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 [...]
A Webkit a Day

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 [...]

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 [...]

Neat Firefox plugin that attaches scripts to specific websites.
Opera With Maps
