You are not logged in. (Safari 3 for Windows
I’m working on a new PHP project temporarily nicknamed Cobalt, and have just been messing about with the layout in IE and Firefox. For fairness, I also downloaded and installed the new Safari 3 for Windows and tested it in that.
Suffice to say, apologies to Safari users, but Cobalt’s going to look terrible in Safari. They’ve done something really weird and despite 15 minutes of messing about with one header I still can’t get it to work properly with all three browsers.
To be fair, fonts look a lot nicer and are more readable in Safari, but it doesn’t quite seem as standards-compliant as it claims to be.
Anyone else tried this thing? Looks like the speed claims have also been exaggerated as the content for the Apple homepage loads faster in Firefox.
EDIT: It’s still not as bad as Internet Explorer

Safari uses the same engine as the K browser in KDE, which should be fairly standards compliant! I have no idea about any of this stuff though, so carry on…
Was the apple homepage cached in FF so it loaded faster? Just a thought.
I did try it, but missed all my extensions. I’m quite happy with FF as it is.

Nope, I’d never visited the Apple start page before so it shouldn’t have been cached. I’m not the only one who doesn’t believe the performance claims though…

Actually, I just remembered the *real* reason I stick with FF…
