hi guys
i need help of installation of safari on ubuntu 9.10
Did you try installing Safari for Windows on Linux using wine? ( i
havent tried it yet).
Konquerer (KDE) and Google - Chrome For Linux (beta) use the same
rendering engine as Safari (WebKit). So you won't miss Apple Safari
much.
But, if you are looking for Safari for benchmarking your application
on how it works in each browser, let me share my experience. We made
our application work on Safari 4 on Windows. But, when some one tried
to use it in Safari for Macintosh, it was a total catastrophe. It
worked well on FireFox for Mac. We had to literally go out of our way
to ask sorry and asked the user to wait for a few more days to make it
work correctly on Mac/Safari.
One good learning was that, if your application is W3C standards
complaint, it might mostly work correctly. But, I wouldnt say that
about Javascript, CSS and Strictness checking.
