how do i downgrade from safari 8 to safari 7? any reason NOT to do this? A bank I deal with cannot support safari 8.

Is it possible to have both Safari 8 and Safari 7 browsers ... am i asking for trouble trying to do this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Someone at your bank is a complete moron. Specifically, their webmaster. There's no reason whatsoever why you couldn't do in Safari 8 what version 7 does. The only reason it wouldn't is said moron wrote the site to detect what browser you're using and refuse to operate unless certain types of browsers and the version s/he wants to look for is present.


Personally, I'd find a different bank.

The only reason I'd try that is as part of transferring my money away from this bank — if they're this bad with their public-facing security requirements, then I'd wonder whether their internal systems and processes and practices might be worse. In short:run away, run away.
