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:

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
