Safari Code Benefiting Open Source Community

Posted by pudge on from the apple-is-wonderful-and-good dept.

KDE adds Safari feel to desktop Linux: The Konqueror Web browser, which shares its basic engine with Apple's Safari, has benefited from Apple's Safari work, KDE said. Konqueror now loads and renders more quickly and has better support for Web standards. One of Apple's major efforts with Safari has been to encourage users to report sites that don't work properly with the browser, in order to improve compatibility."

  1. KDE 3.2 by Kethinov · · Score: 2, Funny

    I recently installed KDE 3.2 in my Gentoo box and I have found that Konqueror was one of the greatest improvements done to KDE compared to 3.1.x. I really hate corporations and Apple is indeed a corporation. But as far as corporations go, I've always said that Apple is the corporation I hate the least. :)
