Safari 4 vs Google Chrome
Why does my Galaxy Nexus use Apple Safari 4 as the default web browser as opposed to Google Chrome?
I wasn't sure about the browser so I asked the question on the Google mic and several responses came back saying it appeared the browser was Apple Safari. The reason I'm asking is Gmail provides two different display modes depending on the browser. If not using a fully supported browser, some of the functions will not work, e.g., spellcheck, keyboard shortcuts, etc.
I think you answered my question. That is, the default browser is "Browser." I guess I don't really need to know the specifics.
No, I did not download Safari, but I did download Google Chrome and Firefox and opening Gmail in each to see how they respond.
Thanks again,

My macbook pro freezes in safari or google chrome or just shuts down all together
My MacBook Pro freezes constantly when using Safari or Google Chrome. I have to reset to continue with anything.
It happens more often when using Java to play games and sometimes just closes the browser.I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder. in the dialogue box type
/var/db/crls
In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash. It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards. I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process. It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem. Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck. -
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 -
How is it possible that when I do have a Wifi connection, I cannot connect to Safari or Google Chrome or anything else internet-related? Sometimes it does all work, but after a while Wifi is still there and I am not able to go to any website whatsoever.
Your network preferences file may be damaged, that would explain why you can configure the computer and get online but then when the computer wakes from sleep and needs to restore the setting it cannot.
Open the Library folder of your computer (not the Library in your user directory) and then find the Preferences folder. Now the problem for me is that I've not used Leopard forever so I'm not sure exactly where the file you want is or what it is called. In Mountain Lion it is called:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
and it is inside a folder called SystemConfiguration. But I can't remember if this has changed along the way or not. The easy thing to do is to go back to the Network Preferences pane again and make the change I directed above. Then you can look in the Preferences folder and sort by date modified to find the network preferences file that was just now modified. Move it to the desktop, restart your computer, reconfigure the WiFi again and see what happens. -
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. -
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)...

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.

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to only one web site, that previously was OK. Happens with both Safari and Google Chrome. Would emptying the system cache fix the problem?

tengo una macbook air y el navegador no puede abrir vídeos. me marca flash está obsoleto. Lo que me saco del apuro fue descargar el google chrome. y ese si me ayudó. Como puedo arreglar el navegador si no me deja instalar el flash
Cesar,
If Flash is important to you, you should be able to download a Flash Player from theAdobe.com site. I wish I could do without it, but there always seems to be something important that is available only in Flash, so I cave in and update the Flash version on my computer. This perpetuates what I believe to be an inferior graphics app, but that's life.
Jerry

Yes.

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. -
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. -
