Still not the latest WebKit, as it only scores 75 on the AcidTest3.

WTF a restart again?! Apple please stop hooking Safari so damn far into your OS.

I’ve been using Safari 4 with webkit nightlies for months now. Now that is snappy. The only issue I have is with macdailynews.com–one of the slowest loading websites around.

If I open a folder with multiple bookmarks, Safari crashes every time. This happened in the previous update and it happens consistently with 3.2.1
This is the first time I’ve ever had an Apple update that did not pass muster.

Not so funny, however, is the fact that I STILL can’t get on Flickr… ARGH!!

@Jeremy: you wrote, “For the vast majority of users Safari is THE most stable, crash-free browser there ever was. No matter how many people whine about their particular problems.”

How do you know this? Independent research? Speak personally to “the vast majority of users”?

I like Safari and prefer to use it – but I also use Firefox – and Safari crashes far more often than Firefox.

What!! Another release of Safari? When are they going to get it right? I think I will stay with FireFox which is a far better and more secure browser IMHO.

Did anyone noticed that Safari is now supporting Extended Validation SSL? The name of company shows up on top right corner in green. Much nicer than green URL bar at top.
