Looks like I can finally retire resource-hungry Firefox soon,
if developer news about the new version of Safari is accurate.
People currently testing Webkit, or the new iteration of Apple
's own browser, are finding that the developer build currently being seeded and
tested is already 2.5 times faster than the current Safari re
lease - and that is still in it's unoptimized state!
If this is any indication, the speed boost of the forthcoming Safari will be co
nsiderable. Computerworld has more details on the speed boost and the new featu
res here.
Don't take my word for it, but it also seems that Webkit is safe enough to test
on your own system. If you want to, download the 15.8mb dmg file (it bloats to
62mb when expanded) of the unoptimized WebKit Build r30090 here; later you can get whatever nightly build is available through the Webkit ope
ning page.
Been trying it out myself, and dang, it's fast.
Faster Safari

I've seen it. I will try it. I know its fast...
Might as well improve my browser and save my time browsing the net..

this is exciting. though surprisingly, ive not have any problems with my Safari
really. it uploads pretty good with me. Firefox is also good with me, but i us
e it as a back-up so that i dont have to log out of my accounts, or use it to c
heck my aunt's email when she asks me to, or use it as a back-up to open sites
that doesnt work good with my Safari.
