Security Update 2007-007, Safari 3.0.3

Safari for Windoze is still NO good....

I'm been TRYING to stick with this beta Safari for Windoze on my work laptop but I still have to go back to IE. Why...

1. The BACKSPACE button still does not go back 1 page. This is very much needed.

2. AOL WebMail still does not work properly in Safari.

I've also noticed Safari being a memory hog. When it starts up it takes a few seconds to load and the fans on my laptop start. BTW - It works great on my PowerBook.
 
somethings wrong and i don't know how to fix it

i do not see any safari or security update in my updater and when i try the manual updates its says my volume doesnt meet the requirements, i've tried repairing permissions

any ideas?

Yeah, all the Safari bugs I read about, and there are people who still think that Apple is gonna release the whole OS for PCs... that seems like crazy talk to me.

What does this have to do with my problem? There are NO other web browsers that require something like this, and there seem to be no solutions, either. No one that I know of who has had this problem have found a solution.
 
i felt like i was using a mac when apple update popped up on my pc for this safari update. ;) i live in hope. i feel a little like a man trapped in a woman's body using safari and itunes and airport utility in windows :p

Apple needs to kick Adobes but to make them fix flash for Mac and get it optimized. its just stupid on how bloated and slow it is compared to the PC's version.

I second that :) I was visiting the W hotel's website and forgot to shut it off (i have a few browsers opened and two of them were Adobes flash websites). My SR MBP's fan was running crazy because safari was using like 20% of the processing power (gathered from istats pro).
 
Well I haven't seen an complaints about the security update, so I guess I'll be one of the few.

For some reason, the security patch killed spotlight on my Mac Pro. I've trashed the database and a whole lot more, but it won't work. It's indexed my drive 3 times and I still can't search for anything. Well, it's not the end of the world.
 
I didn't notice a major speed difference but when typing I don't get random beachballs though... There still is an issue of highlighting text in RSS though.
 
better, but not good enough

Safari 3.0.3 on Windows XP definitely seems more stable here, or feels that way anyway.

But still no "View all RSS feeds in folder" for bookmarked RSS feeds. Kinda the whole point of Safari on Windows for me, otherwise Firefox is just fine, thanks.

I know it's meant more so developers can test their iPhone voodoo, but as I don't have plans to get an iPhone nor am I a developer, I just want Safari for the best-in-class RSS feed behavior. Which they haven't kept in the Windows version. Shame.
 
When will Safari FINALLY support Gmail completely ?????

There's STILL no gchat and no support for the "text format toolbar".

Come on Apple, you claim to work so closely together with Google (iphone...), do something! :mad:


Also, since the two updates, Safari crashes on me quite often and iTunes crashed my computer 3 or 4 times yesterday!! That has not happened for months before the update. Maybe I should downgrade.. :(
 
I know this may sound odd, but since this update my macbook has been running super hot. over 160F with my fan speed cranked up to 6000rpm's. Usually i can get it down to 98-115 when i ramp up the fan that much..

Anyone notice this or am i nuts? hehe
