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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
