Can I use safari and google chrome on my iMac?

Is it possible to use two browsers, i.e. Safari as is and add Google Chrome as well and choose which one I want to use for different activiity?

It is better to have two browsers installed.
I use Safari as main browser and Firefox as backup.
Best.

  • I can not open my email in hotmail. I can open hotmail, see the fact that I have emails but it won't allow me to open them. this just started 2 days ago and has always worked before . I can open using IE and Google Chrome

    I found I could not open my email within hotmail. Hotmail itself works in IE and Google Chrome so I know it is FF. I can open the account but not individual emails nor can I delete junk mail. Nothing within the hotmail window seems to work.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I can't sign into my Youtube account on Firefox, but it works fine on Safari and Google Chrome. Deleting my web history, cookies, and etc didn't help. PLZ HELP!

    I click on sign in on Youtube.com and it takes me to the sign in page. I enter my information (correctly, duh) and then I am returned to the Youtube home page. I try to click Sign in again and the page is just refreshed. My account still exists bc I can reach it on Safari and Google Chrome, but I don't want to have to switch browsers. By the way the cookies ARE enabled, so Idk what the problem is.

    hello, please also make sure that in particular youtube.com & accounts.google.com are allowed to set cookies (at least for the session)...

  • I just installed ios8 on my ipad3 and now I can't exit out of the last search using Safari and Google search

    I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

    Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

  • Safari and Google Chrome running slow on my MacBook

    Hi there!
    Over the last couple of weeks Safari (and Google Chrome) have started running very, very slow on my MacBook(I own a MacBook white, OS X version 10.6.8). I didn't install anything new over the last few months, so I don't think that is the problem. My Wi-Fi has been checked and that's not the problem either. Also, I emptied my cache and reset Safari, yet nothing seems to help.. Sometimes I even have to Force Quit Safari because it just stops working all of a sudden and it blocks my whole computer for over a minute. Anyone out there that can help me?

    Except for Facebook?
    Try the following:
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

    my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos.  I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds.  I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds.  The software is up to date.  Just bought this thing in February 2012.  Can anyone help me? 

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

  • Can I install safari or Google chrome in apple tv to browse the internet

    I would like to purchase apple tv to make my HD tv in to smart TV. As i browsed the features of apple tv I dint see any browser like safari or Google chrome available in apple TV. So I want to know that is it possible to install the internet browsers in apple TV?

    no you can't install apps on Apple TV and it does not have a browser
    but if you have a supported iOS device like iPad or iPhone or iPod touch you can airplay mirror it's screen to the tv using the appletv
    and if their screen is displaying a browser then you got what you wish

  • Are there any browsers for Mac other than Safari and Google Chrome that are better with adobe flash for my Macbook 2009?

    On Safari Adobe Flash freezes at times on popular Flash chatroom I visit and on Google Chrome when I try to type the typing is laggy delayed. Adobe Flash needs to be fixed in Safari and possibly other Browsers, and Google Chromes html5 or whatever flash replacement their browser uses ***** on older hardware.

    Go for Safari always, you will have more advantages than any other browser. You can safely install the Adobe Flash pluguin, it will install as pref pane in your System Preferences. From there you can limit its access, block sites for storing info in your mac.
    Under the advanced tab of the Flash Player in System Preferences, check “Notify me to install updates”, so you are always up to date (feel free to check out any update directly form the Adobe website to be safe).
    Steve does't want to allow Flash for iOS due to security issues (long story). But it's OK for mac, if you keep an eye on it.
    Google's Chrome its decent, but you know, it's Google. I will prefer to take the advantage of the Apple's ecosystem, like syncing all Safari content and passwords with iCloud, to keep using it in your iOS devices. You can have an open page in your mac, and go to your iPad and continue with the same page.
    Also you can find some useful Safari extensions that will trick the websites to load an HTML5 version of the video instead of flash (like if you were on an iPad).

  • I have a mac pro how can i import/transfer my favorites from safari and google chrome to firefox ?

    i have a MacBook Pro I usually use safari as my browser, i have downloaded firefox as well as google chrome. i would like to have my favorites i use for safari also for firefox, how do i do this ? i see they have step by step instructions but only for window users.thank you

    Simple, call the 800 number Apple Store and they will provide link to download.
    For some reason seems they think someone might mistake or be confused and... buy wrong OS (when they wanted Mountain Lion).
    Be sure before running the install, to save the package file to USB flash + DVD and someplace safe so you don't have to redownload and so you can do clean install later if you need to (you can always install to a new alternate drive but most don't realize).
    Also makes for a nice way to clean out, start fresh whatever your system has accumulated.
    Lion lacks PowerPC code support via Rosetta so keeping a dual boot system of both at least for couple months is good idea too -
    Setup Assistant will still import from your old system so it isn't like there is a lot of extra work with a clean install either.
