[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1820894, member: 204485"] I'm with you Dennis, I stopped using Safari about 8 years ago on Snow Leopard I think it was and swapped to Chrome after persevering with Netscape a bit longer. It was such an improvement I never went back, until now. After becoming a bit concerned about how invasive Google was becoming I switched to Firefox but the recent versions have put me off. So, now I'm back on Safari and it really is a much improved app. I'm using the free AdGuard extension for Safari and the combination works very well after a little tweaking of the AdGuard preferences. I've ditched Ghostery and all my other Ad Blokers and use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. All together it's a pretty good package. As for this site when opened in Safari from an email notification I get the option to open the post in the Mac-Forums app which is great on the iPad and iPhone. As for Brave, I have tried it but was not impressed. Like many early browsers it just can't open some sites. Alternatively I would give Vivaldi more use if it had an iOS version. It's actually a very good browser with some unique features. PS I gave Opera a good run too but the iOS version (Opera Mini) was a pain and syncing bookmarks, history and passwords was tiresome to set up and use. This is one of the areas that Safari really shines in. Full syncing of history, bookmarks, passwords, autofill and access to all other devices, not to mention seamless Handoff.
