Chrome only please. Neat 5-minute time waster. # § Browsers, chrome, Javascript, Physics
Actually, the non-block. David Carson's post Android uses WebKit, reveals one reason why Safari 3 appears so much faster than the previous version: they simply don't block rendering while waiting for resources that traditionally block other browsers. Current browser implementations normally block rendering while waiting to download stylesheets and external javascript as evidenced in the recommendations made by Steve Souders in his book High Performance Websites. Animated events especially highlight new efficiencies in their Javascript implementation. Slide effects or animation on the page are butter-smooth compared to other browsers. They feel almost client-like. Safari 3 is such a marked improvement, I use it as my daily browser in OSX, supplanting Opera, which is a real shame since I'm one of only a handful of people who actually use Opera at the day job. Installing Adsubtract and GreaseKit help to round out some missing features due to the move. # § android, Browsers, Google, Safari
I keep up with "WebKit":http://www.webkit.org builds an a daily basis and have noticed a marked upturn in their release schedule. For the past three months or so, I would normally see an updated build roughly every five days (I'm completely guesstimating here from memory). For the past four or five days, I have seen a build every single day, which could be a signal of an imminent announcement of a Leopard release *any day now*. Who the hell knows? But it's fun to speculate on completely half-assed information. # § Apple, Browsers, OSX, Webkit
VIM interface to Firefox. More power to you, but this gets tagged too much of a good thing. # § Browsers, Plugins, text-editors, Too_Much_of_a_good_thing, Uncategorized
Awesome idea, just wish it was generic so you could embed any browser, not just Moz. # § Browsers, Cool, Stealth, Uncategorized, Workplace

The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet has Opera as the built-in browser. Nice minimal design. Me likey. # § Browsers, Electronics, Opera

I hadn't noticed before, but Opera 8 Beta 3 now has "Greasemonkey":http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org like functionality with the addition of "user javascript":http://my.opera.com/hallvors/journal/44. I'm not sure which came out first, but I guess it really doesn't matter. The irony is that I'm trying to write a greasemonkey script that makes Firefox behave more like Opera, and not the other way around. # § Browsers
Neat Firefox plugin that attaches scripts to specific websites. # § Browsers
Great googly moogly! Google Maps now works with Opera. And because Opera has the fastest freaking javascript engine on the planet ("benchmark":http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/benchjs/benchjs.html and "try it yourself":http://maps.google.com), my only waiting time is for downloading the image tiles that make up the actual map page. # § Browsers, Google, Opera
