Safari does not use the GIF decoder in the WebKit tree, but rather uses
CoreGraphics.

Other ports, such as Chromium and the Cairo port, do use the GIF decoder in
the tree.  I'm not sure we've ever compared against libgif.  I don't know
what its performance, compatibility and security characteristics are.

[webkit-dev] about WebKit Gif decoder

2009-03-28 Thread haithem rahmani 
Hi all,

I noticed that webKit implements its own Gif decoder and doesn't use the
extrenal library libgif.

can any body explain me why? is that for performance reasons? i.e the WebKit
current decoder is faster than the giflib one?

regards.

haithem.
