scores 74/100 on acid3 tho it looks worse than the 70/100 on latest FF3 minefield nightly, running sunspider benchmark right now

scores total: 3250.6ms compared to ~2500ms on latest FF3 minefield

Font rendering causes my eyes to bleed after 10 seconds of reading something and its in the menus as well, not ready for windows yet imo

Doesn't comply to vista's , stack windows or side by side command ... have to resize manually!

So they moved to the Gecko platform, does this mean that safari is firefox skinned and with the apple logo? :blink:
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.13

They didn't, I'll fix the title now.

I'll just install this 3.1 final build, and then the newest Webkit nightly overtop, for the ultimate rendering browser, ever!

Seriously, this browser smokes everything else now. I just wish it handled favorites/bookmarks better and had a few more features from Firefox then it would be perfect.

How on earth can you get used to something blurry? its not that they are diffrent , they are smeared some of them almost fade out

Well, I'm on a CRT so I don't know if that's why. But, I just got used to them. They aren't blurry to me at all, a little washed out a bit I suppose, but not blurry.

Personal choice. They just look slightly bolder to me, not blurry or anything. In fact, the FF rendering looks washed out and hurts my eyes.

That's how OS X renders fonts (though it looks a little bit worse in that picture; could just be this crappy Dell laptop screen I'm viewing it on). Most people agree that the way OS X handles font rendering is much better than ClearType. Fonts also look truer to their actual fontface. That's especially true with serif fonts, which seem to look like crap with ClearType.

Different forms of rendering, one snaps to the pixel grid, one keeps the form of the characters.

It's a personal choice, people used to the pixel snapping form will find the form keeping kind odd, etc.

Edit: And if it's really important to you, Safari can use the pixel snapping form if you set the font smoothing type to 4 (the UI only presents 3 options, so you'll need to change a config file)

Am I the only one who thinks there's nothing "elegant" about safaris interface? I personally think it looks terribly dated, worst looking application I have running here.

The Mac version of Safari is much better.

Nice suggestion to download latest webkit, check this out (Safari 3.1 + Webkit18-03-08) =

91/100 on acid 3

Go Safari. :laugh:

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • 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
