Re: flash playback speed
All I know is that I can go to homestarrunner.com now and watch the flash interaction without aging a year. Yay!

HELP! Still want old Safari...
I accidentally copied over my older version of Safari and wanted to know if anyone still had the original app or installer archived before they've upgraded to the newest beta.
If you do, PLEASE PM or email me...

Thanks!

Autocomplete is really annoying
Am I the only one who thinks there's a major problem with Autocomplete in the address bar? I visited www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ once with Safari, and from then on whenever I type www.apple.com and press enter..autocomplete fills the url in to be www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/. This is a really bad design issue...I mean...at the very least the autocomplete could fill in up to the top level of the domain and then fill in the sub directories if the user starts adding to the path. I like Safari overall, but the autocomplete feature is so annoying for regular use I'm just gonna stick with Chimera until someone fixes it. Okay, I'm done ranting...
...well...if you press delete after it fills in the url it goes ahead and deletes the autocompleted stuff...I suppose that's okay....I'm gonna stick with Safari now

Re: Autocomplete is really annoying
yes.. I posted about this earlier, but you make a good point about what it should do.. I don't mind if it auto-completes the URL, but if I delete the auto-completed portion of the URL, then it should stay that way....
Perhaps a bug report is in order

I've already sent two bug reports (one a while back and one today)...I'm just picky I guess..oh well.
My complaint with Safari is that it still crashes whenever I try to load a web banking page. Oddly enough, it works fine on my wife's iBook and on my parents' iMac. Obviously this is some kind of a conflict with something on my machine, but darned if I can figure out what it is!
Otherwise, I am of the opinion that Safari is an excellent browser. As soon as I can do web banking, I'll switch to it permanently.

Re: Safari Update v6C Available
supo-fasto leaven speed trails all over the web.
i only visited on flash site.....it always seems
slow but atleast its just as good as any other
mac browser when it comes to flash. atleast
now that apple has some control on optimizing
flash playback on their own platform we might
be seeing the light breaking through that dark
cloud. i guess the pc guys have always had
better flash playback. i bet apple will close that
gap with safari.

Re: Dock
Yeah, that happened to me the first time i updated Safari. It was 100% reproducable: take the old version (shortcut in the dock), rename it. Rename the new version to the same name as the old version. Put the new version in the dock. Click on the icon in the dock ... another icon pops up at the end of the Dock and the icon you clicked remains not-open.
Check the version on the app that the Dock is actually opening up ... I bet it's the old version, not the new one. Has to do with the Dock mixing file system handles (which stay constant as a file is moved around) and file path names (which ... well, don't). It's a bug in Jaguar.
Three ways to fix this: (1) trash (and empty) the old version (Dock can't open it if you've completely trashed it!); (2) restart Finder (Dock doesn't remember file system handles across a restart); (3) avoid the problem by changing the Safari app name to "Safari - 0.60" or somesuch, trash the old Dock icon, and re-drag your renamed app to the Dock.

Bandwidth
I remember hearing about Safari not being able to handle large bandwidth back in the original bouts of Chimera VS Safari speed debates, but I just now ran a quick test with the new Safari and a fairly recent Chimera build, and Chimera wins in pure bandwidth by about 150Kbps. This doesn't take rendering into account, of course, but Safari's still doing something that's preventing it from efficiently downloading files.

Yeah I just noticed they don't line up. I reopened the message boards in IE and everything looks fine and lines up right. I am not sure what Safari is doing to it...
You know I hate to say this...yes Explorer is slower, but why does it just work on everything all the time...whereas every other browser I have used, is hit or miss, or can do this and can't do that?
Maybe with time Safari will get there, I sure hope they do. They need to shoot for speed and also they should use IE as a benchmark for compatibility with all websites.
