Safari Memory Leaks
I usally use webkit, but switched back to safari because of problems with GMail.
Anyway, I think there's a memory leak (Safari's RAM useage was 100MB the other day) Anyone else having problems with Safari Memory leaks?  I usally only have one webpage/tab open at a time. |

No kidding  .Safari is the canonical example of an app leaking memory like there was no tomorrow... To be fair, they've fixed a whole lot of it over time. Try to use the most recent version you can. |

Getting worse?
I'd never really noticed Safari memory leaks until the last two or three months.
Now, I'm getting fairly routine circumstances where I have one window open with one tab, and Safari's using 1.5 or 1.6 gigabytes (!) of virtual memory. Have they broken something recently? Any hope for a fix in 10.4.next? It's gotten bad enough that I've switched to Firefox for a lot of my daily browsing. (Note: this happens on my PowerMac desktop, my PowerBook G4 laptop, and an Intel laptop too.) |

Solution
I had a problem with Safari too. Sometimes it used more than 600MB of memory. I had 3 plugins installed (Inquisitor, Saft, TabExpose). I really enjoyed them but I knew they were the cause. I uninstalled 2 of them and left only Inquisitor. The biggest memory usage I have noticed so far was 180MB. Worked.

Which version of Safari are you using? Is it Safari 3 which came with the 10.4.11 update? I'm noticing a few threads over the past week regarding problems with version 3 and plug-ins. |

Consider that this thread dates from 2006. That was probably Safari 2.

Hi Chabig, I thought gawelsk's post looked like it was from yesterday, so I thought I'd ask about it.
