Even if someone were to port webkit to SM, I can't imagine you breaking with FF and actually competing with it on features. This has nothing at all to do with WebKit, as WebKit is no JS engine, also Gecko is no JS engine. This is about things like V8 vs. SpiderMonkey vs. TraceMonkey vs. whatever.

And as more applications are written in JS I suppose rendering is evolving into application program execution instead. Based on some minimal testing by friends (I have neither Mac nor Windows) and a little of my own (running Chrome under WINE) I have to say that the figures of 3x faster seem to be at least in the ballpark correct, and browsers based on the Webkit code seem to benefit. NoScript will yield *really* fast rendering speeds. (Most of what is served via .js is crap.) Only when Chrome has extensions (first and foremost: AdBlock) does it becomes a player. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
