Most of the time it's google. The site is not a constant. I'm not entirely sure that it's Safari causing the problem, other than it's safari that gets used 90% of the time on this system. It tends to live in the living room and get used for surfing for info, recipes, etc, while we're watching TV or reading. (damn near every magazine article in all the magazines we read have 'links for more information' at the end of them...) So it's usage is web ~90% email ~8% everything else ~2%. I'm running clicktoflash on it so flash isn't being kicked on when a site loads, so I fon't think it's the usual Flash dodginess. This has been an ongoing annoyance with this machine for a while, I'm just now making a serious attempt to fix it.
