OmniWeb has a great one, letting you accept cookies from a site for the duration of the session, which is perfect for using a site that depends on them without leaving their tracking information on your system. I'd love to see that in Safari.
That's a brilliant idea.
mmmmmmmm, cookies!!!!

Well, I just tried on my Powerbook running 2.0 and had the exact problem that was described.
I have had this problem as well. Sometimes Safari works great for days and then sometimes it will just close itself 2 or 3 times in under an hour.hob said:
Server Resets
Has anyone had problems with server resets in Safari 2.0? Since upgrading to 2.0, usaa.com often resets the connection to the server. I never had a problem with any previous version of Safari. Other secure banking / financial sites work fine for me. Any thoughts?

Running Safari 2.0 (412.2), I will admit that some of the pages can be fussy, a simply refresh sorts them out, and I must say what do you expect from a page that fails to validate with 272 errors
does blogger.com function fully in safari 2.0? because i know it doesnt in 1.x and that is the reason i still have a copy of FireFox on my computer.
Sped, I had experienced all kinds of problems when viewing usaa.com before this latest update (including the server resets you mentioned), however all is fine now I can browse my account without any problems. Before I would have to open up Firefox just to check my account, but this latest version of Safari seems to be working great for me.

I have the same problem, i just deal with it. The link you provided wouldnt load for me the first time either, I had to reload.

To be fair, I can't get that site to work on any browser on my PowerBook (Safari, Firefox, and Netscape).

My sons have been using Safari under Tiger 10.4(.0) that came on their iMac G5 without any problem. It seems stable. What is making it unuseable for you?
the only one i've ever had a problem with is Groove Tickets I'm not sure if this is because of safari or not but if someone can explain it to me...jesuscandle said:
Safari-proof Sites
Here are some sites that work wonky with Safari (V2.0 412.2):
SCE.com (Southern California Edision) bill pay crashes Safari when the link is clicked
Ford Family Plan page <http://www.fordvehicles.com/?bannerid=FV80002> then click the Find your family plan price button. THe pull-down "Choose your vehicle" doesn't work in Safari, works in Firefox
Edmunds.com- Like most everyone else, it takes two tries to load a page
A few others I can't remember off hand. Checked these on multiple machines, all hand the same problems. Running 10.4.2 on all
Safari still loads fast and works with most sites. I've learned to keep Firefox handy for these sites and any others that are difficult.

Also tvguide.com, which makes the first column too skinny so pictures and text overlay other text. They even redesigned their look and feel once without dealing with the site problems for Safari users. I complained a very long time ago, and they've never fixed it. Rather than switch browsers, I switched websites. Take heed, tvguide, my wallet and I still won't be seeing your website ads.mowogg said:

What's wrong with Blogger in the latest released version of 1.3? I never have had problems with Blogger since I started using them in June of last year.

My question is, when are we going to start blaming people who make poor sites, instead the way correct browsers interpret them. A lot of sites use bad proprietary code that doesn't work across all browsers, and isn't based or coded around the published standards. In most cases Firefox, Safari, etc. try to make as many sites show up correctly as they can, but realistically some sites are just created poorly.
If things are to change around we need to start emailing sites that don't work correctly in standards compliant browsers, and tell them that it's time to make sites that work for all users.
I don't think browsers should be blamed for sites not displaying correctly, especially a browser like safari which has amazing support for web standards.
However, I think that UI bugs, render bugs (such as the scrolling background bug), and crashing of course should be fixed, and I am glad to see that safari is continuously updated to work better for its users.

What's needed is for a well-known organization to publish the list of the biggest-name companies or organizations that have badly designed pages, to publicly shame them. Sort of like Blackwell's list of the worst-dressed celebrities. It would become a news story, e.g., "TVGuide.com joins CNET's List of Badly Designed Sites" and embarrass them into action.MrSugar said:
more CSS support perhaps?
If theres anything that should be improved in Safari it's the css support, theres plenty of properties that arn't supported yet, I mean they were one of the first to add a text-shadow property (I think). Even if it does it amazingly already why not improve upon it?
Check this out: http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/safari_css.html
btw.. If a site dosn't render in a browser it's just as much the webmasters loss as the browsers & I would love safari to support aural css, to match the 'new' voiceover parts of os x.

Sarafi/OmniWeb Combo
I use Safari for all of my internet needs except for online banking. Safari still is very quirky and unuseable with my banks. I use OmniWeb for all banking transactions.
There are also a few non-bank sites I cannot view properly with Safari....
