davyboy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 today I got the following : Your current Mac browser won't allow you access to all the awesome RecipeSearch features You can give Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox a try. It's a snap and you will then be able to enjoy all the greatness that RecipeSearch has to offer. Could SKS explain simply why this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bloke Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Is that a message you got on going to a website? If so it's either a) the site uses features only supported on Chrome and Firefox (I can't think of anything that Safari wouldn't handle) or more likely b) they only test against Chrome and Firefox so display that message to any other browser (tut tut) in an effort to claim no responsibility for the site not working properly in other browsers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) This at the bottom of the page Did you know... ...that we are working hard to update our support to include Safari? In the meantime, give Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox a whirl. Or switch to a Windows PC and give it another try. If: I go to this page http://free.downloadrecipesearch.com/index.jhtml It throws me back to the original message in my first post. If I use firefox then it works.

the_bloke Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ah, now I've followed the link I see the problem. The page wants to install a toolbar; the toolbar only works in Chrome and Firefox, so if you are using any other browser it chucks you off. In all honesty, unless you really really need it, I'd avoid downloading it at all even if you had a browser it supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim1 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I can't log in to my eon account from safari browser it always says something to do with the website not been secure.

Any site that wants you to install one should be treated as totally untrustworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
