    A 68.9Mb “macOS Supplemental Update” has just dropped there now in my Mojave Software Update.

    Who’s brave enough here to try it too?

  • Apple pulls buggy macOS Mojave Security Update, Safari 14

    surgefiltersurgefilter
    Safari 14 has been a disaster in the past fortnight as far as the long-promised support by Apple of Google’s amazing .WEBP lossless image format that is finally making inroads against JPEG and PNG... with huge bandwidth savings on file sizes and being pushed heavily by Google for all websites trying to optimize for Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals performance analytics.

    Works fine for standard pictures and backgrounds but if the .webp pic has an alpha channel transparency on a Z layer, the Safari v14 browser just doesn’t have a clue, whilst Chrome, Firefox and the others merrily display whatever you throw at them. In general it’s loading websites far slower since v14 than its competitors.

    Thankfully I didn’t update my MacPro’s Mojave yet to have the other problems with the OS itself.
