I can't wait for version 6, since v5.1.X I feel that the browser has become noticeably slower and buggy (for example v5.1.3 on my macbook pro developed a new bug on the Downloads windows the "magnifying glass" button that shold show the file in Finder no longer works).
Never the less its still my choose for browsing and by my experience its gives the best performance (maybe Chrome is a bit faster, but a resource hog) and efficiency.

... at least, the "leaks" command which could be used to reveal visited website's login-data (url,user,password) requires now an admin-password which kinda helps. Not elegant but protects against someone who has access to your machine while you're making a coffee.

Every time I launch Safari, it keeps forgetting my toolbar bookmarks I imported from the previous session. It replaces them all with the default set.
I currently have no other extensions installed and have not modified preferences in any way.
Help anyone?

Actually I love Safari, it's fast and has minimalist design. But even version 5.1.2 still has excessive memory usage issue. "Safari Web Content" will sometimes use over 1 GB of my 3 GB RAM. That's pretty lame for a web browser. Sorry I have to switch back to Google Chrome :(

Safari, ever since version 5.1 and some iterations beforehand has been troublesome. So much so that I've been planning on switching to Chromium.

The only thing that saved Safari from Chrome was 5.1.2, but only barely. Even with 5.1.2, Apple needs to get a handle on Safari releasing the RAM it uses once you close websites/tabs.

I'm very disappointed in how long it took Apple to come out with at least an attempt at this with 5.1.2.

My trigger finger is still on Chrome. Apple better keep working on Safari to get it more robust and SOON.

Safari 5.1.2 is incompatible with Google Earth Plug-in 6.1.0.5001 (latest build of each).

If you, like many unforyunate users, deleted Safari from Lion, thinking a fresh load would make it run better, then you are in a fix. The people we used to trust at Apple have a browser which will not load under its current OS. What the h_ll are they thinking? Safari 5.1 only loads under Snow Leopard. So, if you deleted Safari, you basically have to wait until the next release to get it back.

After 2+ decades of loving this company, they turn more into another Microsoft with each half-baked decision.

I miss the old Apple. I miss having control over my machine.

I know there is some Lion restore you can download to repair Lion and perhaps get safari running again, but why should I have to go through that? When Lion was released, they should have upgraded safari to e loadable under that OS. Another in a string of recent blunders. My son's $800 PC, suddenly doesn't seem so bad next to my $5000 Mac pro set-up.

YouTube videos are choppy now. I love the speed of the new Safari in Snow Leopard but videos take forever to load and stop and go. I've reinstalled Safari, ran Onyx. Still choppy videos.

With the 5.1 I have an odd problem with the tab shortcuts. I setup CMD+right arrow to move to next tab and vice versa for moving to the previous tab. It worked flawless till this version. If I define CMD+shift+right arrow (and vice versa) it works, but I don't like this short clumsier shortcut.

V. 5.04 Crashes at least once or twice a day.
