It hasn't fixed the crashing on imdb.com either for me. I can browse it fine, but if I click back several times fast. It eventually beachballs then crashes.
Got a tip for us?

Since when does making the best software equal making perfect software? The real joke here is your post.

Apple needs to get their act together and make safari allot better then it is, they also need to get the ball rolling on getting java up to date, or hand it back to Sun to get it up to date for Apple (cause Apple isnt doing the job, cause someone needs to). Apple needs to kick Adobe in the butt for having a very un-optimized flash player for Mac (PPC or Intel).
the reason People prefer firefox (on windows or OS X) or IE over safari is cause they are more compatible and work allot better. if Apple actually spent time with safari to get it right then maybe more people would use it, until then People are going to stay away from safari.
Apple has made safari allot better then what it was, but they could have done allot more to it then what they have done so far.
imdb.com works fine for me (it just gets choked and slow with all of the Ad's and whatnot on the site), i spent a few hours surfing around on it and going back with no ill effect. i have not seen that many crashes with safari, the main issues i have is performance issues that should not be there, like a long beachball wile trying to go to a site, or when its loading a site ( it totally locks safari up until its done having its fit). or scrolling on a site and a flash ad makes safari choke when it shows the ad.
when i can take a 500mhz celeron compaq with 128mb ram running XP pro using firefox or IE and outperform my DA 533 on any site, is just retarded. the performance should almost be the same, but its far from it.

worked for me
Safari 3 used to balk at yahoo's newest home page, and quit when using their 'yellow pages' like search box. Immediately following the update, all that bad behavior quit and Safari is stable again.

Safari is still locking up on my MBP whenever I check Webmail. Started around the same time the keyboard started locking. Keyboard SEEMS fixed. Safari not for me.
Have to use Opera.

2007-009 (v1.1) Broke my Wacom
My Intuos3 was working fine until V 1.1 came along.
I'm not happy.
I think I found a temporary fix on Wacom's site. How does THAT happen?

Safari still Crashes after update
Safari is still crashing for me even after the update. I am still experiencing crashes when using TD Ameritrade and my University of Hawaii student website. The problems I am encountering in Safari are by far the worst that I have seen in quite some time.

anyone tried webkit, you can submit a bug to them and they at least listen to you and try to help to track the issue and resolve it. unlike Apple and telling you to update to Leopard ( or a newer version of something instead of looking into it and seeing why it does it) cause so and so was fixed in the newer version. Apple has gave me the run around a few times trying to get them to fix a issue ( incompatibility's) with safari on a given web site. saying they dont see any issues or to update to leopard.
come on Apple fix your App's and make them work like they should, or is this how they are suppose to work.
with the faster and more powerful hardware out today Apple's App's are becoming more and more bloated and resource hogging then ever, and you wont see most of the bloat and hogging cause your Mac powers threw it (most of the times). wile a slower system chokes on it. it goes to show you they put less effort into optimizing any given App cause of the newer systems speed and power (and the cycle continues). cause to people with these new Mac's they see the App as running normal ( or close to it), when its really hogging and being bloated more then what it should. Yea most is due to new features, but that should not give Apple a excuse to not properly optimize their software.

Safari isn't the only application affected by this revised update. Every Apple application that accesses the internet or renders html uses WebKit. This would include Mail, iTunes, iWeb. The issue was in WebKit, not Safari.
I have an old G4 tower with a CPU upgrade. The update sat at the rotating
gray screen, then started to boot. However, a dialog box popped up with a message about permissions being wrong on some startup items (I've seen this before, I think it has to do with Retrospect). I told it to go ahead and do it as I always do. It now does not boot at all, the screen stays mostly black (sometimes some weird "almost-black" patterns show up). I cannot use 'C' to boot from the Tiger Install CD, nor option to get it into single-user mode. I've disconnected all FW and USB connectors except the keyboard and mouse.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Despite the slight speed deficit, I've pretty much gone full FireFox and even deleted Safari from my system. Not much point in going back since the extensions and features have spoiled me rotten.
As for repairing permissions before updates, I used to do that, until the last Quicktime update broke that function.

I just installed 10.4.11 upgrade with Safari 3 after several failed attempts. It finally completed download on Software Update and asked me to restart, which I did. Funny thing is, I have noticed absolutely no difference in the look or functionality of Safari 3 vs. 2. I checked the "get info" on Safari to verify that it is indeed version 3, but it performs identical to version 2. The Safari preference options are identical to before... Isn't there supposed to be a noticeable change from the upgrade? Is it possible that my upgrade didn't really complete itself, so that it is labeled in the "get info" as upgrade but not really completely so? I was hoping to get something new and stunning out of all of this, but maybe its too subtle for me to appreciate at this point.
