#Leopard webkit install#
So if disabling IPv6 seems to eliminate the browser problems I wonder if I still should do another clean install (because of having had the system-wide Webkit installed for a couple of days), as Hack suggested.?īecause most extensions slow down your browser I try to minimize the number in use on my PPC machines. I guess I'll have to start a keeping a log of all the changes I make. So I just follow the instructions recommended on the PPC-related sites etc. I'm not a technical person, more a luddite (yes, lud/dilettante.), so I rarely understand/remember what all the tweaks are about in a technical sense (just the broad sense of improving security/performance etc). And just now I noticed the Dictionary word links work for the first time in ages. I disabled it now and at least one site that caused problems before seems to work fine now. I remember now I disabled it in the past, but probably haven't had it off since december because I had various problems and started doing erase/reinstalls. The IPv6 thing is a good example of something I just forget having done before. But in fact I have also wondered if Onyx might undo some useful tweaks.) Maybe some such files could also bring back some problems.? (At least I ran Onyx on stuff, etc. I use it as backup storage (no new backups) and besides my documents, I have selectively copied some home library files back onto the new drive. But my previous boot disk is also connected as my second drive, and still has everything from the last year. A clean install of boot disk is one thing of course (I did that some days ago - but then did reinstall Webkit, too - now uninstalled). Since I had Webkit installed system wide for well over a year I wonder if there's anything I should check retrospectively. D But I might also install that Fox browser at least to see how it works. Maybe I should try a faster connection.? I probably have the cheapest/slowest there is. So, I don't know if I've been more vulnerable recently when just using the silver Safari with Webkit installed together with those scripts.īe as it may, at the moment I'm having various problems on both versions, like the ones I mentioned before, and today I had to restart the browser for logging into email, for instance. "Disable TopSites preview rendering" I haven't used because I love the feature. I tried this but couldn't quite figure out how it works. "Enable advanced features" and "Update system certificates".
Never realized I had to "know exactly what I'm doing". So after that, for over a year ago, I went back to the silver-rimmed Safari, as I had installed Webkit, anyway.
" In case you did install there is no point in using the WebKit application - Safari will share Leopard WebKit with all other applications that use WebKit, like Mail, Dashboard and others." I found the original conversation with Tobias and he said: I don't use Glimmerblocker anymore as I was told it's redundant together with hosts files, or something like that. So which is it, did something change, or what.? And if I'm still not supposed to set the Webkit.app as the browser, what's the difference? Have I made a big mistake using it as a browser?Īlso, I use Clicktoplugin and hosts files. If I set Webkit as default it means the Webkit.app will start as the browser for instance when I click on Weblocs (which I use instead of bookmarks). However in the latest version it says "don't forget to set the latest WebKit version as the default web browser in the Safari settings." Now, at the settings I see Safari.app (5.0.6) and Webkit.app (r187880). Long ago Tobias Netzel explained to me personally that I'm not supposed to use the Webkit.app itself as the browser but, once installed, Safari will utilize it. I'll have to go back to basics: I've been confused about the relation of Safari and the Webkit.app for a long time. I've installed 8GB RAM and reinstalled Leopard on my G5 and everything works great, but Safari/Webkit still stalls at times, won't load images, or perform a search.
