I used to work at apple support. The only software we could suggest for anti virus software was Malwarebytes. ALOT of issues were removed with a scan, even internet connectivity, mail and browser dodgy extensions.. My best action plan was shutting down the Mac, going into safe mode, downloading Malwarebytes and running a scan. It removes the issues and upon restarting.

It should be mentioned that Chrome really likes writing to the drive which if you have an SSD *will* shorten the drive's lifespan. Heck, when the whole writing to SSD thing that came out after the M1 people found out of all browsers Chrome was the _worst_ in the amount of information it needlessly wrote to the drive - even on Windows.

Tried to love safari but after using it for months aside from some websites that for some reason don't work in safari, the one deal breaker was its lousy swipe to go back function. Firefox and chrome don't have this issue at all, but safari for some reason swipe to go back is so clunky. It takes a minimum of two swipes to go back 90% of the time. Switched to chrome and voila no issues. 20+ tabs open with a couple of other apps on the background and no performance/battery issues whatsoever on my base 13 inch macbook pro. The only feature that i would miss on safari is the touch id login function, but i could live without it. Chrome > Safari

I like Edge, and used it for about 6 months last year. It's quite stable and performance/compatibility is very similar to Chrome (possibly even better). However, the big question is - how much more trustworthy is Microsoft than Google when it comes to your privacy/personal data? It's debatable, but I'd give the "edge" to Edge ;) Firefox is the gold standard however, open source, no telemetry etc. It's about as good as you can get without going full Linux + Tor browser.

So if you like Firefox and privacy, I hope you’ve disabled the DNS over HTTPS feature (DOH), which is not as privacy friendly as Mozilla makes it out to be. And especially in a corporate environment does more goed than bad in terms of logging and monitoring.

I’ve been a Mac user for over a decade now, and I own 4 Macs, both Intel and Apple Silicon. I think a lot of Mac users that come over from Windows think they need all these programs, and they’re really counterproductive in many cases on a Mac because they’re either poorly designed, or simply not needed. 1. Chrome is only a backup browser on my Mac for when safari can’t properly render a webpage. Safari is my main browser, and my favorite on my Mac and iPhone. 2. Don’t really use browser extensions because of the performance hit. 3. I disagree with NOT having antivirus on your Mac. I have Malwarebytes Premium which is is pretty resource friendly. 4. I definitely agree with cleaner apps to an extent. I KNEW MacKeeper would be on here. 😂 5. macOS has some great image converting tools built in. 6. Private Relay is all I use as far as VPNs go. You tend to take a hit on battery and browsing speed. macOS is a fairly robust and competent OS all by itself, you don’t need to add a ton to it to make it more capable than it already is.

On my iPhone I used Safari only because I am a guy who always prefer products from the same maker.

I've never understood why people love Chrome so much. I hate it!!! Google just did the same thing MS did in the 1990s early 2000s by making "exclusive features" that end up breaking websites for other browsers so they can convince you to hand them all your data by using Chrome. No thanks. I'm like you I use Safari for most things as it is fastest in my experience and I use Firefox as a fallback. Edge if I absolutely have to before Chrome. Even MS sucks up less data than Google.

I definitely want a dedicated video to privacy. I just switched to Mac after 30 years with Windows and it's been two years since I've ditched Firefox for Brave and never looked back. I find it to be outstanding, lighting fast and private. I get no ads at all, not even on KZread, NONE, ZILCH, no data collected and more. So I'm very curious to know what you based your "no Brave" recommendation on. I'd love to see truly consistent data. I loved Firefox and it's still my go to browser after Brave, but I still got ads everywhere on it and I'm not sure how private it is. So if you can shed some proper light on your claim against Brave I'm all eyes. Also, I appreciate Safari's speed but doesn't Apple collect data from it like Google even if they don't necessarily commercialise it? I do get ads everywhere on Safari, which for me, after being on Brave for so long, it's like going back a thousand years to ad chaos. Anyway, thanks for your videos, looking forward to more on this subject

I don't know a lot about computers, but as a lifelong user (now on a Mac) I notice that Google stuff doesn't play as friendly on a Mac like it does on PC. MS stuff doesn't have all the features like they do on the PC version. It's like the companies take their little digs against each other in weird ways. I just know if I use Chrome, it slows down to nothing and eventually crashes if I have a lot of tabs open (past experience). I had been using Firefox until they started the 'signin' process, but things got kind of odd there. Ended up on Brave (which I was told was ChromeLite) and have been there ever since. Only lately have they started updating every other day, and having crash issues. I do know that some apps work better on Chrome than they do on Brave (nich apps), which I thought was really weird. I have Brave squelched down, no wallet or crypto stuff, etc. And I have no ads on YT, which is tremendous. Dislike ads. But there are some on FB. Other than that, smooth sailing. I like to use Safari for private mode. Now that I hear Safari is unstable for businesses, I'll try that in Brave. IMHO all the companies gather data and make money off anything until it squeaks. The only thing that bothers me is that - will they be using this in the future like China has been doing against their own people for political/control reasons?

Love the video! Very helpful

Very Cool, Laszlo montreal Photog. My question: If I were to format a new Samsung 2TB SSD external storage hard drive exFat, will it be compatible wit my Time Machine?? Or must I format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) ? Thanks!

thoughts on CleanMyMac X?

Yes. Dont put yourself in a position where you need to try it in the first place.

Safari is really not as responsive for me as chrome though.

Yeah definitely agree. Every single reviewer says that safari is faster but after personally using both chrome and safari myself. Definitely chrome is more responsive (or faster). I don’t mind the increase battery drain for a smoother experience if i’m going to dock my mac anyways.

Which of these two is better for a university use (take notes, watching videos, using excel and other stuff)?: -MBA with 512 of SSD and 8gb of RAM - MBA with 256 gb of SSD (with the storage issue) and 16 go of RAM Considering that I would like to keep this MacBook for at least 5-6 years

16gb. You cannot upgrade ram but you can use external storage devices if you need to.

Thanks for the video. question - Onyx vs AppCleaner, which one is safer?

I've never liked nor ever used Fire Fox! What about Yahoo? As for antivirus, I've never thought of using any antivirus software on a Mac. On a Windows PC, it's kind of a must to have an antivirus software. The only cleaner app I've found decent is "Clean My Mac X". Does anyone know if it's authentic? Thanks for the insight though...

It's authentic but you don't need it, and I have heard MANY stories of it slowing down performance by constantly running in the background. If you like it, keep using it, but it's just not necessary.

Safari is optimized and more responsive for Mac. It's leagues better, not as power hungry and definitely less resource intensive compared to Chrome. It's also tightly integrated into the OS allowing for iCloud KeyChain and auto fill shenanigans.

Very good and vivid lecture

Hey, can you tell me what product you're using to hold your MacBook like that? I use mine as a "pseudo-desktop" as well and that setup seems so neat! 😁

I'll never stop using Chrome. I don't need workarounds I need a browser that works. Edge still doesn't work 100% and lol at Safari.

Just curios, but when you say "Works" what exactly do you mean? I use FireFox and Safari, but never had an issue with any of the two. I guess I'm just wondering what am I missing here.

Firefox is not a workaround lol, it performs almost exactly the same as Chrome. Edge also works perfectly and is one of the fastest and most stable browsers currently. Not really sure where you're getting these opinions from. If I ever come across a website on Firefox that doesn't work well, I simply open up Chrome for 1-2 minutes. But I haven't had to do that for MONTHS, even for website development work.

I use Safari all the time but some video contents have issues running in Safari. I'd call them bugs and not really performance issue. For example when playback speed is set at x1.5 by default on coursera, the videos and audios are out of sync on the safari. We need to replay the video to make it sync back again.

Thanks for this insightful video! You make videos that are significantly more unique and informative than the others. Subscribed!

There is no point at all for you to point out Google privacy policy if you use safari but still search via Google

"Google Chrome is trash" Says the one who uses Safari💀

Video on security and privacy would be nice. And possibly howto video on hardening your browser. Especially Safari and Firefox.

What would be nice is a step by step guide on formatting the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system thats current, streamlined and easy to follow. After needing to do do that today, it took forever as the guides either don’t exist, are hard to find, don’t get to the point, or written for people with a higher understanding so gloss over bits

I watched this video on chrome....And then uninstalled it....Thanks Bro for opening my eyes...

All this time and I didn't even know that my Mac had an image converter 🤦‍♀😆

I’ve only and will only ever use Safari on all my Apple devices. Never used Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge…

I like the fact in Brave you can skip ads and get some privacy from trackers but after watching your video, do you know if there is any safari extension where you can block some of the ads?

Definitely a mix of Safari and Firefox is the best to work with on Mac 👍🏻thanks for the VPN recommendation too 🤓
