Totally loving Safari now?
I really liked safari when it firstly came out but once I started using it as my primary browser I started to stumble across little bugs etc which meant I still had to go and use IE or whatever. Well now with the latest release it just totally rocks.
What do all you guys/gals think? Still lots of room for improvement?Or are you satisfied enough?

The only minor grievance I still have with it is that it screws up my own website (though all the others I work on now render correctly). Probably my own fault for cheating totally and having floating cell sizes in various table, so I'm going to regard it as an excellent opportunity to redo all the graphics...
Why is it that Java is so "iffy" in Safari? Will it ever work well?

Safari uses Java 1.4.1 by default (if it's available). IE uses Java 1.3. That might explain the differences.
There's a way to get Safari to use Java 1.3 if you have both runtimes. I don't have it to hand, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

According to Apple, updating to Java 1.4.1 does not replace older Java versions (i.e. 1.3.1), but rather adds the new one. This is so apps that rely upon older Java versions won't break after the update. So, if I still have both runtimes, how do I change Safari from its default Java 1.4.1 to 1.3?
question :::
is there any way to get safari to play mpgs in the browser?
However the new version needs to be restarted frequently since after a while it'll just stop loading pages. They just come up blank. Restarting Safari fixes this.
Pick Java version for Safari - from Apple
I tried it. Safari still chokes on the same Java applets that Explorer handles correctly. There must be something else at fault here.
What do you have for a homepage in Safari preferences? Change it to apple.com or something similar and try again. Maybe whatever website you have there calls for a password from your keychain.

No problems here. I launch it and it loads without asking keychain access.

Yeah I really like the bookmark management feature. I must literally have around a 1000 bookmarks perfectly sorted in a handy fashion!

Indeed it does, Safari keeps your autofill stuff secure. This includes the little search box on Google.com.
It doesn't give your PW out to any site for whatever reason though. In fact, I don't think Safari even gets access to it, rather it has permission to access the item in your keychain. Or something like that.

It's doing this to me as well, and I'm not sure why. I can't see anything that would cause it.
also, how do I get rid of the java console?
