If you're using Apple's Safari browser, PayPal has some advice for you: Drop it, at least if you want to avoid online fraud. Safari doesn't make PayPal's list of recommended browsers because it doesn't have two important anti-phishing security features, according to Michael Barrett, PayPal's chief information security officer.

"Apple, unfortunately, is lagging behind what they need to do, to protect their customers," Barrett said in an interview. "Our recommendation at this point, to our customers, is use Internet Explorer 7 or 8 when it comes out, or Firefox 2 or Firefox 3, or indeed Opera." Safari is the default browser on Apple's Macintosh computers and the iPhone, but it is also available for the PC. Both Firefox and Opera run on the Mac.

Rubbish. The Mac OS is secure by nature so it's fine. Never had a problem with Safari.

mac has firefox anyways no?

safari for pc does piss me off though, its still got that odd slower than normal scroll speed. i don't mean smooth scroll nonsense. its simply slow when ie/firefox/opera operate normally with my logitech mice wheels
