I get this occasional nuisance with both IE and Safari where I get no progress when going to a site with Favorites/Bookmarks.  I'll have to close the window and go from there- does anyone else experience this?  It did it both in 10.2.1 and 10.2.3

Once or twice in Safari, I've had a message saying it failed to reach a site after trying for 30 seconds, but that seems to be when I have a lot of browser windows open.
Which I often do...

What?!

You're still using separate Favorites/Bookmark files in multiple browsers!     Maybe X has made it easy to import/export these files between browsers, but why bother? That's exactly why URLM Pro was created. No need to ever use any browsers 'facilities' for these things. Get rid of that space-wasting "Favorites" bar. Use the screen for what it is made for - viewing the site.

And it still works and is upgraded for those of us in 9 (you remember, the OS for the Terminal Challenged!    ).

Jim, I love URL Manager Pro (though it doesn't fully work with Safari yet, and the just-released Omniweb beta has only now taken it on board).

But I also like having different favourites in different browsers, a matter of which one I prefer to use for whatever it may be.
