If you’re OK with Firefox storing passwords within itself instead of using the Keychain… Firefox is there for you. Reliable, more efficient than Chrome*, not owned by an advertising company… *I suspect it stacks up pretty well with Safari but haven’t seen stats

If it allows you to even select the OPTION to not open new pages in tabs instead of new windows then I'm down (gently caress you Chrome)

Safari is good for 3 more hours of battery at least over chrome on my MBP, probably more than that on the Air. Yes it's installed but unless salesforce or something else that requires it needs to be open right that minute, CMD+Q.

Quackles posted:That’s a checkbox right in the first screen of the preferences I assume you're talking about Firefox, because with Chrome I have to install an extension to hack that behavior back into it. God I hate tabs And the fact that only Chrome performs adequately on JS-heavy pages, or like if there's a textarea that you paste more than a few hundred bytes of text into, with Chrome you can arrow-key zoom around and search and type and everything, but in Safari 20 years later it still feels like every keystroke is reevaluating an entire gigabyte-long array recursively or some poo poo. And Google Earth and a million other things just chug in Safari. It pisses me off so much that Chrome is the only option for heavy dev-ish use, if for no other reason than dogfood — I want to be using what the bulk of Mac users will be using Data Graham fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Sep 23, 2021 |

That way I don’t have to worry about Google stealing my pants.

Something like that will integrate better with mobile (whether it be Android or iOS) better than Lockwise last I checked.

Yeah and Safari does support date/time inputs as of Safari 14 which is like a year old so they should probably update that list

Edge 4 lyfe. I switched from Safari because of the lack of custom keyword searches - I don't know if they ever reintroduced them. At this point I've just gotten used to vertical tabs.

There’s an extension for that. I use DDG as my default search engine and have “g” as a keyword to switch to google.

Anybody else had problems with crashes with the new Safari update? I've had several times more Safari crashes since the last update than I did the entire rest of the time I've had the machine.

I hate the new tab coloring so much I’m trying out the new compact safari design and living ok with it so far. But this “color match the UI to the page” makes no loving sense. Why should the browser UI blend into the page as if the website has browser controls sitting in the header? I can understand wanting UI to fade into the background to let content be prominent but integrating UI into the content is the worst way to do it. Edit: And to really use tab groups you need to have the sidebar open a lot? So you have a huge chunk of the window that is UI grey just sitting there distracting from the content anyway? None of this is cohesive.

None of this is cohesive. ⌘ ⌥ up-down arrow lets you cycle through tab groups, so once I set everything up with frequently used groups near the top it went well. Closed the sidebar and haven’t opened it since. I did have a lot of crashes at first and they were all when I pulled a browser tab out of safari and either left two instances of safari running on the same desktop or tried to pull the tab to another desktop. Was crashing like 60% of the time then! Eventually just kept a single instance of safari running on one desktop and even with 15+ huge tab groups it runs fine with no problems so I guess that’s what it’s optimized for.

Ah, once I can get some memory muscle used to this it should be helpful. Thanks! Edit: Things still seem half-baked, though.

So Apple ended up replacing my logic board and Touch ID board; not sure if they actually diagnosed the ram or graphics card as the culprit for my frequent kernel panic crashes or if they just tend to go this route if someone under warranty complains. Whole thing was very fast - chatted support Tuesday, had the box delivered Wednesday, Apple got it Thursday and I got it back yesterday. So far so good.

I like having my Dock visible but I hate how the windows manager treats the area where the Dock is as unusable screen space. IE double clicking on Safari's menu/top bar maximizes Safari up to the Dock. When the Dock is fully hidden then it doesn't do this and takes up the entire screen. Is there a way to make it so that my Dock is always visible and windows just maximize under the Dock as if it wasn't there?

If you have the Sidebar button in your toolbar, it has a drop-down menu to switch between tab groups.
