What is a good browser to use?

10. Yes, Safari sometimes elicits real nasty replies. Are you using the latest "hot off the press" version? Two things:

1. Safari gets only minor updates unless you update the entire operating system. I think this applies to ios and MacOS somewhat equally. And OS updates are 6 GB or more. No problem for me since I got off cellular internet (I was going to take the old imac to the library!) but it is mighty disruptive to do so, and safari will lag in that respect.

2. Some of my problems went away when (on the desktop version) I turned off extensions under Developer menu (You have to select show developer tools somewhere in the config for this to happen). Maybe all of them. I just haven’t had a site bark at me lately, though there are couple of companies that I haven’t accessed in a while.

Biggest pain is that Patelco Credit Union got ransomwared or otherwise taken down, and neither the app nor the web site have any functionality. I seriously had to use the touch-tone transfer system to pay my mastercard. So, there are worse things.

People who run financial sites are pains in the ass. I won’t say more.
