Full FeedPayPal welcomes Safari back into the fold
PayPal was considering blocking Safari users from accessing their website due to security risks that the browser has a few days ago. Because Safari doesn’t have any built-in support for anti-phishing, it was considered very unsafe by PayPal. I can bring Safari and PayPal users good news: Safari has been spared from PayPal’s list of soon-to-be-banned web browsers. I have a feeling there was a lot of controversy about this decision; considering Safari now affects Windows, OS X and the iPhone.
PayPal has definitely raised awareness that Safari is less safe to use than Firefox which has phishing prevention methods. Hopefully, Apple can integrate and learn some of Mozilla’s security techniques into the next version of Safari. PayPal will still be blocking “old browsers and old operating systems” - a.k.a. Internet Explorer 4 on Windows 98 - a situation I’m sure few of you have.
