You said — I know it’s not PC to mention it on an Apple thread, but the previous version of Safari was the most crash-prone browser of the 5 that I use: 32-bit IE, 64-bit IE, FF, Chrome and Safari.

There can be other reasons for that, other than Safari, itself. There are those add-ons that can cause problems, in that other programmers have done something that isn’t stable with Safari. So, Safari gets blamed, because that’s what you see crashing, but it was the other programmer’s code doing it... LOL...

There’s that sort of thing.

And then, if you read that certain people have some problems with a certain version while the mass of others using it don’t, then that clues you into the fact that there is something in the way that one person has their computer set up that is causing the problem. That person may not be aware of what they did, or have on their computer, or the way it was set up that is causing it, but that’s usually what it is. There’s a conflict there, somewhere that they’re not aware of.

I’ve been using Safari 4 for XP and love it...except for the constant crashing. Hopefully this new version fixes the stability.
