[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1039111"] No. The serial number, even if it was known by a third party, cannot be used to "do" anything on your Mac. I personally prefer Safari precisely *because* there are fewer add-ons that could give me problems every time some new version comes out. The few add-ons that Safari has are straightforward and to the point. I don't use a web browser because I like pretty-ponies customization or seven zillion bonus abilities, I use a browser to *surf the web* and apart from ad blocking and 1Password (and okay, Evernote) I see very limited point in most add-ons and a lot of potential problems. I also prefer Safari for other reasons but I'm not trying to diss Firefox here: it's a fine browser and I have a copy myself. I'm just not one of those people who feels the need to "mess with" the computer in endless customization. [/QUOTE]
