Thanks.

I just tested and these all seem to be working fine for me.

- Download site pref: David just asked me to check something and I tested the old way first. The issue seems to be resolved.
- Adblocking: I've been exchanging emails with Troy on this. It seems to be getting better, but I still run into issues. Next time I find one I can reproduce, I'll send it in
- Status bar icons: Has been brought up by others as well. Last time it worked properly was in 5.1. Next time I see it, I'll send in some screenshots. I wish I could come up with steps to reproduce, and others have not been able to either.
- Cookie deletion: I was working on a few sites when I ran into this issue. That's how I first discovered the cookies were being set properly for sure and OW was still acting as if a cookie I deleted was there. I've run into it on another site as well and posted about it here. When I find one that I can submit to you that doesn't require something like a car purchase for you to test, I'll send it in.

I haven't seen this. Just to make sure it wasn't because I'm always visiting the same web sites, I just went to macsurfer and Command-Clicked on the first ten article links; their thumbnails all loaded.

(Tabs not loading) It happens with sites that I visit often (eg, reloading a workspace.) Initially I was having some issues with the timeout (workspace taking too long to load so the pages fail to load.) I removed some pages so that wouldn't happen. Still, often when I reload a workspace the thumbnails are blank until I click on them. The page had fully loaded. (This is on a PPC 10.4.11 machine, FWIW.)

I haven't seen anything like this, but I'm also not quite sure what you mean.

(Pages not loading from the server.) Happens sometimes with cache set to 0 and when I reload a page. It happens in source view as well. David said this was a known issue (refetching within the source editor.)

Please bear in mind that the people writing code aren't drawing any new icons, so updating our icons doesn't really interfere with making progress on any of the issues you're concerned about.

That's good to know. Still, since some of these issues are rather long-standing, it's irritating to see resources allocated to one area (that, IMHO, is less important at the moment) when other areas are lacking. It's like having a dozen people at the counter taking orders, but only one barista. I also think results are what matter.
There are other issues as well. I've submitted some, others I haven't. Sometimes I get a reply like "[I'll] look out for any other users experiencing the same thing"... and know that basically that issue isn't going to get solved because very few people are going to find it, and even fewer people are going to try and recreate it and even fewer people are going to bother to take the time to tell you about it.
