Check the Activity Monitor, the frame drops could be CPU-related. Spotlight is probably indexing, etc.

I actually switched to the Technology Preview months ago when Safari was acting like shit on a lot of sites. Try installing that (it gets its own settings so you don't have to worry about it damaging your current install. And you can uninstall or switch between them at will it you need to.) and see if it runs better.
I don't know when I'll ever switch back to Safari proper. I haven't even tested it in a while. I do hate that clicking a web site notification opens Safari instead of my default browser though. I wish I could fix that. I mean the notification settings are global so it just needs to be fixed to open the default instead of Safari.
Just a note for slow startups - got to System preferences->Startup disk. It SHOULD have listed under the window of all options: "You have selected OS X, 10.x.x on the dis "YOUR HD". If it doesn't, then select your main start up disk and restart.
Sometimes slow boot times are attributed to a startup disk not being selected. It will then hunt things like network and other mounted disks and find the "closest" one to boot to. This is usually still fast, but sometimes depending on your setup, it can cause delays.
IF you want to be super thorough, reset PRAM before doing the above (resting PRAM will actually reset the startup disk to be unselected, so the above tip is for anyone who has actually reset PRAM as well).
edit: Is there an OT for Sierra?
Nope, it's highest end quad core i7, 16GB Mem, 512GB SSD, etc. Indexing already completed.
On El Capitan and older Safari = no dropped frames in 60fps video.
Can you check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qK7SNAd1ds right mouse click on video enable stats for nerds and take screen cap? I know it's a slightly newer build so I'd love to know if Apple have already fixed this. Don't want to install it if it has the same issue.

Setting "Default web browser" in System Preferences -> General doesn't work for notification links?
try the safari tech preview

ugh the messages app not having parity with the ipad and iphone version is is so dumb.

Is there any way to remap keys without Karabiner? The backspace key is broken on my MBA so I remap it to right-option.

I assume it's based on the built-in Bluetooth, yeah?

Apple just feels stuck since Jobs left. Everything feels like a slight refinement of what came before.
anyone have any issues with 10.12 and Lightroom?

I emailed him a commercial idea for the AirPods and he never got back to me. I expected to be promoted to head of marketing by now

What do you feel is lacking compared to Windows 10? Serious question, I can't say I've kept up with the Windows side lately.

Yeah I've got the same machine and I am getting frame drops here. Though I don't notice them.
Nope. It ignores the setting and launches Safari every time. It's annoying.

Oooh, thank you for the advice. I took a look and I already have the proper startup disc selected, but I've never heard of the PRAM thing before.
I also discovered that you can erase a partition without having to reformat the entire drive, so I'm gonna try that, then do the PRAM thing if it doesn't help, and if neither of those work I'll make a boot disc of Sierra and do a fresh install.
Just the general look and feel. The flat style seems modern and clean compared to OSX
Not that OSX is bad, but its just been iterated on for too long. It doesnt help that the big feature this time is Siri, which seems especially useless on a computer
Isn't Cortana one of the flagship features of windows 10?
Requires 802.11ac for some of the time-of-flight fancy shit it does, supposedly.
Whaaa? The watch surely doesn't support AC?

I'd like to make a Dolan duck of going to Sierra, coming out, and it was all Siri.
Installing now on my MBA and Mini but reading the feature list, not a single feature interests me. Maybe the picture in picture thing. Mostly just getting it for security updates

It doesn't, but 802.11ac is the only real difference between the WiFi/BT hardware in the Macs that support it versus those that don't, and putting an 802.11ac AirPort card in an incompatible Mac apparently activates the feature, so they must be relying on some hardware feature of that card.
You can double-right-click YouTube videos in Safari to activate PiP on Sierra.
Google / Youtube doesn't get nearly enough flak for never implementing the most useful features of iOS / macOS, really. (in time, that is)
Youtube still doesn't do PiP on the iPad, even though that possibility has been around for a year now.
Similarly, i don't expect them to implement Safari's PiP feature in their player anytime soon.
Having a hovering player window would be such a convenient feature.

Interesting. Well guess I'm buying a new MBP! At least it works on my work MBP
haha, what the hell?! you're a saint! thanks!
this is great, works exactly as it does in iOS (except for it scaling seamlessly up to a certain size. You can even "hide it" offscreen)
also, it's kinda funny how the built in "cleanmymac" wants me to delete my iMovie library. (should be whitelisted imho)
also, the macOS sierra page on apple.com says
any way to manually scan for these duplicates / caches / whatnot?

Still nothing :/
It does, you have to pay for YouTube Red to get it. No thanks.
The bug fixes are likely minor enough they're not going to update GM candidates to the final GM. If you're that worried, just download the final GM and install it. Otherwise, relax and wait for 10.12.1 to get the same build. No big deal.
In fact, the same thing happened with El Capitan.

Wait, you can get PIP on YouTube in Safari but only if you pay for YouTube Red?
I downloaded from the store and installed.

How did you get that work? I tried youtube in both safari and chrome and I didn't see an option to do that.
How do you read something while watching a video?

Upgraded to macOS sierra (macbook pro 2011), fuck this shit. So awful, everything is fucked.
Can you be more specific?

I hate that YouTube in Safari doesn't just use the standard video player.
Edit:
Seems like the new portrait feature is in the 10.1 Beta.

Chrome tabs freeze, Voip software doesn't work anymore, crap quality from my headphones, other programs crash. What the fuck, this is just awful.

Right-click once to bring up the YouTube right-click menu. Then right-click again to get the native macOS right-click menu with the option to open it in PIP.
It was a Let's Play so was hardly demanding of my attention.
