well, if Apple keeps true to form, it won't be long before they update beyond where we can go. I made the mistake of upgrading to Safari 6.1 here on my Lion system and now if behaves oddly. When browsing through web pages, the Headers don't get read properly (half of them don't show up in the web item rotor). Surfing to some pages that are heavy with Java now cause voiceover to reset when attempting to load items in the web item rotor. Other issues include text being read 3 or more times, web links in google search also get read outside of their domain (such as in detailed results, etc.).
My system is just old enough not to support Mt. Lion and, from what it sounds like, Mavericks will be even more problematic. I have yet to receive any meaningful response on this from apple (all I get is the typical form letter response). What does it take to get someone at apple to realize they really screwed up? anyway, thats my rant. -eric On Nov 25, 2013, at 3:31 PM, Daniel McGee wrote: > Hi all, I know 10.9 Mavericks is out and that It has the latest version of > Safari which is 7 on the new OS.
