So Safari Stand doesn't work with Safari 10

Thank you for your response Alf, much appreciated. I guess should look into 1Password as well, many are recommending this app.

There are other password managers available.

Also, I think it may be possible to do in-app as I seem to remember a password option )or at least seeing it mentioned somewhere) but I didn't want every password imported so I went the long way around.

There is something about it here which I hope might be of some help:

safari stand does in fact work w/el cap. Like yourself, I wouldn't of upgraded otherwise.

Unfortunately everything I've read says the annual updated OS, MacPlanned Obsolesce or whatever it's called now, as well as Safari 10 do not work with SS.

Depending on the year of the mac you're on, you aren't missing much upgrading. If you like Yosemite, stay with it. The ultimate goal is to phase you out of your hardware. Whatever they say the minimum hardware requirements are for the OS, I'd stop a couple years ahead of it and stop upgrading.

At a minimum since the annual deadline is now the priority ahead of properly QA'ing the OS releases, I wouldn't update to the new version at least a few months after it's released. Just my .02.

Opera is a really cool browser and can use the chrome web store with it. I've found Chrome to be pretty bloated (least on a mac, IE-30 instances of Google Chrome helper running every time you open it) and once chrome stopped allowing 3rd party extensions, a lot of the benefit for me was lost. To each his own, just my experience.

As if to add insult to injury, I just discovered that upgrading to El Capitan has completely deleted a year's browsing history!

You would think that as Safari gived people the option of keeping their browser history for a year (or longer) that Apple might consider that some people do actually keep their browser history and value it for their own good reasons.

Granted, it is still there as El Capitan now used history.db and history.plist is still there but there does not seem to be a way of importing it, even using another browser as an intermediary; i.e. importing from, say old Safari to Chrome and then Chrome to new Safari.

I'm even gladder that my Mac and I are getting old and sooner or later, I can forget all about having the way I try to do things being dictated by a corporation.

I cannot believe that there wasn't even an option to import the old history.

Apple, we are done.

Did you try this

SafariStand for Safari 10

I just discovered this myself late last night but it was a lot to take in with the suggestion that a new version of SIMBL be installed.

Via a bit of Time Machine juggling, I managed to get back to Safari 9.1.3 without losing all the other system and document changes between times - it wasn't possible to simply restore Safari. But since doing so, I have found that App Store is relentless at trying to force me to update and will not let me hide the update as is possible with other applications.

I would, however, consider going down the new SafariStand route and update to Safari 10 if there was a way to import my history from Safari 9 because last time, it disappeared. If Apple give people the option to save their history for up to a year (or even indefinitely), they ought to recognise that people might actually want to keep their history when they upgrade and not simply wipe ite out.

Have you contacted the Developer?

Oh darn. Not again!

ran out of time this morning while trying to get things working again. Removed a few 3rd party security apps I was testing out. Will see if that helps this evening.
