Give examples of a group of sites so we can see what is what.

Use Safari. Go to <http://www.aftenposten.no> (Norwway's major daily
subscription newspaper) and open let's say six to ten articles in tabs
quickly while still on the front page by Cmd-click, as if you'r just
browsing the front and picking articles to read.

Then note if you get any stalls or spinnning balls on the way, and if
Safari stalls when you try to switch tabs

.... this site is so absurdly made with so many mistakes that one
cannot draw too many conclusions about it. The home page is so
big with so many things that have to load up that I cannot load
it in any browser on dialup without wanting to kill and maim and
burn...

It is true that Safari just gives up (sensibly, in this case!),
iCab battles on and on as does Firefox and both eventually get
the page rendered.

The answer to your question at one level is this, Safari has
always been a bigger stickler for well formed websites and is
more sensitive than any other browser I know to mistakes in the
html and css. The plus in this is that if Safari renders a page
well, it is to some extent not too bad a made page and good to
use for web making... I recall IE for Mac being very forgiving,
the ability to roll with things... Safari has higher standards (a
weakness and a strength).

To see a print out of the formal mistakes and errors, get iCab
and click on the red frowning unhappy face.
