I often get asked which browser is the most secure with the best privacy. The article below does the job for me and is well worth a read.
I primarily use Safari and Chrome but recently I am moving most of my Chrome traffic over to Brave. I use Firefox for overflow and Safari Technology Preview to mitigate the effect Safari has on the system resources.

I am continuously getting SPAM phishing emails and I thought I would quickly demonstrate how to check the validity of the message. This tutorial is for Apple Mail, but the concept is the same for other mail clients.
Here is the latest message I have received:
When you have the message open in Mail, go to the View Menu, Message, then select “Raw Source”.
This will open up a window showing you the “code” of the message. It looks bad, but in reality it’s not. When you look through the code, you can figure out where links go. In this case the “Case Number 45742” is a link that leads to an off-shore address.
As you can see the URL for the link has nothing to do with the message. I didn’t click the link, but my guess is it will take you to a site that will ask you for all kinds of personal and financial information, or just install a virus on your computer.
Just be wise, and trust nobody (accept your trusty computer guy of course)! If you get an email that looks like its from a financial institution that you do business with, don’t click any links, just pick up the phone and call the institution to verify the email.
I have been converting a lot of customers to Apple in the last 10 years, and now more then ever. One problem I run into with installing QB onto a virtual machine is .NET framework. .NET is embedded into Windows 7, so all updates must be performed before installing QB. If you make the mistake of installing before updates, you may loose the ability to see the CD/DVD drive or image. The simple fix isn’t a restart but a shut down of the virtual machine.
