Kas, there is no greatness or such... I simply know what is being used here and what will, or will not, be a server issue versus a local browser issue. Browsers have little to nothing to do with the operating system behind them, other than some minor additions such as flash or JDK where required, which is rare nowadays. Websites are getting more and more complicated today and thus it becomes really difficult for browser manufacturers to constantly meet the growing trends and demands of what is being developed globally.

People exploit a lot of things nowadays, so they default their browser software to safe as possible settings, which you need to adjust in order to view the web in the environment it actually is today, being websites everywhere basically sharing content and integrating with social networks, and their safe settings are just not optimal.

I recommend people to Safari because it is still today the most advanced, fastest browser on the market. It has basic grammar and spell check built-in, it takes care of the above issues automatically for you. Even IE handles mixed content better than Chrome or Firefox do, because it pops up a little message asking you if you want to display the mixed content of secure and non-secure when viewing the page. That would get very annoying when viewing third party websites with vimeo / youtube videos embedded, as it wouldn't show the video on any https webpage anywhere on the web, unless you clicked accept every time or changed the setting. Safari just does it for you, isolating the secure from non-secure, and making the page overall non-secure (http), but will instantly change back to https on all other secure pages.

Safari is the smartest on the market today, and has been for a couple of years now.

Two registered people in my state. One guest in my town. I feel like finding them! Kidding, kidding......
 
I wouldn't always trust that data as being accurate, for example, sometimes we get logged in via Melbourne, Sydney or Adelaide, two of which are near 1000km away. It depends on the networks load, maintenance, so forth, as to where you get routed as logged in from.
 
Oh very true. My Facebook log ins state I log in from Massachusetts. I'm quite a few states away! But, it currently has my location correct (well I assume that green marker is me...)

I wonder if it would change if I log on with 4g on my iPhone.... (can you tell I'm bored tonite? Lol)
 
Decided that as intensely curious as I am that I don't want to go through the rigors of figuring out how to see it. And I don't particularly want my location to show up either. Is there a way to opt out? Let's face it, If I wanted more than anonymity I'd use my real name. As it is I changed my location to something very vague.
 
How is this any less anonymous? The green marker isn't linked to your profile. And the green marker isn't necessarily exact, either.
 
Yeah, okay, my pattern is "hiding" and my preference is "anonymous". It is irrational. But also complicit is whether or not I will be willing to tweek my computer settings... and I am not, because I am at present overloaded and have nothing available to learn anything new.
