so i've downloaded the webkit nightly to see if these claims of speed are true, i couldn't believe there would be much difference over my already quick FF and IE7 browsing... i was wrong.

there is some serious rendering going on there, lightning quick.

Webkit latest nightly now scores 93 on Acid 3

Which is due to a change on the test.

The test, tested for something which no browsers do, and wasn't written anywhere (not in any standard), so they've decided to standardise on the current practice.

It was in there since the beggining? Because some days ago Webkit droped from 90 to 88 misteriously but it bounced back with the next nightly and it has been increasing its score steadily since then.

It would have been there from the beginning, But it would only account for 1 point.

There's a bug or two in WebKit which cause some tests to fail (and possibly crash sometimes) depending on the timing, the best way to test (in any browser) is to load up the test, then refresh, so all the required content is loaded out of the cache.

I'm using the latest webkit nightly with safari 3.1 frontend. As advertised, it does get 95/100 (not that I doubted it). Awesome job!! I've decided to start using safari 3.1/webit as part of my Windows webdevelopment testbed. Previously I only tested in Firefox, Opera and IE. I'm definitely gonna give more priority to Webkit now.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
