Thanks Gary this is just another of your awesome videos.
Gary, I have had my Mac mini M1 for 4 years now. I have learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you for what. you do.
Wonderful tutorial, Gary. Thank you.
Good suggestions. Note that recent versions of Brave have removed the "Toggle Reader Mode" option, but you can still download a "reader mode" extension. My daily driver is Brave, but increasingly I find Safari is better integrated into the Mac UI, for example providing autocompletion and reader mode.
Gosh... I always use the Aa button but forgetting there's an in app setting for it 😂😂
Great thanks for 7:50 tip. That's really wonderful to know, Gary ❤
You had me at Wombat
I was fiddling with these settings while following along with this video. Thank you. 😁 I had become well-acquainted with the Accessibility settings on iPad and iPhone (Bold Text, Larger Text), which were a lifesaver in recent years, after experiencing new sight loss. I used the Accessibility Wizard/Ease of Access Center on Windows; it was adequate, but would not be enough now.
Great for my increasingly elderly eyes!
A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
Thanks very much, Gary, for this informative video! Very interesting ways to enlarge a website's text.
Thanks
As always your the best Gary!
Good stuff. I never much cared for css sheets. I'd forget about them and wonder why something didn't look right. Safari does just about everything I want to do, on its own. So, I just stick with it.
I did not have the same options in Chrome settings as far as reading mode. Chrome usually asks me to update so I think I'm using the current version.
Thank you very much. This is very helpful for those of us in our senior years. Another subject that would be of interest is, when having to Macs on the same home network (in my case two 2017 iMacs), how to set-up and use Screen Sharing and File Sharing. I am having trouble, which may be something specific to my computers. I am successfully using Screen Sharing (which was a bit tricky setting up since you don't see a Screen Sharing app in the normal list of Applications in the Finder - had to use Spotlight to find it). I have set up File Sharing on both Macs, checking each Mac several times, but for some reason I cannot see the folders / files on the other Mac (so I can transfer files between Macs). I continue to investigate this issue. Many thanks. 🙂
What's your use for this? Today, I would just have both Macs using iCloud Drive, and they would both have the same apps. So you wouldn't ever need to screen share or file share. Just use the app and the file you want on the Mac in front of you.
@@macmost The intent is to use Screen Sharing and File Sharing to transfer files between the computers, as well as I can perform maintenance of my wife's computer from my office computer, without always going to her office area. In other business, we are also testing out the use of MS Teams for family video conferences with our two daughters who live some distance away. We got very frustrated with using Skype (it has changed a lot over the years, not becoming easier), so have been checking into Zoom as well. Many thanks for your welcome reply. 🙂
@@walterreil4001 So these are two computers with different users. I see. You didn't mention that before (you said "my" computers, which threw me off). Not sure where you could be going wrong with File Sharing. You just have to check all of the settings carefully.
🤫 Don’t tell anyone, but if you can launch reader view fast enough, you can often bypass a paywall. Hit that icon immediately the page starts loading and you can get the paywalled article loaded into reader before the site can slam the door in your face. It doesn’t always work but it works often enough to be useful.
One of the stupidest things in macOS is that there is no support for zooming with scroll wheel…
No Apple hardware includes a scroll wheel though. If you bought a third-party mouse with a scroll wheel, it would be up to the manufacturer to support it with software. Apple isn't going to develop the software for the maker of the mouse, they have to do it.
@@macmost well, on windows or Linux manufacturers don’t have to develop special SW to support zoom by mouse wheel. It’s just part of the system. I think Apple would only win if they adopted such obvious conveniences from other OSes (like they recently did with windows tiling).
@@gosich Totally different. Windows and Linux are independent operating systems designed to work on hardware from various vendors. Example: you buy a Dell and you get Microsoft Windows on it. If Windows was not designed to handle third-party hardware it wouldn't work at all. The whole point is that it works on third-party hardware. Macs and macOS are from the same company, designed only to work with each other. Apple sometimes meets third-party companies in the middle (like printer makers). In fact it probably does meet third-party mouse makers in the middle, providing APIs for them to use. But it is still up to the maker of your mouse to get their scroll wheel to do things on a Mac. Are you sure the maker of your mouse doesn't do this?
@@macmost yes, e.g. Logitech support app has many whistles, but not for zoom with mouse wheel. Possibly, because that would require interception of modifier keys from keyboard as well, which would require additional access rights.
I understand “Apple’s approach” for the market. However, I’m sure their products would only benefit from being more open and extensible, as well as from adopting popular features which were originally out of “Apple philosophy”. I’m also sure, that Apple is changing in that direction, which we can see with each major update. It’s just very slow. Once macOS becomes more, uhmmm, “flexible”, it will easily steal big chunk of Windows users. I believe, the goal of any businesses is to make profit, not to be “special” (unless it helps make more profit).
