Safari after Webkit




Safari after Webkit

Originally uploaded by Dan_Cameron.

I installed the webkit for Safari tonight. And the first thing I tried was the Acid2 test. You can see by the image to the right it passed with flying colors, actually not flying colors because I would describe all the other browsers as flying colors.

For all the people reading this and wanting to install the webkit, it’s too easy. Just follow the directions. After you install the webkit you will find you have to run a script through your terminal to start Safari, it’s in the directions. So instead of doing that every-time I want to start the Safari/Webkit I created an automator workflow. Here it goes: Open up Automator and the workflow goes like this; Automator > Run Shell Script > Script File, then select the run-safari script and save it as an application. Then all you need to do is drag that application to your dock and now you have the new Safari one click away.

    Like I said in the post the spell check plugin works so much better then the firefox spellbound.
  • Your method is infinitely easier than mine. Mine involved duplicating Safari, editing plists...

    Offtopic, where did you get the comment spell checker? I must steal it.
