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:

Edited by EL1TE
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.

Ok, i tough is was Gecko because it's pretty similar to Firefox. FAIL :laugh:

I know Safari is multi-platform, but the link is for Windows only. :-/

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

uh, guys Acid3 isn't a performance test in case you didn't know, most of the code on acid3 isn't being used on websites, it will be in a little while, acid3 is a webstandard test .

http://webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html <-- this is a javascript performance benchmark tho it seems webkit are having load issues.

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.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
