I'm running Snow Leopard for about a week now and roughly 5 times Safari would completely freeze up. Granted I usually had like 15 tabs running on multiple browser screens but still, this didn't happen before the upgrade. I would occasionally get the spinning wheel for a few seconds but rarely a complete freeze...

Any cure or should I just limit the amount of screens/tabs I've got running?

 

On a 2007 Intel Duo Core 2 MB Pro btw.

 

Safari is multithreaded, you can run as many tabs/windows as you like and it shouldn't care. Generally the only thing that'll blow it up is third party plugins (flash, call your office), really weird DOM rendering issues (e.g. really bad site code), or DNS issues.

Check that your ISP's DNS machines are up to snuff, and that you've got at least two specified in your network config.

 

Ah gracias, yes it ususally happens when I've got a (few) flashvideos loading. How can I specify multiple DNS machines?

 

Stop watching so much pron at the same time, dude.

 

System Prefs -> Network

Select whatever method you're using to connect, click advanced, click the DNS tab, click the little plus sign.
