The new Intelligent Tracking Prevention will also limit how much sites can use cookies to track your browsing and serve ads based on your browsing history.įinally, you’ll be able to personalise your browsing by creating custom settings for specific pages or sites – changing the default zoom setting on certain sites, or adjusting your location settings on a case-by-case basis. That said, if you aren’t running Sierra or El Capitan right now, perhaps you are looking to upgrade from an older version of Mac OS X, such as Yosemite or Mavericks, then you’ll be interested to learn that Safari 11 features some welcome tweaks that should improve most people’s browsing experience.įirst up, to the dismay of advertisers everywhere, there are easy to use settings in Safari that allow you to prevent videos from auto-playing, ending the desperate hunt for that one tab blaring advert music at you. You’ll even be able to choose to always see web pages with the ads entirely stripped out thanks to Safari Reader. So really there is nothing here to incentivise you to update. Stay off the interwebz.Now we’re getting more into the sort of changes the everyday user will notice – except that the version of Safari that arrived on macOS High Sierra can also be downloaded for macOS Sierra and macOS El Capitan. High Sierra uses a poor early implementation of APFS which was very troublesome. The Sierras were an unmitigated disaster, saved eventually by Mojave… which you can't use without hacking - not recommended if you want performance & you can't hack it right up to a current OS anyway - so don't. So, as either is an island in the stream, dropping further & further behind 'today', then the only important thing is how each behaves.Įl Capitan was a really good, solid OS. You will be hard pushed to find any new apps that will support that far back - so long as your current old apps still work that's not an issue. Neither will properly be able to interact with such as the App Store - which won't really matter much as neither will be able to use any new apps from it.
Keep it offline as much as humanly possible. Both will increasingly require workarounds to connect to the internet - which should really be avoided for either. Not worth upgrading from El Capitan to High Sierra.īoth OSes are equally out of date compared to modern systems. This might get closed as 'opinion-based' but before it does… my opinion )
