Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly

I recently switched to Safari on my Mac, and when I navigate through CoasterBuzz, almost every page that loads gives me a window that says,

Safari Web Content Quit Unexpectedly

At the top of the page is a small banner and it reads:

A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded

I clear the window and can read the content just fine.

Other times, it does not load the page at all, and I either get a gray Safari page that tells me to reload the page, or I get the CoasterBuzz error page.

I disabled Adblock on CoasterBuzz and double-checked it. I turned off all extensions to test if that was the problem, and nothing changed after that. Does anyone know how to get CoasterBuzz to work in my Safari browser? If this continues, I might have to switch back to Firefox with it's choppy videos and sloooow speed.

Seems like I forgot that topic.

Maybe I should just try out Chrome already. I'm not loving Safari anyways. There is no way to create favicons to click. Since CoasterBuzz is the number two website I frequent, second only to Facebook, maybe I should reconsider switching to yet another browser.

Chrome is so much faster on the Mac. I mean it's night and day faster. I don't know what Apple is doing to Safari to make it so slow, and I can't for the life of me understand how any site can crash a browser. They're doing it wrong.

wow Jeff, I didn't think that there would be a difference, but holy hell. Lightning fast compared to Safari

Yeah. I should have taken Raven-Phile's advice and started using Chrome a long time ago. I can't believe how great this is. And I can use "favicons!" Wow! I haven't watched a video in Chrome yet. Poor video playback was the entire reason I decided to stop using Firefox in the first place. If it passes that test, I am going to be one happy internet addict.

Anything that intensively uses client-side script (like Gmail or Facebook) is silly fast in Chrome. There's no comparison.

By the way, I think the issue with Safari might be its Websocket implementation. Not sure if you knew this or not, but this forum does all kinds of stuff that updates in real time. If you sit on the forum home page, recent topics, the activity feed, the topic lists, or any individual topic, it updates in real time because it keeps a connection open to the server so it can listen for new stuff and magically make it appear. To do that, there's something called Websockets, which all browsers support, though I think Safari sucks at it.

That is a great feature added to CoasterBuzz many years ago, and has made this an even better place for discussion! I seriously don't know why you don't package this software and sell it to others. You have an amazing product here!

Yeah, it's open source software... I give it away. Selling it is too much work, and it would have to compete with other free options that are "good enough" for a lot of people.

Always looking for people to do additional translations though. Why stop at six languages? :)

Since I can understand invy, I think that qualifies both of us in Gibberish.

I wasn't sure one way or another, but Yosemite doesn't come with a new version of Safari. While there though... wow... the little animation on the front page of CB stutters the whole way in Safari (the slide up of the three tease boxes). It's pretty awful on iPad, too.

I fought making the total switch to Chrome for some time, but I just can't handle Safari's junk anymore.

I switched to Chrome from Firefox a couple months ago as a troubleshooting step for slow page load times (granted, I'm on an insufferably slow DSL connection at home since I live in the sticks). Been using it ever since. There are some things I think Firefox does better, but overall I'm liking Chrome well enough.

Browsers should just be background. Granted, that's why it's called "Chrome," referring to the thin box around what matters.
