I've noticed this happen before. I've also noticed that sometimes the pages get all blurry. Like after swiping back and forth on the trackpad to go back or forward a page. Has anyone else noticed this? |

Not quite but I had pages not load at all and just be white. Never an error or anything just a blank white page. It was weird and started recently out of the blue. I'm glad they fixed the postal shipping thing. That one boggled my mind. I downloaded some adobe bloated wear crap and it still didn't work. I had to resort to something else. I thought it was the postal site not safari. |

| Installed and went right back to using Chrome. I probably won't give Safari another honest look until Mountain Lion comes out. |

| The new update acts different can't describe it really. Maybe how it loads not sure, but it's an improvement on my end. I'm getting closer to what I want out of it. Still Top sites got a little glitch now and then. Its smoother though I can already tell that. Sometimes a page gets stuck no matter what bookmark I click. It still does it I just had it happen so that's still there. I almost forgot about that problem, because i don't get it a lot. |
