Surprised it's not been mentioned already.

https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1869

This update:

• Adds the ability to passcode-protect notes containing personal data in Notes
• Adds the ability to sort notes alphabetically, by date created, or date modified in Notes
• Adds the ability to import Evernote files into Notes
• Adds support for sharing Live Photos between iOS and OS X via AirDrop and Messages
• Addresses an issue that may cause RAW images to open slowly in Photos
• Adds the ability for iBooks to store PDFs in iCloud, making them available across all your devices
• Fixes an issue that prevented loading Twitter t.co links in Safari
• Prevents JavaScript dialogs from blocking access to other webpages in Safari
• Fixes an issue that prevented the VIPs mailbox from working with Gmail accounts
• Fixes an issue that caused USB audio devices to disconnect
• Improves the compatibility and reliability of Apple USB-C Multiport Adapters

Bolded and underlined a fix that's especially important to me as I've been suffering from this one since El Capitan was released.

Just noticed that you can now store PDFs in the iBook cloud. About time. Always thought that was a weird omission.

Also it's either this update or ios 9.3, but two factor authentication is now available to everyone.

I did a fresh install and everything worked fine.

Does anyone notice the beachball quite often in Safari browser?

It does not seem to effect anything and goes away after a few seconds after I click on something else.

Also today I had the beachball when I had Safari and Apple mail open, everything was screwing up and I could not force quit from the apple menu as it would not open and key combos did not work either.
I had to power off/on from iMac button.

Its quite annoying, first time its happened like that, Im pretty sure its El Capitan screwing around and not any iMac performance problem, Ive only used about 40gb of my 500gb flash storage.

My Safari is broken, having to use Chrome at the moment as Safari hangs, bombs out and is slow and clunky ....

I didn't know anyone still used Safari. I ditched it years ago in favour of Chrome and FF. I also find Postbox much better than Apple mail.

I thought Safari was the most used browser by Apple users?

Not had any beachballs since I restarted my iMac.

I think that needs to be broken down further. I make a distinction as I find there are computer users who use Apple products and then there are Apple users.

I very rarely use Safari on my Mac, Chrome is my browser of choice.

iMacMart · 10 Apr 2016 at 09:08

Think I'll ditch it now in that case, never had any real issues until now

Shame

I tend to use Chrome or Firefox on my Mac, mainly as I can sync those across from my PCs.

MagicBoy · 15 Apr 2016 at 23:29

I'm perfectly happy with Safari. And Apple Mail. Have been for 10 years...

But what else have you tried?

I really hate Safari ! FireFox for me

Starting a sentence with "But" comes off as somewhat rude my fellow forum member.

In answer to your impudent query:
Firefox, but not used it regularly in years as I prefer Safari. I refuse to touch Chrome with someone else bargepole. It's a badly written resource hogging pile of crap.
