Apple Releases Safari 6
Even if you don't plan to upgrade to Mountain Lion, as of today Safari 6 is available as an update for older versions of OS This new version includes numerous security fixes and improvements. For a (long) list of fixed bugs, the the Apple security announcement [1]. There are also some new security related features: extensions can now figure out if you are in private browsing mode, which should make it easier for extensions to avoid leak. the "https" in https urls is highlighted more, and the lock with more information about the certificate is placed right next to it. The safe password feature got redone, but it doesn't look like Safari will suggest new passwords unless you run Mountain Lion. [1] http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5400 ------ Johannes B.
