Adobe acrobat for mac 10 7 5. I am having DirecTV Now streaming issues with Safari 11.1.2 on a Mac Pro 10.13.6. Microsoft Silverlight Internet Browser Plugin: 5.1.50901.0: 2018-08-15: Numbers. You can stream your favorite movies and shows on Google Chrome and Safari. You can use the DIRECTV NOW app when viewing on smartphones and tablets. DIRECTV NOW Browser Support We're no longer supporting DIRECTV NOW on. AT&T's DirecTV Now has started to warn users of its Internet TV service that it will stop supporting Safari on Mac for streaming video at the end of June, with subscribers advised to switch to. Aside from some outlier web browsers, you can use DirecTV Now on pretty much any of the latest hardware. Here's a breakdown of what works: TV Devices that work with DirecTV Now. Google chrome install on windows 7. I remember receiving an survey during my trial period last month asking me what are ways to improve DIRECTV Now and I mentioned how I was upset they were dropping Safari browser support and not implementing an native HTML5 video player in Safari.
As originally reported by AppleInsider, AT&T-owned DIRECTV NOW is dropping support for watching its service using the Safari and Internet Explorer web browsers. Starting in June, the TV streaming service will only support Google's Chrome browser.
As of today, when users log in to DIRECTV NOW through one of these browsers, they're greeted with the following message:
'For our best streaming experience, DIRECTV NOW will live exclusively on Google Chrome when accessed via your computer. We will no longer be supporting Safari or Internet Explorer browsers after June. And of course the DIRECTV NOW App will still be your go-to when streaming on your mobile devices.'
The message concludes with a link to download Chrome on your computer, or stay in your current browser (for now).

AT&T isn't stating (yet) the reasoning behind this, but did confirm to AppleInsider that's it's accurate. What's odd is that DIRECTV NOW is using a Microsoft service to play videos in its service (Silverlight), but they're not supporting Microsoft Edge as a browser to watch those videos. The timing of all this is interesting, too—given Apple's claims at their developer's conference this week of the signifcant performance difference between Safari and Chrome.

It's too early to tell, but it's worth wondering how this will affect their customers in the long-term. The service is primarily aimed at people watching using the DIRECTV NOW app on their phone or tablet, or on a TV using a media streamer like an Apple TV or Chromecast. But there's certainly a large segment of people who love to watch TV on their computer, but don't want to use Chrome. And for those people, it's possible some of DIRECTV NOW's competitors—like Sling TV, YouTube TV, Hulu TV, and more—might try to pry those customers away by giving them more options for viewing.
