EDIT1: I will update you with what version I have.

EDIT2: Getting 90 with Version 3.0.4 (523.15)

Seems it is an older version than yours. How do you get version 3.1?

I happened to go to Wikipedia's Safari page and checked out the Win32 portion, and saw the 3.1 stuff, and the references on the bottom of the page had two links to 3.1 builds there.

What you do is unzip the webkit nightly and then open the run-nightly-webkit application. It will update automatically then!

Anyways... I updated you with my version and I am getting 90/100!

Yeah, I figured that out, updated it for me (and ran Safari with a terminal window, spooky!) and Safari runs faster than the original 3.1 build! Amazing. I think Safari will be my default browser when it hits 3.1 final.

Ahh ok. Even I might keep it my default browser. It runs really fast on Windows Vista.

Any idea on how to save the tabs or create sessions?

Here's the link just in case it gets edited out.

Will try this one right now.

Nice. But the browser crashes if the preference box is opened. :/

It saves everything you were looking at when it closes (or crashes in the case of the Windows version), when you start it back up there's a "Reopen all windows from last session" menu item in the History menu.

And running WebKit is a temporary thing, if you quit and start it up as normal you will be running the normal WebKit version.

who cares about Acid anyways... Only developers should be "worry" about...

In the end we "see" what the developers code so, at least in a lesser level, we all should care. The most browsers that are standard compliant the faster the developers can adopt new techologies that we are going to enjoy.

Yes. Mine also sometimes crashes when it closes and thanks... I found the reopen all windows item in the history menu.

What do you mean by if you quit and start it up as normal you will be running the normal webkit version? How do I run it as normal in the first place?

Through the normal shortcuts, It only loads the new engine if you run it via the "run-nightly-webkit" app.

Damn. Is there a work around this to make it run through the shortcut on the desktop? and not always through the run-nightly-webkit...

Also when running the run-nightly-webkit... it still says it is the old build in the about?

I'd just change the shortcut to use the run-nightly-webkit app.

Version numbers and Safari/WebKit is kinda odd, normal Safari on my PC is "3.0.4 (523.15)", on my Mac (latest nightly) it's "3.0.4 (5523.15)", It's it's 5000 higher than released version, which isn't right.

It's nice to see that firefox is making daily progress.... Will any browser get 100/100.... since not all the requirements may be for the best.... just a guess.

Sure web browsers will hit 100/100, It's just testing compliance with the specifications (and people want them to implement the specifications)

A proper (X)HTML+SMIL profile implementation gets rid of all those JS animation frameworks.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
