Apple Releases Safari Beta 3.0.2, Security Update 2007-006

i couldnt download anything in 3.0 or 3.0.1. safari would just hang and take up 2 cores of cpu load until i forced quit. i hoped this update would change this but it still has this problem fo rme. ive reverted back to 2.04 and its all good now. why is this happening?
 
I'll keep ad-free browsing.

Safari 3.... I just don't see the improvement. Keyboard shortcuts are messed up, and typing no longer automatically calls up the "Find" window, which was one of the most powerful things on the browser for me....

Those troubles continue even after uninstalling. I wish I had Safari 2 back entirely. But at least I no longer have ads. (Thanks, PithHelmet.)

The last version i installed, i couldn't close the windows by clicking the red 'x' button in the top left. the only way to close windows was to quit safari. i looked online and some other PB G4 user had the same problem.

Is this fixed yet for all those old PB users??

I use a PB 12" G4. Never had THAT problem, but beta software often has worse problems than that, so might as well not bother, in my opinion. ...onion
 
It didn't show up on my Mac Pro which was 10.4.10 already, but it showed up with the 10.4.10 update on my iBook G4 1.2GHz.

There was a surreal moment after reboot with the patch install and it booted up, started to show the finder and then went to a console screen and started scrolling Airport messages.

then the screen came back, but just the blue background pre-finder starting.

turned off/back on and it was fine.

But boy that was strange seeing the unixy-ness of it show up for a bit.

So you're using it now? I installed after the keynote and then had to uninstall as i couldn't close it. Seems they skimped on testing it with earlier machines. shame.

Not having that issue here on my Windows machine. Have you tried turning the font rending to light under the preferences? I'm finding it looks EXACTLY like Safari for OS X and that the reason you think it looks blurry is psychological, since it looks so different from Windows font smoothing.

It's not psychological tried adjustng font size etc. but no luck and yes tried light why is it if you don't have your imac yet but state something that a mac owner doesn't like you have to be nuts. Get old fast. Please don't hate me switching soon.
 
Correct

I actually think that you won't get both updates if you are running the beta...since the security update patches WebKit, maybe it's part of the Safari beta update? And those not running the beta will get the security update?

On my partition with Safari 3.0.1b 3.0.2b loaded, no additional security update. On my system with Safari 2, the Swcurity Update loaded.

Anyway to run both Safari 2 AND 3 on the same computer?

Anyway to run both Safari 2 AND 3 on the same computer? Obviously this is for a Mac (I'm running 10.4.10).

Doubt it, since they're using different versions of Web Core.

This may be true, but it's ridiculous because they could simply include new versions of frameworks directly in the application bundle. That way nothing else on the system, including the existing Safari 2, would be affected. That's exactly how the WebKit nightly builds do it, so why can't Safari 3 be that way? Doesn't make any sense to me. :confused:
 
Yah I think Apple didn't jump the gun on releasing Safari for windows. They jumped a battery of Howitzers. I have no problems having them release an open beta but for god sake don't put it on your fracking front page until its a late release candidate. What happened here is what happens when marketing has more say in what goes on with a product then common sense.

At any rate I don't really care since I didn't download it and I'm chugging along on Firefox without any major issues. I'm looking forward to Firefox 3 though.
 
Anyone notice that instead of using up 200-400mb of ram, Safari only uses about 75 now? I would say that this is a vast improvement.
 
XP Rendering

Is it just me that hates the rendering on XP - its sort of fuzzy and bold and dark.

And pretty buggy too - almost unusable.
 
Unfortunately, neither Windows Vista (English version with Chinese locale) nor Windows XP (Chinese Version) can input Chinese in 3.0.2. I'll try report that bug..

Yes. Make a duplicate of Safari 2 and rename it before installing Safari 3. I have both on my computer, and I'm browsing Amazon looking for books in Safari 2 while I'm here in Safari 3. No problems whatsoever.

I tried that and got some kind of error. I'll try it again with the new beta. Maybe something has changed.

I don't think that really does anything, since (from my understanding) it's not only the Safari app that is being updated, but WebKit also.

It doesn't work. I just tried it again and it crashes Safari 2.

I don't know what's going on for you, but it does work for me. S2 runs fine, and I can even have both S2 and S3 running at the same time. Here:

10.4.10

IT FIXED MY DVD PLAYER!!!!

I'm running a G4 iMac 17" and it the DVD player had been broken. It works now!!! OMG so excited sicne i have now moved my cmputer to be next to my bed. I can now watch movies late at night!
 
Can anyone tell me if Safari 3 picks up phishing sites like it used to, back in the alpha days of Leopard? I haven't heard anything about this feature recently and I can't get Safari 3 running on my new MBP (No suitable HD - though over 120Gb free...)
 
Safari 3 seems to be more 64-bitish

I just watched the Virtual Memory footprint of Safari 3.0.1 on 10.4.9 grow from 3.96 GB to "76 MB". Every indication is that it grew beyond 4 GB and Activity Monitor couldn't understand that. It's the first application I've seen grow to 4 GB or better on my Mac.

I've since quit that invocation but next time I get up there I'll look at with something other than Activity Monitor.

I trust you all will let me know if this is news or just something I've not seen under my rock before.
