Re: [CGUYS] Apple Will Not Provide Safari 2.0.2, or 2.0.3, or 2.0.4

Don't waste your time with Safari, it's a bad browser.  I will spare you a 
diatribe on just how bad it is.

Although I am not personally a Mac user, I can still confidently recommend 
Camino (http://caminobrowser.org/) as the way to immensely improve your 
browsing experience.  You'll never go back.

I have never understood the glowing talk of Apple's superpower browser, 
Safari. I have always thought it was lame and featureless. (although 
according to the stats, I guess it is fast.)Indeed Camino has a similar 
presentation, but is clearly superior to Safari to me. I use it for a 
specific task.
There were new features I was curious about so I downloaded the 3.0.3 
(beta?)version and it simply upgraded my 2.? version. I haven't 
experimented with it yet.


I use Firefox and Seamonkey heavily and I don't think anything compares .

Personally I have a number of browsers on my Mac, but my favorite is 
OmniWeb.  I highly recommend it to all Mac users (sorry there is no 
Windows version).  It is a powerful and easy to use browser.  Check it 
out at:

I had Safari 2.0.4 installed on my iMac G5.
I installed Safari 3 Beta over it. I liked it, but had some problems. 
I trashed it and went back to Safari 2.0 from my original install 
disks. Apple Software Update did not update Safari 2.0 to 2.0.4. On 
Apple's web site, only 2.0.1 and 3 Beta are available.

Autofill did not work in Safari 2.0. I tried everything that I could 
think of, it would not work. I called Apple Tech Support and spent one 
and one half to two hours with them, while they had me jump through 
one hoop after another, and nothing worked. I asked why update didn't 
work and why 2.0.4 was not available; they didn't know. Finally, they 
said that my framework for Safari is damaged, and I must archive and 
install the OS all over again, then reinstall Safari 2.0, and 
everything will be fine.


I did not want to do this. I searched the web and found someone who 
had 2.0.4 available for download. I downloaded it, installed it, and 
Autofill worked the first time that I tried it.
