Google has released Chrome 98 (link) and so far everything is stable on macOS – a fair number of security bugs have been fixed. On the topic of Safari though, just when you thought that the issue of IndexedDB had been resolved (the security issue) it appears to have reared its ugly head with reports…

I tried to give Safari a try, I really did but I’m back using Chrome once again – if it isn’t content blockers that break websites (I only enable the non-problematic filters) it is Safari not working properly with the websites I use such as the Affinity payroll (the website doesn’t work properly, for example,…

Well, that was rather unexpected. After posting about using Chrome and the problem I was having with iCloud in regards to removing an alias that would keep reappearing. Well, I came home tonight after work and thought, “might as well see if I can remove that alias” and amazing enough it actually was able to…

Another day and a new uBlock Origin release – although I can install it via the Chrome extensions store the problem is that the Chrome extensions store always seems to lag behind so instead what I do is download the .zip file and side load it (going to the extensions page, enabling ‘developer mode’ then…
