Managing Director of Forever Group I'm a relative Apple newcomer, having been steadfastly attached to Blackberry and Android before moving to an iPhone. We have owned several iPads though, and also recently purchased a Macbook Pro. Keen to learn more about Apple particularly in terms of business integration and adoption.

  • Chrome is still a memory hog on macOS compared to Safari

    davefordavefor
    I'm wondering if Chrome's notorious RAM consumption is something to do with their sandboxed approach?



    Perhaps try the new Edge?

    Hint: The new Edge beta (for PC at least) finally shuts down resources for tabs that are no longer in use. Options start from five mins of inactivity I believe. Great idea.

  • Mysterious malware infecting Apple Silicon Macs has no payload - yet

    davefordavefor
    Having 'known' malware covered in the press as a point of concern would be a real luxury in PC-land.

    Microsoft I believe see 94% of threats once. For Windows it's all about protection against software vulnerabilities and zero-day.

    There is feedback from VMWare and MalwareBytes so it's clearly a known threat in the AV vendor community.

    All this really is then is a reminder to macOS owners (including myself) that they need some form of decent malware protection now.

    History has shown us that trusting hardware and OS vendors exclusively is insufficient.
