![]() ![]() When Safari started behaving that badly, the rest of my Mac would inevitably start choking right along with it. ![]() And that makes Safari 5.1 grind to a near standstill, as tab content is endlessly purged, making the browsing process take much longer than it should. When I write a Weekly Wrap for Macworld, or if I’m researching a product to buy, I can end up with two or three dozen tabs open on my screen. Even if there’s no form data to lose, this behavior still means that you get to wait for the page to load all over again. Like the iPad and iPhone, Safari for Mac now refreshes tabs’ content when you go back to them if you haven’t viewed them in a while, which can wipe out any content you’ve entered into a form. I don’t know why, but Safari Web Content just doesn’t behave very well. The problem is that Safari’s implementation is flawed, and Apple hasn’t fixed it yet.
