Why is the Safari update like 2.5 times larger then all of Firefox is? That's just aggravating...
Great, now I have to uncheck the intrusive Safari "INSTALL ME" box for the next three weeks before I decide, "screw it" and install the new version, even though I don't want it, but I'll do it so it will stop hassling me.
I was hoping Safari's Reset would be fixed. The reset doesn't work reliably. You have to change an option each time for it to work.

What's with all the "Requires a restart" nonsense?
Is this to make it compatible with Windows?
okay.. good work people.. nwo please make it not hang...
I'm tired of using command-option-escape.
good work on the charlie miller thing though. so it could execute code. so maybe it actually was a big enough vulnerability.
good job.
Doubtful. It's only a x.x.1 revision. The Acid-3 test still reports 75/100. It's my understanding that the internal WebKit builds now pass all 100 tests.Does anyone know if this is based on a newer version of Webkit?
I don't know about hanging but Ars Technica's feed makes Safari unresponsive for a short period of time. Something about 333 articles, each one with an advertising image or two.But the real question is: Are large RSS feeds going to keep making it hang?
You could go to the menu and tell Software Updates to hide Safari. It won't show up anymore, until you explicitly decide to show it again.Great, now I have to uncheck the intrusive Safari "INSTALL ME" box for the next three weeks before I decide, "screw it" and install the new version, even though I don't want it, but I'll do it so it will stop hassling me.
WebKit is used by things that run in the background (like Dashboard). But you're right, a reboot shouldn't strictly be necessary. Quitting and restarting WebKit-using apps should be enough. At worst, a change like this should mandate a log-out, not a full reboot.What's with all the "Requires a restart" nonsense?
P.S. No Windows Vista bashing, or I'll have your heads.

I hate to rob you of your righteous fury, but you could just select "Ignore Update..." from the Update menu...
This, to me, means that the final version of 10.5.3 is not due out for a while--otherwise Apple wouldn't have released Safari 3.1.1 as a separate, high priority update.

I'm just curious why I have to reboot a Mac after upgrading a web browser...
Who cares anyway, is a restart so life threatening? It takes me less then 30 sec. Boohoo
Because Dashboard uses Webkit, so that also needs to restart. It's stupid though that Apple doesn't just restart Dashboard and be done with it. But this is imo a more safer way and to ensure nothing goes wrong if you don't restart. Who cares anyway, is a restart so life threatening? It takes me less then 30 sec. Boohoo
Well, yah it's a bother. I have a dozen things open and doing lots of different edits. To save everything, close everything, and then re-open everything after restart is a huge pain. Easier to close software update and upgrade another day.
hey, If I wanted to restart all the time, I'd buy a PC. ;-)
Well, my friend, your Dashboard theory is not-so-true. I'm on a Windows Vista computer (I'll have your heads if you bash! ) and it asks me to restart my computer or my computer will blow up into a radioactive landmine.
Not everyone is running Leopard!
What has the mankind come to... I don't want to bash Mac, but the software update is 23MB on Windows, 39MB on a Mac.

I wonder if the habitual whiners in this forum are still gonna complain about Apple's "tardy reaction" to security issues...Apple not only promptly listens to its customers when it comes to OS criticism (such as Stacks), but also addresses in due course the relevant issues that are identified...
GO APPLE!
