Try lightening for mac. It's a much slimmer application, and once you work out how to use it, it performs better than Safari. I tend to use it more and more. It gives me less of a "busy" problem that frustrates me so much in Safari. On 30 Nov 2011, at 18:50, Christina wrote: > I am still using S

Hmmm, what is webkit? I followed the link but I don't get it. I did not find a download link or description of the app? Is it a seperate browser apart from Safari? Pardon my ignorance but I cannot figure it out. Christina On Nov 30, 2011, at 2:53 PM, Cody wrote: > I guess all the issues we'

Is this happening on all sites or just certain ones. Web pages can do lots of bad things which trip up a screen reader such as rotating content and tickers. CB On 11/30/11 1:50 PM, Christina wrote: I am still using SL and I am using the most current version of Safari. Why am I having so muc
