MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Its fast yah, i love it... it glides. But it also crashes alot!

awsome

Isn't it still beta?

How's Safari market share tracking?

Odd, mine almost never crashes. Wonder what the variables are?

What about a comparison with Opera?

NO ONE CARES.

Really. It could be the sweetest browser in the universe that knows what page I want to go to next, no one would care still. Drop it.

Sorry Safari team, but no adblock, no use in my house. I'll stick with Firefox. Whenever I open one of the sites I visit in Safari, there's so many ads all over the place, I feel like I'm being assaulted. Have you guys ever tried to visit macdailynews in a browser that doesn't block ads? Did you enjoy it?

Safari crashes often?

My Safari 3 beta hasn't crashed once since the day it was made available...

@Re: Opera

Correction: YOU don't care. Which is fine. Just don't knock the people who do.

I do not and have never used an adblocker, and somehow I have managed to survive just fine.

@Jooop - just try Safariblock... works fine for me.

@Jooop

You can add an adblocker to Safari easily enough.

I'm forced to use windows at work, and Safari is much better than IE. However it does crash alot, like almost everytime I print.
Don't even try posting an ad on craigs list. After you think the ad is all done, press the publish key and page not found. Backspace and everythings blank. All that work for nothing. I hope they develope Safari for windows to fix these type of problems

Pretty much I can use it for general web browsing and im fine, but anytime I try to do anything "advanced" it crashes.

Im fine though, im getting my iMac soon.

@Jooop:

If you don't like the advertisements there is a simple solution:

Download:

Place this css file in your document folder and reference in Safari/Preferences/Advanced/StyleSheet

and voila!

Thanks to markdo

Safari sucks.

I've been using safari 3 beta since it came out and its crashed a few times. It usually crashes when I try to access a rss feed but thats what you get with a beta. I've tried all the browsers for the mac and I used to be a huge firefox fan(almost bought a firefox tshirt) but eventually after a few months I got sick of the poor integration with os x services, the ugly and impractical interface and the poor quality of user made themes. I love safari with its focus on quality not quantity of features. Its not comprised of confusing thick layers of toolbars like opera. IMO Safari renders webpages the best out all the browsers. One problem though is that its a memory hog and this is on a core 2 duo imac. Hopefully, this was solved in leopard.

safari crashes constantly for me ( on multiple macs)

I tired to pare down all plug ins and keep the ones I do use up to date. Flip 4 mac, Java, Flash, & Quartz are the only ones installed. No other thirdparty add ins.

Nothing really seems to help.

it does occur to me it may be a very buggy website I visit often may be the cause, but I've never been able to isolate the website.

I'm also a heavy tab user and routinely have 10-15 sites open.

Safari crashes a lot on my Mac... especially with Divx video

Friggin' safari crashed when I hit this link.

My crashes have been almost totally random.

If there's one site I can pinpoint it'd be CNN.com
But that site is a mess anyway.
I just hate to wait for my humor of the day

Macaday - Safari 3 beta crashes on me some, too - I'm not sure what the conflict is - I've never seen much crashing out of Safari before.
I'm anxious to see if the Leopard version has the same troubles...

My Safari 3 beta crashes several times a day.

Fast, but fast to crash, too.

I cannot get Safari to work on my Windows XP work machine, and never have been able to.

As far as ad blocking! Hit ctrl+shift+k. It turns on the "Block Pop Up Windows" feature. Which by the way, safari was the first browser to even have that feature, granted it was only on the mac at the time.

In light of your feedback, perhaps you should drop "The Man" from your handle.

"Vaguarities" is not an English word on Planet Earth. Perhaps, it is on Computerworld.

But it doesn't support full-screen viewing, so who cares?

"...the vaguarities of Web server loads..."

I believe the word they were searching for is "vagaries".

"'Vaguarities' is not an English word on Planet Earth."

I'm pretty sure I heard George W. mention the vaguarities of nukuler stratageries. And he's real smart.

I wish safari was as fast on a mac as with windows. I have a g4 and i have to force quit safari 2 or 3 times a day. Also safari is ok in US english but will not load in french.

Hey, did anyone else try to pronounce the researchers' name? Phonetically, it's something like cheeseburger, which I think is awesome!

Solid point about Bush's language skills.

HOWEVER, don't forget the Great War Monger of the 20th century, Lyndon Baines Johnson (58,000 American dead in a war of absolutely no consequence), who could barely put two words together and make any sense of them.

Talk about your "smart"!

But what about those kick ass Viet Nam Movies!
We won every time

And Rambo

Chuck Fucking Norris!!!

And CCR

And hippies

And Acid...:/

Somewhere deep in Windows' fat ugly guts, there wouldn't happen to be a little bit of code that randomly scrambles and kills AAPL processes, would there?

I give 50/50 odds on this. MS is evil enough to do it, but nothing they do ever works right. Maybe that's why the "crashes" are intermittent?

@anak...

Wow. I used that css popup suggestion and it really works! Geeze... I think I like it!

Golly, I sure love George Bush.
Stupid liberals, trying to trick us into believing in global warming.
There ain't no global warming, just like there weren't no global freezing thirty years ago. It's just the liberals trying to crush our great American spirit.

Real adblocking is not about pop-ups, it's about the annoying ads embedded in pages.

Safari cookie handling also sucks-all or nothing.

Sorry, I want my ad blocking and decent cookie handling-so firefox it is.

Steve Jobs hates you, and will kill you Firefox.

As long as Safari crashes as much as it does - Firefox will always have a home.

Has anyone experienced a crash with Safari 3 when trying to download a PDF link from a website? I had to either use Firefox or (God forbid) Internet Explorer to download a PDF file.

Am I the only one here using Camino?

This is a great adblocking thing that works really well. Ten dollars is nothing compared to not knowing what ads everyone is talking about, and being shocked and disgusted when I am using someone else's computer.

All these speed trials are why we can't get anymore good meth.

And that was not me at 9:28.

My favorite feature of Safari for Winbloze is that it is the only one of the major browsers to support ICC profiles. Makes a huge difference when you publish on .mac and you view your pics on a PC. The colors are screwed up on Firefox and IE but correct with Safari. Check out the ICC test site below and you will see what I mean.

"Am I the only one here using Camino?"

That would be a safe bet

I'll get you Explorer, and your little Fox too...

Chuck Norris said use Safari, and I did. You don't want to mess with Chuck.

After using Safari, then switching back to Firefox, Firefox looks bad. I really love the rendering in Safari.

Though it does crash every now and then. And I'd would still like it to sync with my Mac bookmarks...........

Oh no, Chuck is giving me the LOOK..........

Safari just plain sucks. Fanboys, of course, may choose to disagree.

Vague irregularities = Vaguarities

Presto! A new English word.
