Oh, but in all honesty I should add the following disclaimer:

This latest security hole in Safari really isn't an issue since the number of users affected is rapidly diminishing as people drop Safari, even in preference for Chrome, Firefox, or IE.

Perhaps Apple is just relying upon a dying user base to make the impetus to solve this problem moot?

I tend to doubt it.

Chrome is a nice browser if you have great gobs of core to devote to it. It is, by far, the worst memory pig I’ve ever seen out of all the browsers on the Mac (Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome).

Google spent a great deal of effort optimizing JavaScript in Chrome, which is limited use from my perspective, but which is essential from Google’s “cloud computing” perspective. The one upside of Chrome is that they pay for security exploit reports, so they get a bunch of hungry developers actively trying to break it for the bucks.

Again you distort facts and lie. The use of Safari is not, as you put it "rapidly diminishing" in favor of Chrome. The statistics show that the browser losing users is Microsoft Internet Explorer. . . now down to 52%. You seem to think that the first thing the 3.47 million buyers of new Macs did in the last quarter was delete Safari and install an alternative browser. Not true. Certainly, the 3.27 million iPad owners and 8.7 million new iPhone owners are using Safari. . . Not Chrome.

Are you trying to imply that for-q-clinton didn't make a false claim? I guess that makes you a reprobate too, PugetSoundwimp.

Put up or shut up. Oh I forgot, I already asked you to do that before on another thread and you ran away. You should know the snipers motto by now. You can run, but you will just die tired.
