    Obviously no browser is crash-free but I've noticed Safari has been crashing at least once a day and I think this started before Christmas. Initially I thought it was to do with opening pdf files but it can happen when I'm on any website, email etc. It's a little annoying as I don't know why it's been happening. I haven't installed any junk and my security stuff is up to date.

    Any ideas?

    It just closes without warning and then I'm asked if I want to send a report to Apple. I'll try and make note of any codes the net time it happens.

    It's a beta. Mine is crashing aswell, but that's what beta's are for, to iron out these problems.

    Indeed. Is it easy enough to remove programmes then?. I think I've only uninstalled something from my Mac once or twice, only got it in September.

    I've experienced frequent crashes with every version of Safari on several machines. I was using Camino for a good while with Tiger but I decided to give Safari another chance after upgrading to Leopard. Same thing, several crashes a day, particularly on imdb.com. However since installing Pithhelmet a few weeks ago most crashes have stopped. So I'm assuming (among other issues) Safari has some kind of ad/flash problem with certain sites.
