   Safari 9.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released [1]Safari 9.0, available for OS X 10.10 Yosemite and
   10.9 Mavericks (and included with 10.11 El Capitan). The updated Web
   browser adds controls to mute audio from any open tab, brings
   additional viewing options for Safari Reader, and improves AutoFill
   compatibility. However, the new Pinned Sites feature (which enables you
   to keep favorite Web sites open and active) is available only with
   Safari 9.0 on El Capitan. On the security front, the update puts paid
   to a number of vulnerabilities, including issues with Safari
   extensions, LaunchServices' quarantine history, and memory corruption
   issues that existed in WebKit (see complete details at this Apple
   Support [2]security content page). Safari 9.0 is available only via
   Software Update. (Free, 85.4 MB, 10.9+)
