I have really liked Safari, but I am so tired of it spontaneously quitting, I'm about to make a permanent jump to FireFox.
Safari 3.0.4
OS X 10.5.2

Check out Firefox version 3 beta 3. Pretty nice.

why/when does it crash?
have you tried resetting it? (backup your bookmarks first..)
emptying the cache?
deleting prefs?
have u tried a 'test' user account?
does it crash there?
there are things to try if u like safari, before u give it up.
firefox is fine, i use camino sometimes as well.
but most things are fixable..

Since upgrading to Leopard (clean install), I have noticed that safari is less stable. It doesn't crash a lot, but it has a number of times for me. While I have upgraded to 10.5.2 I've not been able to really use my Mac because of my work schedule lately so I don't know if 10.5.2 made it more or less stable.

I would have troubleshot it more except for the fact that it crashes on all my systems and I hear the same from a lot of other users around here.
I'm also waiting a new system so I don't plan on spending a lot of time tweaking this one (it'll be getting formatted soon enough).
Many times it is loading a page when it crashes, but not always. I'll be just reading MacNN for instance. Not clicking a link or anything and it up and quits with the option to send a crash report, ignore and reload.
The last report said something about flash. I need to pay closer attention to what the report says and see if I can find a pattern. It could easily be a non-standard third party thing in the advertisements.

Remove any hacks you've installed and see if that helps. And post a crash log for us to see.

Just for comparison, I haven't had any Safari crashes in Leopard. Not one. So it seems like the problem must be with some specifics of your system. (It might still be a bug in Safari, but it could be a misbehaving input manager or bad memory or any number of things.)

safari is stable here as well, on my intel and G4 macs (10.5.2)...
in fact, it USED to crash every time i closed yahoo mail, but no longer does that

Okay, Safari crashed once on me today. First and only time in Leopard so far.
