I wonder if there are significant differences with the Yosemite/Mavericks/Mountain Lion versions.

Safari for Mountain Lion has extra armour.
Safari for Mavericks is water-proof, down to 50m.
Safari for Yosemite can be used in high altitudes, up to 500m above ocean level.
 
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.

Honestly, with those conditions I would start suspecting a third party software problem. If you're having the issue with different hardware, accounts and users I would start by looking at any common software packages between the machines. Or maybe the router and/or printer if they are all on the same network and use the same printer.

I would get a list of common software, and start at the top. Remove a package from a machine and see if the problem goes away. If not, remove another, etc.
 
Now maybe it demands more than 4GB of memory, which Mavericks happily operated in? Who knows, but something needs to be done.
Snow Leopard needed 8 GB to operate happily for me. And when I ran Lion briefly with 4 GB, I went back to store the same day to get more RAM.
 
Behold the company where No One Cares (TM)

Obviously if you work inside Apple, you would see this crap and alert someone--If 10K people work at Apple HQ (guess), then a lot of them would notice that Yosemite and Mavericks is crap. Maps. iOS 8. Etc.

Why does no one say anything? Why can't the Emperor see his is naked?

A friend who lives there says no one is proud to work at Apple anymore. No motivation. No pride.

It's very obvious.

Just another HW/SW company.
 
Meh - ditched safari a few weeks ago. Back on Chrome. Seems all this giving software away for free is a nice excuse to cut corners and rush software to market. I'm looking at you, Yosemite.
 
I updated, and it legitimately, seriously, really feels snappier. Look at Apples safari site: https://www.apple.com/safari/

"Browsing with Safari is blazing fast thanks to advanced JavaScript engine optimizations that make websites and web applications feel snappier."

HAH! They know us!
lol

Google is crap. Google maps, android, etc. A friend who works there says everyone hates the company and can't wait to find another job.
Just another SW and pretend HW company.

Oops, I guess I replied to a troll. My bad.

This reads like your `friend' hates their job and has no social skills to advance themselves. I know a lot of alumni at Apple and they love their job.
 
Was about to download it when I plugged my iPhone in and Bluetooth keyboard & mouse went out.

Yosemite is still an epic fail.
Can't solve Bluetooth/WIFI
Can't solve correct start up screen.

Don't seem to even care about it either.

Oh and reporting either issue knocks out my router. Can't win here.
They did fix one problem though. They stopped the iPhone message of unsupported cable for their OWN iPhone cable! However it still forces a Mac reboot on occasion, so what's the point?

Stick with Mavericks and you'll be just fine.
I'm personally tired of having to reboot to reset the internet and bluetooth.

Yosemite overall is slower for me... especially when Safari is playing some video or Flash. The CPU is hogged. I'm not happy with this experience at all.

Safari is dogged on some Flash based websites, almost so skippy as to be unplayable. Overall Safari is faster than Firefox on most websites, but almost unusable on the FLASH sites I use for live sports streaming and I don't think 94mpbs and a Mac Pro should be that shabby.

It's as if Steve Jobs is haunting my Mac from the grave screaming.
"MUST KILL FLASH. MUST KILL FLASH NOW!"
 
It's at least not worse on my MBA i5 4gb with Yosemite. If not for the fact that the previous one broke people, I might just stop feeling as if there's a bogeyman taunting me with each of these.

Only issue is that it didn't update automatically, while all necessary checkboxes in App Store settings were placed on automatic. I stared at it for fifteen minutes til I gave in and manually pressed the button :p
 
Safari was noticeably quicker for me when I originally installed 10.10 a few months back. With a mid '12 build running 10.9.5 at the time I was pleasantly surprised. I have had half a dozen or more sudden crashes using safari since that time as well. Fun times!
 
These problems are getting old

Wasn't having any problems with 8.0.1. Just installed 8.0.2 update and now I cannot even log into my Comcast account from any of my Apple devices. If I use the LTE network on my phone I have no problem. Cannot open Safari on any of my devices. I have an iMac, iPad air, and iPhone. I had zero problems this morning before I went to work but the minute I installed this update this evening I've had nothing but problems. Very frustrating to say the least.

Much better.

Safari has been #%$& awful since upgrading to Yosemite. Freeze-ups, crashes, unbearably slow-loading... it's been a massive pain. I've been avoiding it lately and launching Chrome instead.

Still not perfect and still not faster than it was before, but it's nice to have it back in the ballpark.
 
Excellent. I was actually not aware that was an 8.0.1 issue and was afraid my graphics card was freaking out..

I was just pissed. Because it started right after the upgrade Mavericks->Yosemite. So it had to be that, but I could find a solution, nor did I find much other people with the same problem. ( MBP 13" early 2011 here).
 
I've installed 8.0.1 the night it was released, but now when I want to update via Mac App Store, it downloads it but nothing gets installed and I again have the 8.0.1 one. And also the pkg file shows this to me :confused::confused::confused:

Just installed it on a 2010 iMac 27" - Model 11,3 and it's WAAAAAY faster. If not faster than Chrome 64 it's at least as fast. Progress at last!!
 
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.....

Been seeing this (web page loads just stall out randomly) since Safari 6.x, I was hoping 8.x would fix it. I have a Snow Leopard partition with Safari 5.x that doesn't exhibit the behavior.

Often if Safari stalls out loading a page, I'll open FireFox, load the same page and after it immediately loads in FireFox then Safari will wake up and finish loading.

^ My experience exactly.

I gladly installed the latest upgrade only to be disappointed again. At least webpages don't randomly lock up like they used to; they e v e n t u a l l y load, although with occasional inexplicable delays.

Oh well, back to Chrome. Again.
