Apple Releases Safari 3.2 with Improved Security, Anti-Phishing

^ its "a lot"! sorry its just ever since my Dad corrected me angrily when i was a kid its stuck in my head. my mission is to allude to every "a lot" misspeller on earth that its actually two words!

its not that your Blogger site doesnt work in Safari its the developers of Blogger didnt develop the site to full web standards and didnt test it in Safari.
 
richthomas: that may not actually be the case; rich text editing in Safari has been pretty buggy, although many of the bugs have been fixed, and most of the rest are fixed in trunk (and therefore for Safari 4 once it's out).

I don't know whether that applies to blogger though.

Meh, I use alot all the time, just as I use goto - its a habit from my programming days. Everytime I've handed in my assignments the lecturer looks and asks, "let my guess, you used to programme" :p (not that it affected my mark in anyway).

Google/Blogger don't want to change so the only alternative is for Safari/Apple to step up to the crease and do something about it because right now it is pretty pathetic when Opera/Firefox don't have the same problem.
 
Improved my a$$. The only thing it does now is crash Safari when you try to use Google Video Chat. Apple wants us to use iChat, instead of the new awesomeness released by Google that has great picture quality (H.264 that works better than Apple's) -haha.
 
Use Inquisitor!

The problem with the Search bar in Safari is that it doesn't display local results.

I don't use google.com, I use google.co.uk

Apple would rather get royalties from Google than do things to please customers.

Guys if you use Inquisitor you get to choose which search engine you want, and which version.
You just install it then go to safari preferences, then Inquisitor tab, and you can choose from a long list of Google.fr, google.nl, google.co.uk etc even yahoo if you want.

Another big benefit that I see over the search sugestions that you get with say firefox or chrome is say i type in: "M-au" and it autocompletes: "M-audio.com", clicking on that result takes you to the actual website, not Google first, where Id have to click again where I want to go. Its just much faster. I find it so annoying when I use firefox. Is there a plugin that works exactly like this on firefox?

But seriously should check Inquisitor:)

So if the green name doesn't show up, does that mean it isn't secure. I just went to chase.com and it doesn't show that. Then I went to Charles Schwab and it does.

What gives?

also note that if you click on the green name it provides you details of the security.

Any of the ones that aren't truncated with a (...) give me a phishing warning. If I click into the ID on the truncated ones and get the full URL those also give me warnings.

Thats weird! Now it works for me
Thanks
 
Has anyone who uses 1password upgraded? I don't see why there would be an issue but I want to make sure before taking the plunge.
 
SSL certificate validation has been in safari for quite some time. Before 3.2, safari only had a lock in the top right corner. Now, Safari has green text beside the lock for popular sites that are often counterfeited for phishing. Safari 3.2 just makes you more aware of the anti-phishing measures already in safari. This method of anti-phishing protection is better than others because it tells you when a site is good rather then when it is bad. The guy at paypal whining about safari is not quite that bright. Relying on anti-phishing systems that tell you when a site is bad only work for KNOWN bad sites and therefore lead to dangerous browsing practices. It doesn't take that long to counterfeit a website, so relying on systems that tell you when a site is KNOWN to be bad doesn't protect you from all the new UNKNOWN phishing sites popping up all the time. Use some logic and do the math. Realize that phishing site database systems, such as phishtank and google safe browsing, are fairly inadequate and should not be your primary protection from phishing.

I like the google search bar, but why cannot it be localised to what fits the user, regardless of where they are. Isn't that the point of having it? Not everyone wants to use .com.

For me it's relatively useless, unless I want a non-uk search. For UK, it is back to bookmarking so why have the bar? Can't we turn it off? Choice?

Do what I did. I made a simple form that javascript auto focuses onload and parses the first two characters to do different types of searches. I set it as my start page and it works better than any browser's search bar. If anyone would like the code, pm me and I'll zip it and put it on my site.

I actually made it because I hated switching between searches in the address bar of Firefox on my computer at my old job and I hated not having more than Google in Safari.

I actually host it on my site so that I can use it from anywhere and update it easily on all of my computers. I'd tell you where it is but I don't want to use that much bandwith when I need to serve my videos. It also has an iPhone version if you want to host it for yourselves.
 
1password uses phishtank so it is inadequate for primary protection from phishing sites as phishtank only protects you from known phishing sites and not new ones that are not yet in the database. See my post above.

Inquisitor disables the snapback feature in the the search bar. Ditch inquisitor and saft. Use GLIMS, it is free and does most of what those two do plus it doesn't disable snapback.
 
Hopefully this will shut eBay/PayPal up.

Seems just a rip off of Firefox which we all know has had phishing protection for years. Does it use PhishTank?
Click to expand...

Well, Firefox is just a ripoff of NCSA Mosaic, which has had image support for years. And NCSA Mosaic is just a rip-off of [insert whatever came before that] which had HTTP support for years.

This, at the same time as "well, Firefox has extension/gesture/whatever" support - why doesn't Safari do that?"

Right. Because Apple deliberately sabotaged Safari to make one specific (BETA!!!) website crash, just to get ya, to force you to use their product. Because that makes sense. And because it's clearly a technology conspiracy is the simplest explanation. It couldn't be a bug, plug-in incompatibility, site error, network issue, transient glitch, or user error.

I also couldn't get them to work.

Firefox blocked them.

Firefox 3 only blocked some of them, not all of them. However, the main list appears to be the newest not-verified phish sites, so that may well be normal until it's confirmed. I haven't installed Safari 3.2 yet.
 
safari 3.2 quits *every* time I try to open a new tab. I'm reinstalling the previous version.

Running leopard on a powerbook g4 1.67.

If you force 3.1.2 over the top, you'll just make it worse, and probably incapable of launching. Try a little maintenance - clear system and user caches, move your history/bookmarks first, before you start hacking up your system.
 
As others have already said inquisitor will fix the problem with not being able to change what search engine you use.

No. This is SSL Extended Validation. Go google it up.

Why the hell are people installing hackware then coming onto this forum to whine about their crashes. Dear god - they should do us all a favour - put their computer back into its box and sell it. They don't deserve to own a computer when they're that stupid.
