Let's hope they fixed the bug where WindowServer hangs up randomly after closing a Youtube tab. It's an incredibly annoying bug that's forcing me to reboot every 2-3 days. I don't browse Youtube on Safari, but as soon as there is a website with an embedded video, boom it goes :(

#12A point release every n months is utterly useless for on-the-ground web developers. Safari needs to move to the Firefox/Chrome deployment model if it wants to remain at all relevant.
Great. But as an end user I "utterly" hate the Chrome/Firefox model of endless updates.

I think it will remain relevant anyway as long as people keep using it.
You sound almost happy about the fact we have a new IE6 in our midst.

Relevant for "on the ground web devs", which is a very small market.
Safari will remain relevant for a long time as long as it is the default browser on OS X and iOS.
I prefer Safari and don't care much for 6-week release cycle for Chrome and Firefox. If anything, they've gotten worse in stability since they switched to 6 weeks cycle for me.

Or as long as Apple keeps enforcing the "Safari Engine Only" rules on iOS. I think a lot of people would consider switching if Chrome for iOS was legitimate Chrome (rather than a Chrome UI with a Safari engine).

Is this a common bug? Were you seeing it in some kind of developer release, perhaps? I've never had that happen to me, and I browse Youtube in Safari every single day.

#17I was forced to stop using Safari on my iPhone 5 because it became unusably slow after loading only a handful of simultaneous tabs. The changes came after one of the Apple updates and after that I had to switch to Chrome for iPhone.

You hate endless security updates? Endless compatibility updates? Endless feature improvements?
I'm not sure what part of the dark ages you would like to return to. Are we talking pre-Chrome, pre-Firefox or the days when Netscape 4 roamed majestically across the Triassic plains?

Please no.
I really love Safari for being just a really good browser. No 'sneaky OS' like Chrome (I don't need Chromes User management, thank you, and I'd much rather have my OS's context menus and font aliasing), and speedier, if you will, 'snappier' than Firefox, with its custom animations for every button and overall not very 'native' look and feel.
No, I want a browser that does what a browser should do; let me easily and speedily browse the web. Safari is great at that.

But due to the nature of closed iOS, Chrome on iOS uses the same engine as Safari...
