در این مقاله کوتاه می خوام که شما رو با تعدادی از ویژگی های استاندارد CSS 3 آشنا کنم. کار بر روی استاندارد CSS 3 از سال 2002 شروع شد، یعنی نزدیک به یک سال از زمانی که پرونده CSS 2.1 بسته شد. کار بر روی این استاندارد هنوز به پایان نردسیده و شاید تا یک یا دو سال آینده هم به طول بکشه ولی با این حال بسیاری از موارد این استاندارد تکمیل شده ...

Another day, another browser. Stainless was released by Mesa Dynamics as a proof of concept. The concept? A working, less ambitious version of Google’s Chrome browser. According to the Stainless website, it is available (for free) now simply because the project is less ambitious than the eventual version of Chrome on the Mac. Besides the fact that it doesn’t have all the robust backend features Chrome will eventually have on its Mac version, from an ...

Filed under: Internet, Internet ToolsThe Omni Group has released version 5.8 of OmniWeb, its venerable browser software. OmniWeb 5.8 is now based on the same version of Webkit as Safari 3.1.x. It also fixes bugs with Spaces, and adds support for non-POSIX file URLs. Users can also choose Google Chrome in the list of user-agent strings. Full release notes are also available. OmniWeb 5.8 is available from Omni's website, and works with Mac OS X ...

WebKit, the rendering engine that powers browsers Safari and Chrome, among others, says it has passed all three stages of the ACID 3 test. The test checks how well a browser supports JavaScript and the Document Object Model (DOM), as well as a few other treats, like SVG graphics. You can check your browser here. Opera and WebKit passed the first two stages of the ACID 3 test shortly after its release in March. These ...

Il recente Google Chrome, il browser basato su Webkit che la Grande G ha rilasciato nelle scorse settimane, fa uso di un interprete Javascript (chiamato V8) che per ora pare essere il più veloce disponibile per un browser. Per ora, perché secondo il team di sviluppo al lavoro su Webkit per Safari quando sarà ufficialmente rilasciata la nuova versione basata sull’interprete Squirrelfish avremo prestazioni da favola anche sul browser ufficiale del Mac. Per Chrome su ...

Quite a while ago Opera updated their JavaScript engine. Then Firefox and Webkit (Safari) did that, after that Google Chrome and Firefox again, and now… Webkit’s (Safari) turn, introducing SquirrelFish Extreme. So how fast is it? As this graph shows, it’s more than 2 times faster than the original SquirrelFish, an engine which was announced not so long time ago. (more…)

Are you a Mac user with Google Chrome envy? You really shouldn’t be, especially now that the latest builds of WebKit use a ridiculously fast Javascript engine called SquirrelFish Extreme. The new engine, conveniently shortened to SFE, is actually faster than Chrome Javascript engine, V8. (It’s actually faster than the version of V8 currently floating around SVN, which is faster than the version that’s found in Chrome.) Faster, more efficient Javascript processing improves the performance ...

Filed under: Internet, Internet ToolsEven though Google Chrome is still only available for Windows, its WebKit roots mean that Safari for Mac users might still get some extra perks. Gears, Google's web API that lets developers create applications that can run offline, is one of those perks. Previously, Gears was only available for Firefox on the Mac, and it certainly didn't feel like there was any priority in bringing Gears to Safari. Well, with Google's ...

Lifehacker links to an announcement that Google Gears is available for my-beloved Mac under the Safari platform.

Há algum tempo atrás a Mozilla Corp decidiu obrigar o Debian a parar de usar as brands Mozilla nos pacotes que distribui. O problema é que o Debian não quis aceitar o acordo de receber uma ‘licença’ especial para usar as marcas com a condição de que devia informar aos usuários que se modificassem o Firefox deveriam trocar o nome. O Debian normalmente não aceita tratamento especial, portanto acabou trocando o nome do Firefox pra ...

Увидел ссылку на этот текст тут в новых. Очень понравился, жаль, что ссылка не вышла на главную. Поэтому решил сделать вольный перевод, постаравшись сохранить стиль повествования. В Начале был NCSA Mosaic, и назвал он себя NCSA_Mosaic/2.0 (Windows 3.1), и показал он пользователем картинки в тексте, и было много радости. И вот, пришёл новый браузер, «Mozilla», сокращение от «Mosaic Killer» — но не обрадовались бы такому в Mosaic, посему пришлось переименоваться в Netscape, а представляться как ...

Chrome, JavaScript, and Flash: Two (Mostly) Opposing Views the second comment closely follows a reason update on CounterNotions, Google Chrome: Bad news for Adobe.But a full-fledged browser. One that behaves, however, as a platform to host applications best tied to cloud computing with built-in local persistence for offline computing. Sure, in its current form Chrome can’t compete with Silverlight or Flex/AIR for what Adobe calls “expressiveness,” meme-speak for rich graphics, animations, integrated video and other ...

Filed under: Internet Tools, DeveloperAlthough Google's Chrome browser is currently only available to Windows users (unless you are running an Intel-based Mac and VMWare Fusion or Parallels), its WebKit underpinnings mean that Safari, and other WebKit-based browsers, can benefit from Google's code. One of the larger innovations of Google Chrome, the V8 JavaScript engine, is incredibly fast. The WebKit project has its own new JavaScript engine, SquirrelFish, used in Mobile Safari and the WebKit nightlies. ...

While the blogosphere has, understandably, been paying a lot of interest to one new web browser - Chrome, from Google - I've unexpectedly found myself paying a lot of attention to a different web browser: Opera Mini.Opera Mobile was, for several years, my mobile web browser of choice. Whichever smartphone was in my pocket - eg Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia... - I would download the latest Opera Mobile, and make heavy use of it.This changed ...

Il team Webkit è attualmente impegnato nell’integrazione delle patch inviate da Google successivamente alla presentazione di Chrome. Tra queste spiccano in particolare il motore JavaScript V8 e la libreria grafica Skia. Non tutte le patch verranno però applicate alla versione “classica” di WebKit: V8, per esempio, non prenderà il posto di SquirrelFish (l’attuale motore JS), visto che il nuovo arrivato funziona solo su CPU x86 a 32bit e ARM, mentre il secondo supporta un numero ...

Chrome因为脱胎于Google，因此一出现就受到了全世界的关注。甚至连央视的新闻30分也在Chrome发布当天进行了报道。Chrome的出现无疑会对浏览器的市场占有率分布产生很大的影响。我同意一种流行的说法，那就是Chrome吃掉的市场份额基本上都是来自Firefox的。 最近，许多知名博客都纷纷用Google Anaytics的数据来展示Chrome发布后的最初几天内的访问量分布。就我了解的结果显示，Chrome已经成为继IE，Firefox和Safari之后的第四大浏览器了。尽管Chrome的前景还很难说。不过我已经Dump掉使用了多年的Firefox，成了Chrome的长期用户——从我安装Chrome之后，我就一直用它做默认浏览器。为什么这么执着的抛弃Firefox转向Chrome呢？喜新厌旧么？也许是有点，但是更重要的是Webkit，Weibkit！即使Chrome并非出自Google门下，我也会支持它。 我的Chrome使用感觉 用了Chrome这几天，我来说说我的使用感觉吧。我不想对媒体的测评数据和艰涩的专业术语进行转引，说的完全是个人的使用感觉，可能比较偏颇——因为我也是铁杆G粉。 首先，最直观的就是Chrome超简约的用户界面，深深的吸引了我这个简约主义者。最赞的是其独特的状态栏设计，只在最需要的时候出现在浏览器窗口的左下角。整个界面，除了大大的阅读窗口之外，就只剩下标签和地址栏，这是除了全屏显示之外所能达到的最大阅读面积了，看网页非常舒服，注意力不会被浏览器界面元素所分散。 其次是其速度。FF3的页面解析速度已经很不错的，但是比起Chrome确实还有些差距。撇开那些令人咋舌的测评数据不看，Chrome的性能确实非常棒。另外，我的FF3的冷启动需要40+s，而Chrome不超过3秒。当然，你可以说FF启动慢和插件有关，不过FF启动慢是不容否认的事实。 最后，关于那个九宫格。应该说，我在用Opera的时候从不理那九宫格，而在Chrome中，我很乐于去点击九宫格。你可以说这是我对Google的盲目崇拜，但是事实就是，我用了，还用的不亦乐乎。 至于那些Safari中已经包含的界面效果，例如，可缩放的文本框，标签的拖拽效果等，我就不赘述了，相信使用过Safari的读者对这些并不觉得很新鲜。 另外，Chrome引入了一个备受争议的新特征——为每个标签使用一个独立的进程（其实IE 8 Beta 2也有同样的特征）。有进程洁癖和内存洁癖的人会觉得这样做太浪费系统资源了。也许，也许不。 事实上，如果你和我一样，平时不会同时开n个标签的话，你会发现这样的功能非常省资源。做个简单的算术吧。我通常同时开4个或更少的标签，每个标签占用的物理内存一般在30-60M，加上一个基本进程15-20M，这样的系统负载在135MB～260MB之间或更少。而Firefox冷启动后，立刻打开4个标签，内存占用在150MB-200MB之间。由于Chrome关闭标签会释放一个进程，因此，在长时间使用后，系统负载不会增加很多。而Firefox就不同了，随着时间的过去，Firefox的内存急剧膨胀，涨到500MB的物理内存占用并不是什么新鲜事儿。不过如果你经常开十几个或几十个标签页，那就是另外一个故事了。（增加内存，改变你的使用习惯，或别选择Chrome） 卡，卡，还是卡！ Chrome最初版本发布后，很多人注意到，那些带有Flash/WMP元素的页面打开的时候会非常非常卡，CPU占用100%，甚至导致对应的插件停止响应或直接标签页崩溃。不过在后来的一次升级之后，这种现象有了明显的改善——尽管现在又是还会无端的卡一下，但是至少可以看优酷了。 中国用户：“让我拿什么去选择你，Chrome！” Chrome一发布，很多人的第一个问题是：支持网银不？答案是残酷的，不！世界上只有一种浏览器支持所有网银，那就是Internet Explorer！ Firefox玩家的问题通常是：有扩展么？答案是没有。Chrome毕竟不是Firefox的克隆。 就中文支持来说，Chrome做的很不错——比Safari的第一个Beta要好的多得多。但是，看到“谷歌浏览器”这个名字，我实在是一点使用的欲望都没有了。所以，装上之后，我立刻把语言换成英文的了。 看起来，Chrome并没有什么能够吸引（除了G粉之外的）中国用户的地方了——中国就是这么特别。 好了，关于Chrome，我就想说这么多。至于那些隐身浏览之类的功能我就不提了，测评文章和评论文章多的是。Chrome目前毕竟还只是一个测试版，还有这样那样的Bug——比如无法点击VC的ED2K链接——但是相信这样的小Bug会很快修复的（FYI，那个在地址栏输入“:%”能导致浏览器崩溃的bug已经修复了哦！）。 我很看好Chrome，也希望Chrome能做的更好。期待Linux版和Mac版的Chrome也能早日发布！

Hace ya más de un año WebKit incluyó en su navegador un inspector web de lo más vistoso. El Firebug de WebKit se ha convertido en la mejor herramienta preferida por los desarrolladores a la hora de depurar y refinar sus diseños en Safari/WebKit (y ahora Google Chrome). Hoy anunciaban una serie de mejoras que podemos disfrutar en la última nighty versión. Propiedades DOM y variables local pueden editarse, por fin podremos alterar las propiedades ...

Leggi l'originale: Google, Chrome, WebKit, Apple e KDE pollice in alto!, su pollycoke :) Il rilascio del nuovissimo browser di Google, Chrome, ha provocato un piccolo piacevole brivido a tutta la blogosfera, me compreso. Beh a dire il vero, a leggere il fumettone1 che ne spiega tutte le caratteristiche ho provato una noia mortale: non facevano prima a fare anche una versione per chi riesce a leggere le novità in maniera tradizionale? ^^ A parte ...

Summary: JavaScript Benchmarks aren't adapting well to the rapid increase in JavaScript engine performance. I provide some simple tests for verifying this and propose a modified setup which could be used by all JavaScript Benchmarks to achieve high-quality results. There now exists three, what I would consider to be, major JavaScript performance benchmarks. Each are released by a major browser vendor. WebKit released SunSpider, Mozilla released Dromaeo, Google released the V8 Benchmark. Each suite has ...
