Apple hit us with Safari 3.2 yesterday. So far, I'm not excited. It gets only 75/100 on Acid3 - with a few long pauses. And on other sites, I've found it to be slower than Safari 3.1. The speed difference is really bad, if you compare it with WebKit.
<rant> WebKit, the underbelly of Safari, got 100/100 on Acid3 back in late March 2008. Then Apple shipped Safari 3.1 using an OLDER WebKit, that got only 75/100. Months and two releases later, the WebKit in Safari was not updated! Aro 25 Sept, WebKit fully passed Acid3, with 100/100 *and* smooth animation. So here we are TWO MONTHS after THAT, and Apple has hit us with Safari 3.2... which is built upon that same now ancient version of WebKit - so old it STILL only gets 75/100 on Acid3! Add to that the performance issues... Is this a trend? Apple being LATE providing updates that matter... We saw this with them taking two months to fix the hole in ARDAgent. Then again, months late with the DNS cache poisoning fix. And now Safari... I'm thinking this is going to get worse. Apple is making us fall behind the curve, etc. What can we do to address this? Oh, nice. Safari just crashed loading an eBay page. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
