New Safari Seeds Continue Performance Improvements, Bug Fixes

According to sources Apple has released a Safari seed to developers that promises a "significant" amount of bug and performance fixes regarding the following areas:

- large plaintext pastes
- photo uploading to auction websites
- Handling of "unsafe" Javascript
- Writing direction shortcuts

The seed build numbers are 9B4021 for Leopard, 8S4021 for Tiger, and 31A15 for Windows.

Evidence has recently been surfacing that Apple is planning to bring a host of performance improvements to Safari. An earlier Safari beta appears to have incorporated recent rendering improvements to WebKit.

I am a Safari fan and take some heat for it sometimes. I was under the impression that it was very secure but now these anti-fishing things that are being reported are a little troubling. You going to take care of that stuff too Apple??? :rolleyes:

whats with hate towards safari?

Safari starts up WAY WAY faster then firefox, and safari loads pages just as fast, or in some cass faster then firefox.

In features department all firefox has over safari is plugins and skins. But i can live without those, so why all the hate against safari? i use it every day.

That doesn't mean it isn't laced with bugs that need fixing.
