i have a mac laptop and safari was the best browser, but it isn't anymore, i downloaded the free versions of mozilla firefox and netscape for the macs, they're fast and work like the safari used to. i find if i clear the history and cache pretty often and then quit the browser and then go back in it works great, another thing i do once in awhile while i'm clearing history and cache is go to where it say's enalble java, i unclick it and reclick it, everything is under preferences. i do all that pretty often, and it makes a big difference.
