Hi Jaydub,

Personally, I have a pet dislike of Macs mainly due to how they price up their systems and how they like to do things their own way with no thought to how they may interact with others. I used to work with an e-commerce company that had a javascript based shopping basket solution and one of my biggest issues was that I would get a site working brilliantly on Windows but there would be all sorts of errors on Macs. We would then fix the Mac issues only for it to fall over on the PC. It was a never ending struggle. Personally, I think if you are going to use Macs then you have to live with the fact that you may NEVER get them to work exactly like a PC.

HTH,

Both on macs

Moving to fibre with Pulse8 on Tuesday, so will be interesting to see whether I see a marked difference.

I've had a play on my Win8 laptop and I get consistently better results with Firefox than I do with IE11, but both are better than the Mac.

Interesting, but no idea what, if anything, to read into it.

What browser are you using on your Mac?
TBH, I have never liked the Safari browser.

Me neither. I use Chrome mostly with Firefox as backup.

The TBB Speed Test warns you off using FF & Safari, so all the speed tests on the Mac have been done using Chrome.

Hmm, I think when I get back from the Hospital tomorrow I will pinch my sisters Mac Book Pro, granted it will be using Wi-Fi, but I will be sitting next to the Smart Hub, that's if I remember.

I will need to test it in the morning when we are not congested.

The warnings are only for the flash version on OSX

Understood. I ran the Flash version anyway on FF on the Mac, hence my comment.

Just wondered whether Safari defaults to the non-Flash version, whereas FF still seems to default to the Flash version but presents a warning (at least, when you are logged in)
