GM users, how is Safari?

[Innise]

It's been kind of broken in the DPs for me. Couldn't create new tabs, crashing constantly, etc.

Safari is fine for me and has been on most of the DPs.

The only issue I had was when i installed the GM over DP8, Safari was crashing. A restart sorted that out and it's been fine since.

Safari feels great. The first thing I noticed was how quicker it loads up now. Before, it would just bounce in the dock for at least 5 seconds, and now it loads up instantly. I love that. Second, everything feels more smooth, especially the animations.

I haven't really noticed any speed increases or decreases but I really don't pay much attention to that when the changes can be so miniscule. Overall, I'm pleased and will definitely continue to use Safari over Chrome or Firefox.

 

[z06gal]

Great now that I removed glims. Much faster than in ML in my opinion

 

[munakib]

Definitely snappier, faster than chrome and I am really impressed. Now I just have to make myself consciously select the safari icon over chrome!

 

[myxomatosis]

It's all good for me (rMBP). Very snappy, scrolling is very smooth

The only way I got perfectly smooth scrolling under Mountain Lion: The webkit nighties

With Safari 7, it's perfectly smooth. I'm very satisfied with Mavericks in general so far

 

[Michael Goff]

It's awesome, that's all I can say.

 

[Apple_Robert]

On my MBP 2011, it is faster and page rendering appears to be much smoother. Thus far, I am pleased with the performance increase over Mountain Lion.

 

[iLog.Genius]

It really is faster and not just "snappy". It seems Apple is doing some background processes that is speeding it up with the com.apple.webkit process where the process launches twice and for a brief moment will cause CPU usage to spike and load the page. I don't know much about this but the behaviour is definitely not the same as it was in ML.

 

[Innise]

I guess I have some weird problems that no one else has. Got the GM now and there's still the problems I mentioned in the OP.

No idea what to do now.

That's the thing with GM's and installing before Apple actually releases it officially - you can't really get any sort of support, you'll have to troubleshoot yourself and wait until Mavericks actually launches.

What you could do is do a clean install and see what if it still happens or repair permissions.

 

[pshifrin]

It really is faster (not sarcastically snappier). rmbp 2.6/16/512. upgraded from 10.8.5.

 

[Synaesthesia242]

The scrolling in Safari is noticeably more responsive and smooth. It's finally as smooth and responsive as iOS devices, whereas before it stuttered on occasion.

 

[TwoBytes]

Great now that I removed glims. Much faster than in ML in my opinion

if only safari could hold more tabs and have favicon support natively, i wouldn't have to use glims. I agree with the glims slowdown though

 

[MeUnix]

Safari is working great in the GM Mavericks. The scrolling is fast and seamlessly smooth, and it's quick to respond.

 

[wrldwzrd89]

Safari in Mavericks GM has been VERY stable for me. No crashing or other wacky behavior.

 

[ZeRoLiMiT]

I've been a Chrome user but Sarafi has been a lot faster!!!

 

[RichardC300]

I don't like the excessive tab sliding/widening animations when closing tabs.

Other than that, I don't notice much of a performance improvement over ML.

 

[madmacfan]

All good here. Haven't had any issues as yet, touch wood! It seems slightly more responsive than ML.

 

[Arizor]

I'm having very similar problems to the OP, here's the crash log in case any tech wizards can provide insight
