I only use Safari, don't know Chrome or Firefox. With the most current Safari and fairly current hardware, I sometimes get bad results. I remember several software generations ago (coding in HTML4.0) how tricky it was to code for compatibility with all browsers. There are sites which are still poorly written in that they expect the user will be using browser which are built to current standards, little allowance made for backward compatibility. So many browsers, so many generations of software, it is easy to understand how somebody's clever shortcut could freeze a slightly off kilter older browser.
In short, upgrade. stan Sent from my iPad > On Nov 14, 2016, at 7:02 PM, David Mann <[email protected]> wrote: > > Fragmentation isn't a thing on the Mac but yes 196G free shouldn't cause even > the slightest problem.
