New browsers

Some recent browser releases:

• Mozilla has released 1.3 Alpha and 1.02.
• Opera has released 7 for Windows Beta 2.
• Apple has released Safari Beta 2.

For web developers, the last one is of particular note as Safari will presumably be making its way on to all new Apple machines. Safari is based on the Konqueror rendering engine which, if you’re anything like me, you won’t have been fussing over; concentrating instead on Mozilla, IE and occasionally Opera.

As usual Mark Pilgrim has got in there first and given Safari a once over. So far the rendering seems a tad buggy but it is only a beta release, and appears to be going in the right direction. It still gives us another browser to worry about though – let’s pray they get it right first time.

The snow continues unabated (like I said this is rare for Central London, despite being on a similar latitude to Moscow).
