Safari Browser

I just started using Safari Browser. I'm impressed with the speed that it
downloads pages. Anyone have any suggestions for me that are either
positive or negative about the browser?

Thanks

Paul

 

I installed it on one of my machines and it seems to work fine.

 

I've tried it, has a huge memory leak.

 

Reviews of Safari running under Windows have not been too positive....

 

What does that mean? Can you explain, please?

 

Do you have any references or know of any problems?

 

A leak is a place where something escapes. Take it from there.

 

Still no idea what you mean. What escapes? Browser history? Saved
passwords? Web pages? How would I notice such a leak? What would happen
to my computer or to Safari?

 

Thanks. I'll look up memory leak, but now I get it. Memory leaks into
Safari so there is none available for other apps. Seems like memory sponge
would be more appropriate name, if I'm interpreting you correctly. I'll
keep an eye on how much memory it uses.

Yes I have read Atlas Shrugged. Great book.

 

1168 pages? I'll wait for the movie - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/

 

Memory. That's why it was called a "memory leak".

You'd run out of, or find decreaed, your usable memory. Memory. Memory
leak. Memory. Memory leak. Might even try Gooling for the term. The
term memory leak. Memory leak .

Have you ever read "Atlas Shrugged"?

 

Not quite, but you're on the right track.

Agreed. How about "The Fountainhead"?

 

Read that too, as well as everything else she wrote.

 

I checked Memory Leak on google and get the idea. I looked on task manager
and safari is currently using 106 MB of RAM, which was just 102 MB a minute
or so ago. Pretty soon, I won't have any left for other apps. So, if I
close Safari, do I get back all the RAM?

 

In theory, but not necessarily in practice. That's probably one
reason why rebooting every day or less is part of traditional
Windows maintenance; other OSs don't require that.

 

Which versions of Windows require a daily reboot?

 

Uhhhh, the entire 9x family... ?!? d^%}>~*

There's no "requirement" - as in there's not a
"requirement" to hold your breath, untie the rocks
holding your feet, and attempt to propel yourself
to the surface when water gets way over your head...

Sometimes prudence just prevails, and dumping all
the caches improves performace.

Not so much with my XP stations - but every now and then...

im not sure if this still applies to mac o/s x (safari began as a mac
app), but in 'classic' mac o/s versions (i.e. 9 and under), you were
able to individually change the amount of RAM allocated to each app.
sometimes the software designers allowed too much, and some times not
enough. for myself, i was comfortable with that scheme because i always
knew where my memory was going, and had the power to administer
resources to an app. to run on only enough ram as required for its
function according to my purpose, unlike in windows....
I guess this feature on the mac side got programmers to become lazy when
coding for windows.....?

 

as with many books critical of society, there are a few fundamental
flaws in the book referenced here, the first being that it is too
simplistic to draw reference upon society as a whole, and is also meant
as a critique upon the Communist Russia that "Ayn" left behind.
However, Communism left in her a bad taste in her mouth for any
socialist ideas whatever.
I wonder what her views on health care were as she aged beyond her
working years....?
Secondly, her heroes were Industrialists (at the time, a leading cause
of pollution in Russia), who eventually went on 'strike' to protest
regulation of any form, to make as much money as they were capable
(likely this would mean at the expense of the enviroment)....her views
of 'morality' were so focused upon the individual, that pollution
concerns were not so much even an after thought.

 

I reboot once a week on the weekend.
