People still use Safari?
Yup. It's my default browser and does all I need it to do. :)
It requires a restart! Bummer. There goes 47 days and 11 hours of uptime on my iMac! Maybe I'll wait for a while longer since I don't have any of the issues in this fix.
First world problems...

Lol why do you care, are you trying to beat a record or something?

I can hold my breath longer that my Air takes to reboot :P Thank you, SSD!
You are kidding right? Apple abandoned PPC 5 years ago...
And everyone using a PowerBook could afford to buy a newer Mac, right?

Yeah, lot's of us prefer it to the other offerings. Works great for me.
In other news, it'd be nice if the "Address issues that could cause hangs and excessive memory usage" reduces the memory footprint significantly. It has skyrocketed in version 5.
I remember people used to watch their uptime and try to set new records back when 47 days was an incredible achievement. I think it mostly went away shortly after Windows XP arrived (let alone OS X 10.3-ish).
Uh, what? Mac OS 6.0.8 would run for months without hiccup. In the 80s. Maybe Windows people found XP an improvement.[ Read All Comments ]
