    macOS thinks a Mac App Store app was downloaded via Chrome

    This week, I set up a new "Apple Silicon" Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022), which is running the latest macOS Monterey 12.6. I downloaded & installed the Yubico Authenticator via the Mac App Store on my new MacBook Air, rather than download it from yubico.com using a web browser. The Mac App Store...

    Gmail now has a recurring pop-up ad that asks you switch to Google Chrome—is there a setting/Safari extension I can use so that I never see it again?

    When I go to Gmail in Safari, a little pop-up ad appears in the upper right-hand corner saying something like "Switch your default browser to Chrome" and only has a Yes or No option—no "Never ask again" option. It's annoying to try and check email, but first have to click through this ad each...

    Broken swiping in Chrome on M1 MBP

    Strangness with recent Chrome update files and the times they display

    On monday, Google release version 100.0.4896.75 to address a security issue. However, if I use ls -l "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Frameworks/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Versions", or just go into the package contents in that directory, it lists April 1st, 20:44. Now there are...

    Can chrome make use of keychain passwords

    Is there a way that MacOS can fill in passwords in Chrome? I don't really want to export my passwords to Chrome if I can avoid it, as I would rather not have all my passwords in my iCloud and Google account. (I have to use Chrome for Work, but use Safari for most other things). If I did decide...

    Survey: What's your main browser on macOS Big Sur?

    Fell free to comment your reasons, and how flexible you are at switching. Does ad blockers such as the uBlock Origin and paid free extensions in Safari such as the Dark Reader play a role here?

    iPad Can’t connect to Gmail from Mail app

    I am trying to use the Mail app to setup and connect to my Gmail account, but Safari says too many levels of indirection. Don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Why is Safari even involved because my default browser is Chrome? Any help appreciated.

    Which web browser consumes the least amount of CPU + energy?

    I've used Chrome, Safari and Edge. Apple told me Safari is best but I'm not seeing that since my 2020 MBP with 16gb of RAM turns it's jet engine fan on much of the time. What have you found to be the most energy efficient browser for your Mac?
