Safari on Windows Crashes Too Often

Posted in Apple, Coding, Computing, Design, Desktop, Linux, Rant, Windows, javascript by Brajesh on January 23rd, 2008

I’m not much of a fan of Apple softwares on Windows. I like iTunes though, even if it’s a bit bulky. I’ve tried using Safari on Windows for its super pleasing font rendering, aesthetics and, of late, some testing on WebKit/KHTML. However, it crashes just too often to be of any serious use and, of course, doesn’t have any DOM inspector. It has a barely usable JavaScript console though.
On a side-note, I’ve read that Safari can work on Linux under Wine. I’ll give it a try sometime. Now, if only I could run iTunes under Wine :) .

    Those crash dump files could help make some excellent bug reports. Safari bugs can be reported through . Would you be willing to upload your crash dumps into a bug report there so that the Safari team can try to fix the problem(s)?

    Looks like the URL for the bug reporting site got cut out. It is: http://bugreport.apple.com/

    I have not been a fan of Safari on a Mac, lets alone a PC. Granted, Safari was leaps ahead with tab browsing, than anyone else, but its no longer the market leader. Firefox has taken with and their new version even runs on a Mac
