric.
DuckDuckGo, which has made a reputation for itself as a privacy-centric
company and has a search engine that works well with Safari, also has a Mac
browser in beta that is built for security and privacy, with locked-down
search, smart encryption, and automatic cookie blocking. And there's also
the Brave browser that blocks ads ad trackers, doesn't use AMP, and has an
independent search engine.

DuckDuckGo's Mac browser is in private beta but the iPhone and Pad browsers
are available in the App Store.
DuckDuckGo
You use more than just Apple devices
Apple has developed Safari in macOS and iOS to the point where the two are
essentially joined so it's become easier to sync content such as bookmarks,
passwords, and browser history between your Mac and iOS devices. This is
fine if you are generally working with Macs, iPhones, and iPads every day.
But if Windows or Linux is part of your workflow, Google's Chrome and
Microsoft's Edge browsers have cross-platform functionality via the Google
or Microsoft Live accounts you create with the respective browsers. This
account is then used to sync your browser settings. 

If you use other platforms other than Apple's using Chrome or Microsoft Edge
will allow you to sync bookmarks and other browser settings.
Foundry
The right tool for the job
No browser stands as the ultimate Swiss army knife for everything you'll
need. No web browser demands that you swear allegiance to it, and the best
course of action is to download and install several web browsers and see
which ones handle your day to day tasks the best. It's a continuous browser
war out there, there are no real winners, and even Microsoft went with an
open-source model to appease its users. Keep this i

 Hello,
 I have an Apple Watch SE 2021 running Watch OS 9.2 linked to an iPhone SE 
 2020 running IOS 16.2.
 Whenever I check the time on my watch it gives me the correct time but 
 tells me that the date is yesterday’s date. I have just used the watch to 
 check the time today Saturday 31 December at 5:12 pm and the watch tells 
 me the correct time but with  the date Friday 30 December. When I check 
 the time around 8:00am tomorrow Sunday 1 January the watch will tell me 
 that the date is Saturday 31 December.
 When I check the date and time on my iPhone both time and date are correct.
 If I power off the watch and restart it the watch then tells me the 
 correct date but then gets it wrong the next day.
 This behaviour started happening after the recent upgrades to Watch OS 9.2 
 and IOS 16.2.
 Is this a bug in Watch OS 9.2 or have I somehow changed a critical Watch 
 setting?
 Many thanks for any ideas.
 Best regards and Happy New Year … Paul Hopewell

automatically add to iTunes to untick/uncheck but since music i’ve been unable 
to,  find it  so someone might correct me if i’m wrong!  thanks.

Re: macos 14 Sonoma

Hi all hope your well!!  I hope that after the release they fix the voiceover 
issue, where after erasing all content and settings your not able to find your 
wifi and not have to have someone direct your finger around the trackpad as 
voiceover keys are graded out except erase mac. I’d certainly like to know what 
others think,  if you can do it on the iPhone you should be able to do it on 
the mac,  Just some thoughts with an m 1 pro silicon mac.

Re: mac app store

Hi Lorry if your using sonoma you can use the sidebar and by interacting with 
the sidebar,  you can find all the categories,  like discover update e.g to me 
the app store doesn’t jump around like it use to! in previous OS’s.

Re: Help with Radiologik

[Gerry Cook]

Hi John i’ve had a little bit of experience with this app you do VO shift space 
bar on continue and all options should be in front of you.  the developer says 
he can’t do anything with this app because apple hasn’t given him the tools to 
make it accessible plus there’s a set of apple scripts from the main menu you 
can install,  I emailed Macinmine who have the unarchiver and he said i should 
talk to dug lee to find out about the apple scripts so see if you like it or 
get rid of it because,  i believe the developer isn’t interested in 
accessibility and voiceover.  ’that’s just my take on it.  Sorry this is a bit 
long but it seemed to me to be a nice app but try it and see. thanks.

 Hi Lorie,
 
 When I open the Kindle app, focus is on the Search field. I need to press 
 Control + Option + Space before entering the search text.
 After entering the text, and pressing Enter, press VO + Right Cursor once 
 and you should be on the Search Grid View Collection.
 Interact with the grid and you should be able to navigate the results.
 
 Alternatively, when you first open the app, repeatedly pressing Tab should 
 move focus over buttons which will allow you to choose how your library is 
 displayed.
 When you tab passed the buttons, focus should move to the list of books. 
 Now you should be able to cursor up and down without needing to use the 
 VoiceOver keys.
 
 If a book is not yet downloaded, press enter to download it.
 If the book is downloaded, then pressing Enter will open the book.
 
 Hope that gets you started.

Hi I've just had experience with the contiguis files in music i copied from my, 
windows box, and e.g if you have say two zero 1's or zero 2's or double 
numbers, you go to the second of these and make sure you have cursor tracking 
off when your marking them. and then press vo f 6 to make sure you've got the 
items you want to fix up. I hope this has helped and i'd like to hear how you

solution to unzipping multipart files

[Gerry Cook]

Hi everyone, I found a solution, to the unzipping multipart  files by trying 
stuffit from the app store, that an apple store person put me on to. when you 
find the file, you want to unzip, you, vo shift m on the file you want to 
unzip, then open with and use the choice stuffit and it anounces the 
decompressed file in folder form, after a few secs, there's a progress 
indicator too, and it seems to be accessible. I was told it only worked, with 
rar files but it, seems it works with most files. when installed  click on the 
don't register button, and your good to go. Thanks everyone, and have a happy 
newyear where ever you are.

Re: Bookmarks in Safari Not Showing

[Gerry Cook]

Hi I had a problem with this about 3 weeks, ago and as a last resort 
successfully! i pressed on the zume button in safari and never lost the 
particular table again, and before that i'd got that message safari busy that, 
you'd got as well, so maybe you could give it a try. All the best.

Re: Voice Over not saying the letter c

[Gerry Cook]

I’d like to come into this one, a couple a weeks ago, i had no feedback with 
the letter, o just using daniel so what i did was went into the home user 
library with command shift g tilda slash library and found files that had to do 
in preferences with voiceover and selected the 8 files sent them to the trash, 
then restarted the computer and the corrupt files were gone when the files were 
regenerated again by restarting the mac I’m curious whether that may fix your 
problem.

Hi all! you can try fn key with f 10 as a toggle that would free up option key 
for something else. All the best.

 You can also use the keyboard commander. For example, I have it set so 
 option-m mutes sounds and speech. To do this:
 
 * Open the VoiceOver Utility and choose Commanders from the Categories 
 table.
 * Select the Keyboard Commander tab, be sure the commander is on by 
 checking the checkbox, and move past the table to the Add button. Activate 
 that button.
 * You will be placed on a text field, even if VoiceOver doesn't tell you 
 so. Press the key to be used (such as M), then vo-right to the menu button.
 * In that menu is a list of commands, sorted into categories. I believe 
 the item you want, Mute VoiceOver, is in the Sounds submenu. Once you find 
 it, hit enter.
 * Hit option-m to make sure things worked (it's a toggle, so hitting it 
 again will bring VO back). If it worked, you can close the Utility. If 
 not, let the list know and we'll try to figure out what happened.

Re: Advice on VO Plist

[Gerry Cook]

Hi Colin I had this happen when i first updated to yosemiti and i went to the 
user library and deleted any of the vo plist files command down arrow to select 
them all and after that all went back to normal, because there could have been 
a currupt speech file and as they re generate that should fix the problem.All 
the best and i hope that helps. then you can check that other box to do with 
the apple scripts.

hi all if everyone sends a message to accessibil...@apple.com or get an apple

column view if you have a lot of files in a folder, it becomes unusable.  It 
works as it should in list view .  Thanks everyone.

When my iPhone battery drops below 20% Voiceover stops working.  Given

to allow Voiceover to continue to work even below the 20% mark.

Re: Lion clean install

Hi shen say if you purchase a new macbook pro from an apple store and they

install? because i plan to get in to it in the next few weeks? I like the 
fact, i can use, a macc straight out of the box with a reasonably good clear

Subject: Lion clean install



Hello,
So I decided to take the plunge today and do a clean installation of Lion.
I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to install Lion. In fact, it 
was so easy the whole process took less than an hour. VoiceOver spoke to 
me the entire time.
So far, I've been using it for about 2 hours. I do feel that a clean 
installation of Lion does make it run a bit more smoothly. I don't think 
it's faster, but just more smooth.

There are 3 small anomalies that I thought were a bit odd.
First, during the installation process, it asked me to set the time zone. 
This was normal. But what was not normal was the fact that it has my city 
preselected. I just have to click "continue".
Second, after installation, I just assumed I need to setup my Bluetooth 
keyboard to work. No, it is already connected and working. How's this 
possible?
I'm quite certain I had erased the hard drive and did a clean 
installation. It's interesting that of all the settings I had, it 
remembered the time zone and my Bluetooth keyboard. Why not my VoiceOver 
settings, or Finder settings?
The third thing is probably more of a problem with Lion. When making 
certain changes in System Preferences, you have to click the Lock button 
to allow you to make changes. When you do this, another dialog window pops 
up asking you to authenticate the administrator account. For some reason, 
when this window pops up, VoiceOver will say that the authentication 
windows is busy and it will stay busy for at least 30 seconds, maybe an 
entire minute. I find this very bizarre. Finally, when it is ready, I can 
type my user name and password.

Anyways, over all, it has been a pleasant surprise so far.

Except for the last 5 minutes. As I was typing this email, Mail quit 
unexpectedly. I've never seen this happen before. But then, when I 
reopened Mail, what a surprise, it saved a draft of my email so I didn't 
lose anything.
For those who are having lots of issues with Lion, especially when the 
user experience is not as good or better than Snow Leopard, I recommend 
considering a clean install.
It is so easy to install. For iTunes, I just copied the music folder to an 
external drive. After installing Lion, I copied it back and my entire 
library is there. Can't get any easier than that.
