4 Reasons Not to Install macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 & 10 Reasons You Should
Install for Safari Upgrades | ||||||||||||||||
 | ||||||||||||||||
Do you use Safari as your main browser or stream a ton of movies on your Mac? If so, you should install macOS High Sierra so that you get all the new Safari features. With High Sierra Safari is upgraded to prevent ads from tracking you across multiple websites. This will increase your privacy and change the types of ads you see online. Another awesome improvement is stopping autoplay video. Safari will not allow sites to autoplay video when you go there, unless you want it. If your favorite site autoplays video and you like it, you can turn that on and the browser will remember it. You can also set preferences like using Reader all the time, zooming in to 150%, turning on content blockers, and even if the site can use your camera, microphone or location. With macOS 10.13.4 and higher you also get new privacy features in Safari and warnings if you enter information like a password or a credit card into an unencrypted field. With Safari, you can watch videos for up to four hours longer than using Chrome or FireFox and browse for up to 2 hours longer on Safari. | ||||||||||||||||

Same question – I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013)
Seems anything over 3 months old is considered “really old” these days.

Every time I come here to read about Apple (I find this site via Google) I never get a straight answer nor opinion.
Not once do you ever dare to call the child by its name.
Are you afraid of Apple ?

Trouble with the version 10.13.4 and Safari and the slowness never seen before. I hope Apple is aware that they NEED to get a better version. I have had no problems with Firefox…

Look at the upgrade requirements information. As I recall if your Mac is 2009 or later, you should be OK.

After 50 years of writing software and managing software development programs, including operating systems, I would label the Mac high sierra software as junk software. I have version 10.13.6. Mac mail is nearly unworkable, and almost every operation leads to a spinning beachball.
Come on, guys, just make one stable version of OSX that recaptures the Mac-feel of the operating system that drew us to Macs in the first place.

Absolutely. Apple: have dancing girls careering across the screen if your sales manager imagines that’s what your 16- to 26-year old target customers want, but don’t forget, as you have done, that a lot of people actually depend on their systems WORKING, reliably, no glitches, no down-time while problems generated by your latest heap of increasingly-irrelevant software are sorted out. And glued-together hardware doesn’t impress all of us, either.
