WTF since when do mac programs have unexpected shutdowns?
Just because I had a shitload of safari windows and tabs open does not make this acceptable!

1. Safari is a bit flaky.
Apple have released several stability updates over the past year or so, but the browser still crashes more than it should. Interestingly, the version of Safari on my iPhone likes to crash too.

I use Camino on my Mac. It's a great browser and rarely crashes.

2. My browser (on the Mac) used to crash repeatedly while I was on DU
Both Safari and Firefox. Then I disabled the DU Google ads and presto! no more crashes.

:shrug:

3. The only problem I ever had was with this stupid Adobe Flash 9 crap....
embedded in some ePay auction that crashes Safari and Firefox.

I always have a crapload of windows/tabs open.
