Not a big deal, more of a curiosity. When posting, if I click on the “insert link” my browser (Safari) will sometimes crash. When this happens if I restart Safari it will continue to happen. If I switch to Chrome, I’m fine. It’s a very intermittent problem that has happened maybe 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Any ideas? ---

Use Chrome? 😉 Honestly, you’re probably not going to get a better idea than that here. There are too many reasons it might crash and it would take a review of a crash dump to narrow it down. If it happens enough to be annoying, try a reinstall or update of Safari. ---

That’s kind of what I figured. I’ll reinstall Safari.
