Safari 5.1 Pages Not Responding
Posted July 8th, 2011 @ 11:47am by Erik J. Barzeski
I hate hate hate hate this dialog box.
I'm a HEAVY browser user. I'll have 50-100 tabs open at any given moment. I absolutely hate when Safari purges some from its memory to "make room" for others. Oftentimes the purged pages were:
- Scrolled to a certain point on the page.
- Had a form or some text I was in the process of filling out.
- Had a movie loaded or some other sort of "state" that I wish to be preserved.
It's almost worth sticking with Snow Leopard and Safari 5.0 just to avoid this feature alone.

Why not switch to either Chrome or Firefox ?

I have philosophical differences with Chrome (the H.264 issue high on the list), and Firefox doesn't feel like a Mac application.

If you enable Safari’s hidden Debug menu, you can turn off the on-by-default “Use Multi-process Windows” option.
