Bing is added to search engines list. Better alternative then Yahoo.

I'm hoping there will be some additional customisability of the search box, I want to use google.com.au, not google.com, and I'd really prefer not to install more Safari addons (had some issues with memory leaks in the past).

Been a year since the last major Safari release, so the timing seems right.

How does the XSS Auditor work?

phoboslab• 16 years ago

I can't think of a reliable way to filter out "malicious" code without also having many false positives.

Without having seen their solution, I feel that the browser is the wrong place to fix this kind of problem anyway. Much like PHP tried to prevent SQL Injection Attacks with "Magic Quotes" - we all know how that went.

This is not about the browser "fixing" the issue, but rather helping developers find the issues in the first place.

"...will apparently include a Reader functionality that will make web page reading easier by extracting and organizing the text."

Hrm. Sounds a lot like Instapaper.

Or Readability; http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

Or my project which was based off of readability:

Great!

When I read there was support for "HTML5 Ruby" I thought, can it be? There's an HTML5 spec that calls for implementing Ruby in the browser?

Sadly, no: http://www.quackit.com/html_5/tags/html_ruby_tag.cfm

Though not HTML5, it is possible to script Ruby browser-side in IE, Firefox and Safari: http://www.rubyinside.com/ironruby-silverlight-ruby-in-brows...

Well.. sort of ;-)

It is for East Asian language support, though, which may have an indirect connection to Ruby, the language, since it's from Japan.

I hope the reader mode uses TeX for formatting or equivalent, getting tired of nasty print as more and more stuff goes digital.

elblanco• 16 years ago

I'd be real interested in their method for finding only the content of a page for "reading". Is it a custom template for most major sites or something smarter?

avk• 16 years ago

Thrilled about the innovation the new browser wars are bringing. Only great things for end users!

enterneo• 16 years ago

I hope they bring back the blue progress bar.

How much of this list is currently present in the nightly build of Webkit?

cubicle67• 16 years ago

Aside: I discovered only last week that all the nice developer tools in Safari are also available in Arora, a Webkit based browser for Linux

jsz0• 16 years ago

None of the UI stuff but the JS improvements are there. About the same speed as Chrome (so about 30-40% faster than Safari 4 according to the SunSpider benchmark)
