Swift: WebKit-based browser for windows

Posted on | August 8, 2006 | No Comments

Swift is a Windows-browser based on the WebKit rendering-engine used in Apple’s Safari. the idea is basically to give Windows-based web-developers a comfortable way to write cross-platform-compatible HTML, CSS & JavaScript. however, the current alpha-release of Swift isn’t mature enough to replace native testing on Safari: form-elements aren’t supported completely, pages render slightly different than on Safari, and the app seems to have a tendency to crash on complex documents. Windows-developers should keep an eye on Swift’s evolvement, a stable release could ease their lives consideably.
