Tag - Safari
I've just been over at mess.be where I read a short piece of rather interesting news. Safari 3.0, Apple's update to its infamous web browser has been a public beta for a couple of months now. What made people turn heads is that Safari was now Windows compatible, a first time for the web browser.
However Mac users who use Safari 3.0 and the Mac version of MSN Messenger have been experiencing problems. Messenger keeps on crashing and it seems to be related to the new Safari. If you are also experiencing difficulties, try downgrading Safari and see if the issue is resolved.
The bug is caused by Microsoft's Messenger clients having a habit of using particular web browsers to use Messenger. You probably notice the Internet Explorer clicks when you open some windows, well that is caused by Messenger rendering pages using Internet Explorer (not your default browser). I find it an annoying issue that MSN/ Windows Live Messenger requires a particular browser to work. If you uninstalled Internet Explorer, you would notice many Windows programs not working. The same also applies to Macs.
