Silverlight 1.0 a crash doubler?

[Tutor]

Hi,

yesterday I installed Silverlight 1.0 and then had multiple crashes on sites that use this plugin. That's with OW 5.7 96113. I have then deleted it and OW is stable again.

I disklike the political dimensions of Silverlight, but someday I might have to use it, so It would be nice if the devs look into it.

I have no idea if the crashes are because of buggy web sites, the plugin itself, or the plugin-OW interaction.

Cheers

I've run into some crashy behavior as well and will be keeping an eye on this.

Thanks for letting us know.

Any update on Silverlight progress? MLB.com is pretty much impossible to use with Omniweb and I visit enough to make switching away from Omniweb more and more a possibility.

Brent Simmons' on the matter:

"I’ve said it before — one of my favorite things about the iPhone is no Flash. I will now add and no SilverlightPlugin."
