The next version of Webkit’s Web Inspector
I’m a big fan of Webkit. Although I had been a die hard fan of Safari for a while I’m now using Google Chrome as my primary browser. The great thing about Chrome is that it too uses the Webkit rendering engine. I’ll catalog my reasons for using Chrome in another post.

Why Google Chrome for Mac is important to get right
I’ve been playing with recent developer preview releases of Google Chrome for Mac and I got to thinking about how important it is for Google to get the Mac version of Chrome right. Not for Google, really. For us, the users.

Safari 4’s Full-page Zoom is impressive
After reading this review by Pierre Igot I gave Safari 4’s full-page zoom feature a spin. It is incredibly impressive. I wish the browser wars were not such a tight race right now so that choosing a browser wouldn’t be such a hard decision. (via John Gruber)
Glims for Safari
Glims for Safari is a input-manager hack (I think) that enables a few ‘nice to have’ features. First, it adds favicons to tabs. I am not sure about you, but the new tabs (when you have a lot of them) are really hard to tell one from another. This helps. It also does things like [...]

Dipped in Chrome
Google's approach here is interesting. This is the first real step towards making the Web the application, and the browser just the "thing" that loads it into view.

An excellent comparison of two Internet browsers.

An odd Safari mobile tab bug

Safari 3 on Leopard is almost as good as Camino
Kicking the tires on the latest build of Apple's browser has been fairly enjoyable so far. But there is just one more thing that I'd like to see.

Leopard wish list – Part three: iChat
Next to Mail and Safari, iChat is probably the application I have open the most. For an application that I use throughout the day, I have a hard time finding fault with it. But I can try...

Leopard wish list – Part two: Mail
Mail is one of the most used applications on the Mac OS. As such it sometimes is subject to more scrutiny than other applications. I take a light-approach with this wish list, though some of the up-coming features of Leopard Mail do not look enticing to me.
