I've been getting messages that my browser is out of date and may not be secure. It should be updated but to what?
The message says
"Safari 11.1 (Version 11.1.2)
on MacOS 10.11.
It is not supported by the vendor anymore."
The recommended alternatives to Safari are Chrome , Firefox, Opera.
What are the Pros and Cons of these?
Your guidance will be highly appreciated
iMac, OS X 10.11
You need to upgrade your OS to get a newer version of Safari. If you want to continue using Sierra, there shouldn't be a problem using another browser.
If you want to upgrade to get a newer version of Safari, check the computer requirements shown in each link to see if your computer is capable of running that OS version.
How to upgrade to macOS Mojave - Apple Support
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
You are welcome. I would use Firefox or Opera. They don't collect your data like Chrome does.
Thank you for the speedy reply. I can't upgrade my OS above El Capitan (10.11.6) because I have a 20 inch iMac from Mid 2007.
I'm very pleased that Apple makes hardware to last.
I'm wondering which of Chrome, Firefox or Opera is best suited to running on El Capitan if Safari is no longer safe to use.
Should I update my Safari browser????
