There were few reports early Monday evening about whether the day's update had stopped browser crashes. One user, at least, said it had not. "[Safari] 3.2.1 still crashed for me," reported a user identified as in a message posted around 7 p.m. EST.

Other users running PithHelmet -- a third-party ad-blocking plug-in -- also reported that the 3.2 update frequently crashed.

Apple updated both the and Windows versions of Safari to 3.2.1.

Mac OS X users can download and install 3.2.1 using Safari's built-in update feature, or on Windows, by running the separate Apple Software Update utility.
