Re: Safari will not open specific webpage

[Alan Smith]

Hi Stephen,

As someone from wamug (Neil?) said a few years ago: it’s too late - Google 
already knows everything about you.  I think I was trying to uninstall Google 
Chrome after using it for a few days.

Google is efficient for my web searches.  I used DuckDuckGo for some time but 
became irritated by it.  Ditto for Bing.

In general I use standard Apple apps, including Safari.  I have Firefox 
installed on some devices as a backup browser.  Waiting for the new Microsoft 
Edge to be released by the Australian Mac App Store for possible use on the 
2019 iMac.

Cheers
Alan

Hi again Alan.
I suggest you dump Google ASAP.
That and Facebook will invade your world.

My family have use DuckDuckGo for a couple of years.
On our Macs and our iPhones.
They do no tracking and do not record your data.

Hi Stephen,

A reasonable deduction I think.  Windows for Woolies, Chrome for Coles and 
Safari for Store Shoppers?

Cheers,
Alan

Re: Safari will not open specific webpage

Sounds to me like Woolies have not tested their latest web catalogue.
Web writers should always make sure their work is compatible with all common 
browsers before releasing.
I learnt this when I did my IT course at TAFE some years ago.
