Thank you, I dont hit many websites that could be bad, but you never know. Was watching a news site today, and up popped a stupid video, that had nothing to do with the news or weather!I will do the update right now,,,,,,Safari seems faster and everything is just fine.Thanks for the 'courage' to do it.Jane
You don't have to stray far from major good-reputation Web sites to find badness. These days, what malware distributors do is hack legitimate Web sites and plant malware on them. A lot of high-profile Web sites have been hacked and used to spread computer viruses: delta.com, nbc.com, IMDb, ZDnet, the New York Times, and UNICEF's site have all been compromised and used to spread malware at one point or another. It's dangerous to assume you can steer clear of attack just by avoiding dodgy sites.
Oh, Oh!The videos on the local news channel do not show any more with this new Safari update.We were warned of this. I watch the news first thing in the morning, so this is a pain in the tail-feathers. Will use Chrome or Firefox for the news until Apple fixes this one.Would think Apple would fix this right away, as videos are an important part of the news, and YouTube is very very popular too. Lots of people will be making FF or Chrome their browser of choice for now.
For some people, the Safari update seems to be inadvertently turning off browser plugins or Javascript I've seen a lot of folks complain they can't see videos in Safari after the update, and when they check their preferences, Javascript is off, plugins are off, or both.This didn't happen to me, but it's worth looking in to to see if it's the cause of your problems. Run Safari and go to the Safari->Preferences command. Click Security and make sure "Enable JavaScript" is turned on. Click Extensions and make sure extensions are turned on. For whatever reason, the update seems to be turning them off for some people (but strangely, not for everyone).
