Browser Crashes

[Phil Blunts]

I'm new to Macs. I recently got myself a brand new 12" G4 iBook. Overall I'm happy with it.

However, my browsers keep crashing on certain sites. Safari was crashing so I installed Firefox. Firefox was crashing so I installed Opera. Opera crashed too.

It seems to typically happen on Ad heavy sites so I'm assuming it MIGHT be flash player related, but I'm not certain.

Help please, I don't want to regret this purchase.

What is the difference between the sites that crash and the sites that don't?

If you have Microsoft Media Player for OSX, install flip4mac which allows Windows Media to play the files through quicktime; Media Player will cause the spinning beach ball/or just unexpectedly quit when the plugin is called for; I used to have to go to Safari preferences and disable plugins (security tab) on certain pages and sites however with flip4mac I have not had a problem.
