Malibu, CA | How unstable is Safari for you?
I work in an office that has five Macs that vary from an eMac to iBooks and Powerbooks. We are all running Panther and Safari quits or crashes for all of us several times a day.
Anybody else going through the same trouble with Safari? |

I can't recall ever having a problem with Safari. It's by far my favorite browser, although I use Firefox on the PC probably just as much, as I have WinXP at work, and also on a PC at home that I use. It has always been more stable for me than Firefox (2nd best), Opera, and IE. Of course, my first experience with OSX wasn't until 10.2.8. |

Long Beach, CA | It crashes on me at least once a day--and then it also does the gibberish type thing about as often. Does it on two different machines, both are running Panther. I still like it better than any other browser, in spite of that. |

Safari is rock solid for me.
I recently switched to firefox, but I missed Safari, so I switched back.
I love it.

I had an issue where Safari would crash several times a day. This was due to Certificates in keychain being corrupted. I removed them and reimport them one by one from IE in Windows. Safari stopped crashing from then on.
Check that your certs are not corrupted and that that you have the right certs from the sites that require them for secured transactions. If not you'll need to download these from the site in question and import them into keychain. |

Safari is very stable for us on our 4 Macs. It will crash on my Powerbook once a month maybe. |

Safari never crashes for me but at least once a week I need to restart it. I have about 10 to 15 tabs open at once and it just slows down to being unusable. Beach balls anytime I hover over a link or switch tabs and it beach balls. I restart it and all is good for another 5 days or so. Quitting Safari at this point will take a good 5 or 10 minutes before it actually quits and I am able to start it again. |

Maybe that's the issue. Safari has well known memory leaks--it just keeps getting bigger and bigger--and perhaps the crashers aren't restarting it very often. No excuse, it needs to be fixed.

Hartford, CT | Yes it definitely does. Once I actually close Safari and open it again I get back about 100 to 200 mb of mem that is not wired iirc. |

I like Safari better than Firefox, but Safari won't display the formatting quicklinks in Wordpress (blog CMS) so I have to use both. I find Safari to be faster.
