A few days ago I wrote an article on PayPal’s plan to target unsafe browsers. Today I saw an article from PC World about how PayPal states they plan to not block current browsers.
According to 9 to 5 Mac:
PayPal Corporate Communications spokesman, Michael Oldenburg said, “PayPal is developing features to block customers from logging into PayPal when using obsolete browsers on outdated or unsupported operating systems.
So this seems to let off the hook whatever the current version of Safari is on the current Macintosh OS but may still mean that Safari on older versions of the Mac OS may be considered as dangerous. I’m not going to rehash my previous post as it is still mostly relevant. I am still curious if Apple will change some of it’s past practice in regards to updating Safari on older versions of the OS. I don’t believe you can run Safari version 3 on anything but Mac OS 10.5. So anyone still running 10.4 or even 10.3 is out of luck?
We shall see…
