One of the best things about Apple’s Safari is the fact that it Is an open source project and in this regard then, it is leagues ahead of the Internet explorer for the simple reason that it comes unbound and doesn’t necessitate you to have an ‘ MSN Messenger” or something that you don’t want to use.

Well, now that you are paying attention, it isn’t really like that. But the companies are really working hard to get the apple’s safari off their networks because it apparently ahs a bad habit of popping up.

According to Guardian.co.uk

“ Companies struggle as Safari pops up on networks is the headline of a story from IDG News, which contains the amusing factoid that: “On Friday, patch management vendor Shavlik Technologies announced that it had updated its Shavlik NetChk Protect software to detect and remove Safari.”

Apple, you may recall, tried to deceive users into installing its browser by presenting it as a “default update” when it wasn’t already installed. This has given companies problems. Cody Wilson, a network administrator with Soy Capital Bank and Trust in Decatur, Illinois, told IDG: “I went into work the next day and I scanned my network, and my inventory software said I have Safari on 30 PCs,” he said.
“This is not good; this is a security risk,” he said. “We’re a bank.”
Wilson said it has taken him the better part of a week to remove Safari from his network and prevent it from being reinstalled.”

A feeling of frustration is one thing and the right to access something is another – When a website doesn’t load on a web browser or doesn’t display properly, you have frustration welling up within you. However, if that site belongs to the government and the information contained therein is actually made accessible for the public to view, we then have a problem here simply because the browsers inadequacy is now causing a denial to the right to information for the web surfer. Some of the sites are just “optimized” for certain kinds of old browsers like the Internet Explorer and now even the government is answerable for this gaucherie.

Apparently, the feeling we get here is not browsers being compatible or not – it sis more an issue of websites not being toned up for flexibility no matter which browser is used. Just like you can’t force someone to marry, you couldn’t be forcing someone to use a particular browser to make information available. The government sites, especially, have to be made fluid, flexible and adaptive no any web browser and the people responsible tp put out that information have to ensure that this happens. Agreed that only about 6 % of the web surfers might use the firefox and safari, but it is still worthy of a chin-up. Read more

Thankfully, Pay pal has issued an official release stating that it has no intention to block any users of any browser whatsoever and the unrest was unwarranted.

Pay Pal does have a policy (for enhanced security) not to allow users logging into their systems through out-dated or unsafe browsers. Read more
