can anybody confirm if it fixes the webpage notifications issue. I gave up going into safari preferences and denying and re-allowing websites to send me notifications of updates. Every single time i restart my computer or put it to sleep i have to reset them.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases Safari 8.0.2 for OS X Yosemite to Replace Previously Pulled Safari 8.0.1

Before you go passing your judgement, you need to experience some real-world performance in real-world situations. Yes, Safari as a browser got faster at rending pages, but overall Yosemite feels very sluggish compared to Mavericks (on my 2013 MacBook Air). Exact same applications, example same workflow... and I was far happier with Mavericks. On my system, Safari is a contributing factor to that noticeable slow-down. No amount of restarts, permission fixes, parameter RAM resets has offered any relief. Yosemite is just slower. Now maybe it demands more than 4GB of memory, which Mavericks happily operated in? Who knows, but something needs to be done.
It solves the hugely annoying bug that renders large jpegs (maps) into unusable distorted mosaics.
That makes two of us who are rare. And I'm rare on three different Macs.
----------
They already did. They released it to developers, who only use it for testing, instead of on production equipment....
Except for the Wifi bug I didn't have any other major bugs running 10.10, I do have 8 GB RAM though, and a fast SSD.
And, I probably have 100 processes running on my Mac, if not more.
Edit: Just counted them, 225 processes to be exact.
I can understand that for you this may be true, and for everyone out there that has not experienced major Yosemite issues, I'm glad that you don't have the same problems. But in reality that doesn't invalidate the many people who are experiencing slowness and other issues.
I have 5 machines that I have consistently seen issues on. 2 of those machines were wiped clean and had Yosemite installed fresh. All have had permissions repaired, etc... yet exhibit similar slowness and bugs.
If I only had one or two machines experiencing the same issues then I could say that it was an oddity or the machine(s) had problems. Or even if if all 5 machines were setup the same, same model, same software, etc... then I could say it had something to do with a particular setup or hardware. But the reality is, these are 5 different machines, different hardware specs, different software combinations, all with different uses so I would guess the issue is a broader issue at hand.

I've been using almost exclusively since the official release. It's the only browser intalled in my computer. I don't know if some of you experienced this sometimes the websites just quit loading. I then go to speedtest website to check if my connection is slow or not. But still I cannot complete the task because it quits load completely and it takes forever to ping. I then I grab my iPhone to do the speedtest on the app. Everything is fast it's almost the perfect as the promised speed I paid for. Then I quit Safari on OS X reload the page everything goes back to normal snappy. I got the 2012 27" iMac 16GB RAM I don't think my computer is the problem. It happened to me a couple of times. Specially when I'm watching Small Empires video on the Verge. I hope this update fixes the problem. I'm About to go back to Firefox but I'm trying to be patient and waiting for the update.

Did they fix the memory leak that causes mail.yahoo.com to gobble GBs of memory unless you close the tab regularly?
Hmm, hope this slowness you experience will get fixed, I am on 10.10.2, it's fast.
I do have 8 Gb RAM and a fast SSD though, this could make a difference.
The SSD is also TRIM enabled and I have at least 15 GB free space,
Well these are based on your personal experience. I installed OS X Yosemite on many Macs. Ran some clean installs and restore from time machine then immediately after, I started fixing disk permissions and using the CleanMyMac app to weed out any installation problems that have. Most of these have 2-4 GB of memory and were made between 2008 and 2010. I seen one or two bugs on certain models but they were all different and resolved later on. Your know for a fact that just because your mac has issues, doesn't mean that everyone has the same problem. That's not how software works. True there are some bugs that do affect a major majority of users.
People say that Snow Leopard was the most stable version of OS X but I do remember a lot of glitches on a particular Macbook that no other of that same model in my workplace had.
If I was to say that my iPad 2 screen was tint red after installing iOS 8.1.1, you would think I completely lost it.
Hope this ______ bug gets fixed for you soon.
Are your domain name paths and hostname references via localhost correctly listed, under Apache2.4 and hosts file?
If so, each .dev reference should be associated to a localhost 127.0.1.x address that tells Apache2 to resolve it in the browser.
The only time I run into web search of a domain is if there is no trailing period to any .<name> I so choose.
For example:
127.0.1.2 joeschmoe
127.0.1.3 joeschmoe.me
In the browser:
joeschmoe won't resolve but joeschmoe.me will resolve locally, without the need of http:// before either joeschmoe or joeschmoe.me.
Excellent. I was actually not aware that was an 8.0.1 issue and was afraid my graphics card was freaking out..
Bold: Get rid of that crap, OS X does not need to be cleaned, and if you really get problems use a far better FREE App like Onyx
Click on the Apple in the Menu Bar, then Appstore, next update.
You can also set it to automatically check and install in System Preferences/Appstore
!
I'm not even seeing 6.2.2 either on Apple's site or in Software Update from my Mountain Lion machine. Of note, I also don't see 7.1.2 for Mavericks or 8.0.2 on the site. I do see the release notes and security info page.
What device is giving you that? It's been fine on my iPad3,2 (third generation with Verizon) so far and I am running 8.2 beta 2 on said iPad3,2.
Honestly, having used Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite all on the same two machines (Top of the Line Mid 2011 13" MacBook Air and a bottom of the line Mid 2010 17" MacBook Pro), they all operate with more or less the same degree of speed and responsiveness. What IS different are little areas where one version is more annoying than the other. I've found Mountain Lion to be the smoothest experience in terms of lack of glitches and odd changes that don't make much sense. Mavericks sorta crapped on a lot of that for no reason. Yosemite seems to correct a bit of that, but I'm, on the whole, and from a purely functional (and not cosmetic) standpoint, not happy with some of the directions that OS X has taken since Mountain Lion.

Launch the "App Store" application (probably in your dock), then click the "Updates" icon on the top right of the screen.
Did you see my post with the direct links?

You could use them to get them without having to use the mac app store.
10.10 was a bit rough, but actually no worse than 10.9.5. In fact. I had wifi issues ALL of 10.9.x and 10.10 FINALLY fixed them. Same BS they kept saying was fixed all of 10.9.x where wifi would drop repeatedly ONLY on the machine running 10.9.5. It'd just disconnect from network, no error or nothing. Always had to go to drop down menu and choose network again. It just wouldn't keep a session at all. 10.10 on that mac completely solved it finally. ironically others reported wifi issues only on 10.10. i was worried the 10.10.1 update that fixed those would break mine again but fortunately it didn't.
As for snappiness. 10.10, like 10.9, grew in bloat and as a result grew in footprint. it's still as snappy as 10.9 on hardware that supports it with plenty of ram. Plenty of ram I mean at least 16 gigs, because lets face it, even 8 isn't enough anymore. My older mac pro with 10GB was seeing pageouts and compressed memory.
My biggest advice with compressed memory though, disable it. it's awful. It activates too early, even on my main system with 32 gigs of ram, if compressed memory is not disabled it may kick in and cause stutter in games and performance drops as it compresses application memory, all while holding a 24 gig file cache it doesn't even need in off chance you open those files again. Yes, the compressor compresses app memory before releasing FREE memory from file cache. disabling compressor makes it not as stupid and actually free some file cache instead. THe OSes order seems to be
use free memory> Compress > free file cache > VM Page
back on topic. Thanks for the direct download link for 8.0.2. That's what I came here for. the fact apple doesn't do this anymore is obnoxious. I have multiple machines to deploy update to. It makes no sense to update through apps store several times. What on earth apple is thinking with no longer releasing stand alones is beyond me.

Still waiting for them to fix the issue where Safari locks up after trying to use the two-finger back gesture in Mavericks. It slides about a cm from the left and gets stuck and the Back/Forward buttons don't work. Restarting it only works until the next time you try to go back and the only solution I've found thus far is to reboot which fixes it for a few days/weeks until it happens again.
