The *real* "Safari for Windows"

patrick — Mon, 2007-06-11 18:18

I seemed to be ok as long as I didn't connect to apple.com, unfortunately the default home page is http://www.apple.com/startpage/ & it would get the page about half loaded & then it seemed to shut down my network connect - even Firefox, IE, & Opera were unable to connect after Safari started.

Safari for Windows

patrick — Thu, 2006-08-31 15:39

I've been discussing the usage of multiple browsers for testing of CSS & JavaScript with several friends over the last several months. One of the issues has been trying to find a viable browser for Windows/Linux that will render web pages the same way that Safari on the Mac renders pages.

This used to be fairly simple... As long as you had access to a linux box that had KDE's Konqueror installed - Konqueror & Safari both used the KHTMLview rendering library. Then Apple decided to go it's own route & branched away from KHTMLview... so some things worked the same & others didn't. I'm not sure if anybody has a comprehensive list of the differences or if it's even worth it. Apple has named this new rendering library WebKit.
