Every single time I am forced to start this sorry piece of shit software (bank requires it) it is doing some kind of auto-update, restarts and then changes the start page into some kind of shitty "You are now using version 84.490328" homepage. It is several times per week!

I can't seem to figure out a way to shut auto-update off completely. So before I hunt down and kill whoever invented the slowest and most buggy shit browser known to man, does anyone know whether these updates can be turned off anywhere? I can't find it!!

Go into Preferences -> Advanced -> Update. You should see something there that says "turn off".

You can pay me later.

EDIT: Damn it, Jox. How are we supposed to laud things over your head if you go and figure it out yourself?

Well, I would still like to pay you. How much money do you want?

Now you're just flirting.

But since you asked so nicely, I do need some beta testers.

Jox, you're one tough nut to crack.

Safari & Chrome are both built from Apple's WebKit, so they are almost the same browser. They diverge in their Javascript engine. But now we're just into semantics.

Nevermind. I just caught your signature - a Mercedes! You capitalist pig. You can forget about any money. You obviously chop down rainforests etc. in order to maintain your lifestyle. So screw you and your favorite vegetable if you happen to have one!
