I thought a new type of web plugin, different from Netscape plugins, had been introduced with Mac OS X and/or Safari. Any project to fix this? “The Mac plugin framework is really archaic ” So I understand there is no need to blame Adobe for the performance problems with the Flash plugin.

What you may interpret as condecension is likely the fact that <em>any user</em> of a WebKit-based browser may be participating in this conversation, not just those whom are technically inclined. It's very difficult to know what level of knowledge to assume when composing a response in a situation such as that. Simplifications and explanations are provided so that those not intimately familiar with how things work can at least follow along, and to ensure that everyone is on the same page. - Mark name99, please try and keep the discussion relevant to the topic at hand and avoid making a technical discussion into a personal one.

While I have nothing against the idea of Safari being able to run smoothly in perpetuity without restarting, I would question the need to keep your computer running constantly. There are only a finite amount of natural resources – it’s not a bad idea to conserve some when you can.

(2) Do you have no kids and a vasectomy? I do. If you don’t, then WTF right do you have to tell other people about saving natural resources? Any kids you bring into the world will utilize VASTLY more resources than my sleeping TiBook portable.

All the animations I see are ads. It's bad enough for them to take resources while I'm watching the page. I certainly don't want them doing it while I'm not. I'm also getting tired of having Safari slowly degrade in performance, impacting the rest of the system. I hope I don't sound negative. I really like Safari. But I'm slowly moving to other browsers because of Safari's impact on the system, and its insistence on my installing Flash even though I don't want it. (Yes, I know there are shareware products for this, but my experience is that shareware system tools eventually cause more trouble than they solve.)
