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

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'.

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."
