Suport for Safari ending?
Former Member
It says every time I log on that support for my Browser is going to be withdrawn and that I change to Chrome, Firefox or Explorer - well I own a Mac and have no intention of changing my Browser, are Garmin seriously going to stop supporting Safari??
I don't see that with Safari. What exactly is it that you're doing and what does it actually say? Are you perhaps seeing a warning that the Garmin Communicator Plugin is being abandoned?
I think the most pertinent question is what version of Safari are you using? If you are on a very old version, I'd expect that at some point support for that old version would be deprecated. Current versions are 7.0.4 (for OS X) and 5.1.7 (for Winows).
I fully agree! Mac is very prevalent and I'm not seeing the benefit of using Chrome or Firefox over Safari. Garmin, what is your basis for phasing out support for Safari?!
Who told you that Garmin is phasing out support for Safari??? I use Safari (I'm using it to type this), and I don't see any messages saying that. TRAVIS.VITEK asked a good question: what version of Safari (and OS X) are you using?
That's what I'm using, too, on Mavericks (10.9.3) and I've never seen it tell me that. I rarely use Chrome and never use Firefox, so all of my access to Garmin Connect is through Safari. Are you using any kind of blocking extensions?
It was blocking pop-ups until a couple of days ago. I have now changed this setting so will wait and see if I get the message again. Do you think this may have been the cause?
I'd be surprised, but maybe that was it. I usually have pop-up blocking on, but I have to turn it off to use a site I need for work on occasion, and I see that it's still off. I was thinking more of things like Ghostery. I was having trouble with Facebook at one point (lots of images wouldn't show), and a blocking extension was the culprit.
