What the heck is going on with Safari?
Very clean install of 10.2.8, deleted the plist file for Safari, ran Cocktail utilities, restarted, all software up to date, computer never sleeps.
I read somewhere that Safari has a Cache problem, and a solution is to manually empty the cache periodically.
Frequently:
I select Empty Cache and Safari crashes.
It just sits there and fails to load numerous pages (during an auto-tab load).
It crashes when I click on a tab, or I get the spinning beach ball and have to Force Quit.
It crashes when I attempt to close one of its windows.
I don't know what is going on, but Safari has never been this buggy for me.
Anybody have similar experience with Safari?
And yes, I have sent many bug reports to Apple on this.

I have also been sending bug reports to Apple , and I have been expecting an update for a long time, and definetely they should if they want to beat other web browsers.
I got to the point that I still prefer Netscape, find it more stable and faster.

Since 10.2.8 I noticed that Safari hogs my CPU, wildly. 70-80% at time.

I noticed something like this recently - crashing a lot when opening multiple tabs - My Crash Reports always mentioned:
#0 0x7ebfad68 in QTime::elapsed()
I reset Safari and removed PithHelmet - it now seems stable again.

I get the beachball (must force quit) often when having tabs loading. Ditching the cache and prefs hasn't helped. I don't want to turn off pith helmet b/c without that, Safari is worthless for me. So for now I endure the hangs (which strangely only cropped up a couple weeks ago, and were occuring in 10.2.6).

Perhaps 10.2.8 was meant as an impetus to upgrade to Panther.

I think 10.2.8 is the problem- though Safari is no stable browser- the OS seems to be more buggy than the app...

I am using Safari 85.5 and it takes a while to open either
history or the bookmarks pull-downs from the menu bar.
If I use the 'clear history' command Safari will unexpectedly quit.
Question : Is there a way to disable web site icons in the
history menubar to speed browsing the history list up a bit ?
