Safari Unstable

[apple]

Browsing with Safari is pretty snappy, but that is probably the tradeoff for a further quite unstable browser.

My typical browser usage consists of opening lots and lots of tabs and then also closing lots and lots of tabs but never all of them. I always have 5-10 tabs open which I need to pay attention to at a certain point in time (but not now). My brower ToDo-list.

Every once in a while Safari will crash completely and take my entire todo-list with it. This combined with no feature to restore crashed sessions makes it unusable for serious browsing.

So from now on, for fast browsing Safari, for anything serious Firefox with the SessionSaver extension.

Re: Safari Unstable

hopefully this will be fixed in the soon-to-be-released 10.4.3 update.

(maybe today along with the new pbooks & pmacs)

Re: Safari Unstable

I hope it is because the current state of stability is a joke. Any idea of session saving in Safari, because that would just fix all my problems.

I did see a cool canvas demo the other day (Erik Arvidsson was complaining that canvases in Opera 9.0 are too slow (via)). I had not realized yet that Safari's canvas support is killer. These were the guys that invented it, right?

Re: Safari Unstable

Canvas was designed by Apple for dashboard widgets, actually.

Safari is the browser with the best canvas support.
