macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

I am using macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 on a mid-2010 iMac computer. With the latest push for everyone to update Safari to fix some vulnerabilities, I obviously cannot. Question is if I continue to use my current version Safari 13.1.2, am I protected? If not, I assume I should be using google chrome, firefox, duck duck go, as an example for my browser moving forward until I am able to make a new Apple purchase.


Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

While Safari 13 will still work for somethings. I have found that Safari 13 is no longer considered secure by banking servers for one example, plus it will no longer work for tax software like TurboTax and various media streaming sites like Xfinity.

Again if you find that using Google Chrome is bogging down your old iMac, then Mozilla FireFox is the way to go.

I just got off the phone with Apple Support. I was told that if I am using the latest version that my computer will allow (10.13.6 High Sierra and Safari 13.1.2) that I am PROTECTED against the latest security vulnerabilities with Safari. That doesn't seem to make sense to me and I wanted to get the Apple Support community to weigh in.


Thanks,
