Does Safari make your soldier salute? Does Camino put the starch in
your shorts, or do you prefer the petit piquancy of OmniWeb's studded rubber
nubs?
Or do you saving a (very) personal space on your Dock for the Mac version
of Opera? Hmmmmmmm?

ddt… i THINK this is the method i use. i can't say for certain, but it sounds like it.
el jeffe … the #1 by far amazing super-all out feature of chrome is that you can search in the same field that you can type in a location in… perfect.

omighod, I just discovered that Camino uses the mouse scroll wheel to scroll tabs sideways! That's awesome sauce (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIpHrwwbrsQ)!

Safari 5.1 (SL) sucks.
Anyone else experiencing the drain/slowness of this?
RAM hog. Leaky?
Google for all the various discussions/solutions.
But I was just curious if any of yous-alls are seeing crappy performance, RAM usage?

Yes. 5.1 on 10.6 is a nightmarishly bad release for me. Leaks memory like a sieve, randomly hangs and reloads pages, replaces successfully loaded pages with blank white ones. Wish I'd never updated, shocked there hasn't been a bug-fix release of any kind yet.

When I open up multiple tabs, they all stay BLANK until I navigate to them. What good is that?
Sigh. Many issues.

I've noticed the blank tab thing on Lion, too.

Ok, then this has got to be the worst Safari ever/yet in my book.
Sad.

Glad I have kept Safari at 5.0.5
Safari has been terrible for a long time though. Slows the entire system to a crawl...

I prefer the UI in Safari to most other browsers but its performance has driven me to Chrome.

I stick with Safari for the bookmark syncing, but Chrome is rapidly moving up my preference list. I use Chrome on Windows at work because Safari refuses to learn the proxy server password their, and I get tired of typing it three or four times every time I launch it.

Webkit lives, but Chrome is the best implementation for me right now. Firefox is the backup.

It's in reference to pundits bitching about the length of time it takes Apple to implement something they see as obvious, or necessary, for the success of an Apple product.
i.e., pundits who declared that the iPhone was doomed because it didn't ship with any API other than web-based ones, and when that API did ship, not too long later, it was "Finally" added.

Royally pissed off that Safari 5.1 breaks click-to-flash. About to try this instead:
http://hoyois.github.com/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/
I'd forgotten how annoying a jungle of noisy flash videos can be, especially when they autoplay on numerous tabs in the background at the same time and you have to play whack-a-mole... (no wonder browsers crash)
I can't believe Samsung is advertising their tablet as being able to play "millions of flash websites" as a "feature"? I mean, aside from a few dubious pornsite portals, what use is the rotten thing?
Should be classed as malware IMHO...

There are two similar things. I can't keep them straight. It or one still works for me.

Safari 5.1.2 is an abomination. I've given it a couple of weeks but its just awful - memory leaks, reloads white pages, spinning beachballs. Pile of steaming excrement.
I think I'm going to have to use Firefox or Camino.

If I can make a suggestion; try Firefox. Its release train is now running as fast as Chrome's and it's becoming better with every iteration (every 6 weeks). Firefox is very stable for me these days.
