Latest Safari is 6.1.

Hi Samuel, thanks for the quick response. Safari 6.1 is still a developer beta, 6.0.5 is the latest general release. Let me know if I can provide any logs etc.

#4

Yup, 6.0.5 of Safari here.

And that feed totally crashes my Safari as well. Perhaps development should be tailored to what is the current release of Safari rather than the beta??

#6

Yeah, my mistake on 6.1. But crashing a browser is the browser’s responsibility, not mine. It’s probably something fishy in the feed, but there’s not much I can do about it on NewsBlur’s side.

Apologies, I’d missed this story…

The feed contains a post with said characters which is triggering the Safari bug so nothing to do with NewsBlur.
