Disable Your Safari Autofill Now

Safari auto-fill feature can be exploited by websites. This exploit is super easy to do, and will leak your name, email address, and address to any website implementing it.

Disable Auto-Fill in the preferences until they fix it.

Google Chrome is pretty slick on the Mac now, too.

I always used firefox on windows, but on Mac its always felt a bit off for some reason.

It can be a bit slow and awkward. IT gives me a fair amount of beach balls. Firefoix that is.
