This d/l on the MacUpdate page to which I linked is for Catalina.

I d/l'ed it, and it launched as expected in my 10.15.7.

it says it's for Catalina but after I downloaded it, I got a message saying this update needs macOS version 11.0. I don't know what to tell you.

OK, I see what I did. I downloaded from the first download button I saw on the page you gave me which was for 11.0. I just now looked and found it for Catalina a little further down. Crossing my fingers.

I downloaded Safari Technology Preview. It migrated some stuff over like my extensions but not my start page or bookmarks, history, or some other things. How do I get the rest of my info migrated over from my other Safari? I hope it's not complicated. Thanks.

In TOR what security level ddi you have set? Standard, Safer, or Safest?

There are two report options. choose detailed and then be sure to read each of the "LEARN MORE" tabs.

Personally I have come to prefer Brave to TOR as a secure browser. It is more usable as it takes a different approach to signatures. Rather than hiding the signature Brave randomizes it so that it is never the same. The only disadvantage is it is based on Google Chrome and uses Chrome extensions and I have zero trust in those extensions. Like TOR, Brave can use Onion Routing but it is an option.

In the meantime my go to browser is Safari Technology Preview. It isn't the most secure, but it has the best interconnectivity with my other major software tools and there is more to come in macOS 12, iOS 15, and iPadOS 15.

FWIW: I have submitted a suggestion to Apple that they randomize Safari's signature in the same way that Brave does. Who knows, it could happen.

Mine has always synched completely but that may be because I have iCloud synch enabled. I just spent an hour looking for the location of the Safari start page contents and although I found a lot of start page related files and folders the location of the content has eluded me completely. I will keep looking, but its time for church so I have to go now.
