when I click on email links from various source - including AIGA - safari blocks me because it thinks Malware is invoked.
Obviously this is not the case...
Can you turn this off in Mavericks?

Ditch Safari, get Chrome or Firefox.

Change the Safari Security pref for fraudulent site reporting to off and/or change Privacy to not block cookies from third-parties or advertisers (which is often a malicious practice btw).
Then remember that Safari is one of the few browsers that defaults to blocking potentially malicious cookies which is good for the uninformed user's privacy. Then remember that in recent years Google notoriously circumvented this setting and got caught red-handed stealing data when users had opted out. They paid a fee equal to about one day's revenue and continue to not be "evil".
After all, Chrome's bread and butter is search with ads.

I second sem.
Ditch safari
Chrome is really good, I was on safari since it was introduced on mac, then tried firefox and that was not good for me, finally decided on chrome and good bye safari.
It's faster, looks very similar (design wise) and has all these add-ons that no one really uses, but they are there if you want them

Yeah don't get me wrong, EvilPeacock has a point with the user information thing. But then at the same time I'm sure he has a Facebook, Twitter etc that hoarders just as much info.
You can't complain about the NSA etc but use social media (such as QBN even that does not allow users to delete posts) and not expect some level of information to be online.
And thats not a dig, I don't think its ok either and i'm fully on your side EvilPeacock, but I just think the power is in their hands until there are personal or more honest independent net service providers etc.

Who uses Safari?
- Who buys a Mac?monospaced
- Mac + Bootcamp = PC
PC + Hackintosh = Mac
Either way, win win.sem - So gay. Expensive shit hardware. Microsoft invented it and apple just makes MACs that are shiny copies. Bootcamp is slow.monospaced
- Think you'll find a lot of the hardware is actually good and stable together.sem
- Bare in mind Samsung, Intel etc made a lot of the Macbook Pro hardware.sem
- Sorry. You seem to have no grasp of sarcasm. I will stop now.monospaced
- Unwarranted sarcasm. Disliking Safari doesn't make someone anti-Mac.i_monk
- It was warranted. It always is.monospaced

Chrome bro.

More like Chrome is slower with every new release.

Safari is ridiculous and off standard on any platform, chrome and firefox have been struggling with the memory heap but both are fast as fuck lately, for me at least, some sites have lousy asset and caching management and some never stall your browser anyway

On OS X I prefer Safari. But I have to use all due to work so...

One time I had the malicious site warning in safari and it turned out the site was hacked and altered. few days later it was ok and they apologized.. so not sure if the site you visited was compromised.

Had been using chrome since it came out and loved it. Since the new version of safari came out I've switched over though. Faster, has a bookmarks sidebar and seems to use less resources. The fans on my macbook would always kick into high gear after just watching a couple youtube videos. Not on safari.

Why doesn't Adblocker work properly in Safari? That is my main reason for not using it.

There are always Mac Vs PC comments in stuff like this. At the end of the day, its about what makes you feel comfortable to create.
I have both a Mac and PC, and use both for different things.
For me, the Mac is superior with my work flow as the operating system and hardware very rarely interrupt what I'm doing.The PC is great for more homebrew projects, software etc. And yes for the price you can customise your PC a lot better hardware wise. But that said once you stick an SSD hard drive into your Mac you rarely need much else unless its really old.
Moaning at people because they prefer Mac is like moaning at someone for supporting a different football team than you. Its just what they prefer. You can moan that it is over-priced and yes I'd agree in terms of what you can build with a Hackintosh. But people pay the difference to have the peace of mind knowing if anything goes wrong they will have better support fixing it, where as a Hackintosh is all on you to repair.
PC's rule the gaming world nowadays, even over consoles though, that is a fact. Just then you get the very same argument from gamers "what a rip off"

- I prefer Mac and hate Safari. And I was ref to Mono's side comment, which was a joke I didn't get ha.sem
