Browser Loyalties

I've been having major problems with Safari crashing unexpectedly. It's driving me nuts. I've tried every fix recommended by my brain and all the experts, even installing a shiny new version to no avail.

In desperation I fired up Firefox and started the painstaking process of remembering my user names and passwords of my favourite sites to enter into Firefoxes data base. I was all prepared to switch browser loyalties when I realized the advice I was getting for fixing safari crashes was, at best, six months old.

I typed "safari crashes 2009" into Google and came up with this fix. from Mulder over on Apple support.

disable the "Warn before visiting a fraudulent website" option in Preferences > Security, then restart to see if the problem persists?

So far it seems to be working. I hope it lasts until Apple pays heed to my numerous bug reports and comes up with a new fix.
