Safari 4 and Flash!

FF + adblock.

Though with osx 10.6 there are occasional crashes on both safari /FF

 

yes. Click2Flash is perfect for this. It also forces Youtube to show you the h264 versions of videos instead of the crappier low-res versions.

 

Try reinstalling Flash. So far, only the inferior Firefox has crashed (Flash or no Flash). Safari hangs for a few seconds (due to the new plug in kill feature) but that's it.


Safari > Firefox.

please dont start this. keep your fanboyism in check.

 

I had the same problem after downloading 10.6.1. To solve:

I went to the flash website, downloaded the latest version, closed Safari, restarted my mac, and then re-opened Safari. Flash worked fine again.

See if that will work for you.

Incredibly annoying that Apple pushes out an update that causes this problem, with no explanation of how to fix it.

 

For reference, the ClickToFlash that has been mentioned several times. Works great to prevent the SL flash problems when they're being caused by ads or unnecessary Flash objects.

This is my favorite plug-in for Safari

 

So when Macrumors posted the article saying that Snow Leopard downgraded our flash version I went to the Adobe site and installed the latest version. No problems. Then I installed 10.6.1 and shortly after I began having serious issues with all browsers (Firefox, Safari, etc). I would open the browser up, go to pretty much any site, and the browser would hang and I'd have to force quit. It happened over and over and over.

Anyway, I followed your instructions and reinstalled Adobe flash and I haven't had any issues since.

Thanks
