Faster, Safari! Kill! Kill!

So you raise doubt on a claim not only without presenting any kind of evidence, but with wrong incorrect information. The speed claims are made by Webkit, the open source project that develops the engine the browser uses. If you read their blog you’d know that “Nitro” is actually SquirrelFish Extreme, and if you were an engineer and could read the actual source code and understand the benchmark speed test results you’d know that the speed improvements are very impressive. If you read the Apple press release you see that they mention the speed tests used to support their claim on.

You make a baseless claim with an undeserved air of indignation. You know some people actually contribute to making this world a better place by creating stuff. Some people work in teams and toil through months or years of labor and build products that enable others. The stark contrast are people that create nothing, but write and say empty things that contribute nothing.

Two things, Bjorn.

- Apple’s claims have not been independently verified, hence the caveat.

- The first sentence of the post says — explicitly — that I find the browser to be quite fast.

John, you can run the tests yourself. ReadWriteWeb did its test.
