Snow Leopard's Safari resisting a Flash crash

A quick video demonstrating what happens when Flash crashes in Safari running on Mac OS X 10.6. When I run the command in the Terminal, it kills the process that manages Flash, and you can see the effect it has on the browser (not much).

you make it sound as if it's flash's own fault for crashing.

@ImperialArmour In this case it isn't. In the dozens of other cases where it happens, it is. In the ended I just removed Flash from my system entirely, and now I barely get crashes at all. Go figure.

@danudey What I meant to say was, I never experienced the kind of gripe you have with flash before, not even since the days of Macromedia and 256mb of ram.

@ImperialArmour Sounds like you're not a Mac user. It's notoriously unreliable on OS X, despite being fine (and much more performant) on Windows.

that flash ad isn't ugly at all.

Wish this was doing what it's suppose to, when using safari on my macbook pro running snow leopard 10.6.1 it constantly crashes the entire browser taking all my open tabs with it, not even recovering the tabs upon reopening, on remedy that works is using firefox, crashes less frequent then safari, I know its a flash issue but I'm tired of beach balls and crashes, so those mac ads can kiss my ass for bashing Windows on stability and reliability, dont eve get me started on my blinking screen.

@EVILicecreamman987 It's normal

@gnomefros True, that one was not bad :P But, why are they using Flash for that kind of ad, a .gif would do just the same o.O

Safari is crashing on me tons.. I have no idea why, I did a fresh format.. it was working fine for a few days, then started crashing again.. hope they fix this on 10.6.3
