I am on a 1 year old 15" MBP 2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB memory … OSX 10.8.1 with all the latest updates - since I adopted Mountain Lion and the latest Safari, I am getting frequent Safari crashes … getting to be more frequent as the days go by. Anyone else noticing the same? Suggestions (aside from using another browser - I actually LIKE Safari!)?

Does Safari still crash with Extensions disabled? Is your Flash up to date?

Define "crash". Does it wink out of existence? Hang up and beach ball?

Does it happen on the same sites all the time? Have you tried grabbing the safari installer from the apple website and reinstalling?

disappears out of existence. Haven't tried reinstalling - guess I'll try that next.

Have you tried trashing the Safari .plist file? Quit Safari, move the .plist file to the desktop and then restart Safari. Your prefs will need to be reset, but see if that helps. If it does, then trash the old .plist file.

It's located in Users->Library->Preferences->com.apple.Safari.plist; and in order to do that, you'll need to have made the user library visible, which it is not, by default in ML. Either follow the directions here: Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion or download Mountain Tweaks (free) which is a great little utility that allows you to do a number of other things as well.

Mountain Tweaks - Download

Maybe as suggested try Trashing your Safari 6 and after a restart see if Software Update will download and install it.

Otherwise as Apple integrated it with Mountain Lion, it is no longer available for download from the Apple website or other sources so maybe a reinstall using the ML COMBO update may fix things???
