Keep an eye on the latest Safari news Web Browsers
I just posted this as a link, but felt it worth mentioning as a hint as well. Dave Hyatt, who works for Apple on the open source WebCore portion of Safari, has a Surfin' Safari weblog online with all sorts of great Safari tidbits! You can read how they've fixed the CSS1 test suite rendering failure, sped up Flash animation, and other neat informational tidbits.

The site is only a week old (of course!), but there's already some great content there. Based on the published notes, it seems that the next rev of Safari will have even more bug fixes and neat features. Keep it up, Dave!

Not new

Actually, it's not new. Used to be called "Confessions of a Mozillian", reflecting previous interests of the author ;-)

Not new ?

Well, I'm pretty sure it's new as "Surfin' Safari" ;-). Thanks for the clarification!

Surfin' Safari Censored?
Authored by: JMTee on Jan 14, '03 03:18:05PM

Dave Wyatt's blog is excellent read, but last Saturday, 11th Jan, there was something curious going on. First Wyatt posted a long writing about the reasons why Apple chose KHTML over Gecko. This posting then very soon disappeared from the site without any explanation. By chance I had the posting cached, so you can read the contents (and some excerpts) of it from my weblog at

Surfin' Safari Censored?

I've removed direct quotations from the 'missing posting' from my weblog, since Hyatt has promised to repost the whole piece in 'a week or two'.

Surfin' Safari Censored?
Authored by: MaxMarino on Jan 15, '03 05:46:35AM

One Mozilla staff member called KHTML selection an understandable if not foregone conclusion, given Mozilla's technical problems. Fom a C|Net article:

"I guess I'm supposed to be mortally offended--or at least embarrassed--that they went with KHTML instead of our Gecko engine, but I'm having trouble working up the indignation," wrote Mike Shaver in a Web log posting . "We've all known forever that Gecko missed its 'small-and-lean' target by an area code, and we've been slogging back towards the goal, dragging our profilers and benchmarks behind us, for years."

Use the BUG button instead ...
Authored by: robg on Jan 14, '03 06:12:26PM

Apple may call it a bug button ... I call it a feature request button!

Same here, been using it for sending requests too. You can also use NetNewsWire Lite. Just drag & drop the RSS link to the subscription pane. Like SlashDock, it'll also put unread news on the dock. Or you can read them right on NetNewsWire Lite.
