Seems "Enhancer for YouTube" is not available (yet) for Safari. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

It no longer exist for Windows, but is the primary browser on macOS. It works well there -- some sites work better with Chrome, but for most it is faster and uses less memory. It does not have many extensions -- though Apple has said they will support a more popular method Chrome uses so they will get a lot more soon. It is more focused on privacy and security than is Chrome, which is nice. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

I couldn't use a browser with less extensions available, just as I couldn't use an OS with less programs available.

From now on every time that particular device is plugged in, the port will only be a power port. And I don't need another cable.

From now on every time that particular device is plugged in, the port will only be a power port. And I don't need another cable. Try that with an airport (etc) charging station that provides only USB ports for your cable and no AC ports for your wall wart charger. -- Jim H

I wouldn't be charging the satnav in an airport. And my phone is clever enough to ask me what to do (although since the battery in that lasts for 10 hours of continuous calls (unlike Apple shit), it's unlikely I'd need to charge it there).
