SI why did you closed this: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry589276933 ?

I've posted this as a Windows update, i didn't know the Mac Safari was on the same version, actually i've think it was on a bigger number version. Maybe you should fixed the title to "Safari 3.1 Final for Windows" and the other thread to "Safari 3.1 Mac", at least users will have a thread to discuss about both versions, since Windows is not the same as Mac, which means that even the same version can have bugs in one and not in the other. :blink:

Wait, what?

Did I read that right? Gecko based?

My bad, sorry. :wall:

eh? Firefox IS Gecko, Safari IS Gecko too, the "engine" is not Firefox but Gecko, and it's not hard to see that Safari IS Gecko, all is similar to Firefox, even when Apple try to "hide" what is the engine of Safari <.<

Safari uses the WebKit engine. The other thread was closed because this one already existed and Safari is multi-platform.

For some reason by version of Safari 3.1 goes to 53 out of 100 and crashes. But I'm on a mac. :blink:

You need to use the WebKit nightly in conjunction with Safari 3.1 to get the higher score on Acid 3.

Then add a link to the Mac version. :p If you wanted a Windows-only discussion maybe you should have posted this in one of the Windows theads. :p

Running the SunSpider Benchmark I get the following results:

  • Safari 3.1 final: Total: 6403.8ms +/- 3.7%
  • WebKit nightly: Total: 3558.6ms +/- 0.3%
  • Firefox 3.0b5pre: Total: 3520.0ms +/- 0.5%

Benchmarked on iMac 20", 2.0 GHz Core2Duo, 2 GB RAM.

Safari is a welcome addition to all the browser available. I prefer it to opera. Sometimes my connection is very slow (because of the ISP, or some websites). Safari handle this situation better than other browsers. Otherwise I surf usually with Firefox, when connection is "normal".

When i go to 'About', it says the same build number as the official 3.1 release (5525.13) - Running the latest webkit nightly

Yup, it will do. Thats the build number of Safari itself. The actual WebKit engine though is different in the nightlies. In effect, running the WebKit nightly uses the currently installed Safari build as the front end GUI but with the newer more up-to-date WebKit engine.

Do any of you know the software that automatically installs the latest webkit nightly?

If you are on Windows, all you have to do is run the run-nightly-webkit.cmd file once you copy all the files and folders to your Safari directory. It then installs the updated files and runs the browser (and a terminal window, which you can safely close once the browser opens)

Has the memory improved?

Well, I've got 7 tabs open right now in Safari, and it is using approx. 50 megs of memory.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.

      I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
