My thoughts on Safari, at least in this article, are purely based on the application that surrounds the rendering engine. I knew about Webkit nightly builds since Apple branched off that development a few years ago. Having the very latest rendering engine isn't of too much use to me anymore. Though I am always happy to see a speed increase in how a web page is rendered in each new version of any browser - and Safari on Leopard is significantly faster than it was on Tiger, and it was faster on Tiger than any other browser. As far as speed is concerned; Safari wins by at least a few lengths. Chris Coleman: Agreed.

You won't see any added features aside from that sort of stuff. But to someone like you, that's certainly not insignificant.

Are there any major differences between the current version of Safari available on Leopard and the nightlies? Are some of the things I mentioned above addressed? I suppose I'll have to investigate! Thanks again. Steven: Thanks for the tip, and I have seen that there are nightly builds of Webkit but I didn’t know that Safari itself was being released as a nightly too?

They are available at http://webkit.org and I have been amazed at how stable and feature packed it is. You should check out the Nightly Builds of Safari. They are

I've really never given Safari a second look, but being that Safari3 sports a much newer version of WebKit, I might just give it a whirl.

It's great to be able to type "imdb whatever" and then search imdb, or whatever. It sucks because it is something that I do use several times a day for work, but the rest of Safari is so nice that I've made the switch. I went back to Safari at home when the Safari 3 beta came out. The only think I miss is the quick searches. It’s great to be able to type “imdb whatever” and then search imdb, or whatever.
