We finally have a new webkit (r36882 version to be specific) for the Apple Safari browser. What's so cool about this is that the browser with the new webkit(rendering engine) passes the stringent Acid3 rendering test of the Web Standards project with a whooping 100% scores in the Windows Platform!!

The nearest competition is the yet to be released Opera 9.6 which scores 96% for the Windows platform. Looks like Microsoft has a lot to catch up on this space - so is Google out-datedwebkit in use for Chrome.

In celebrating this news, WebKit's developers also have stated that the rendering time in the new engine takes only a third of a second on a 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro compared to the earlier engine. That's a 25% extra speed to browse the internet highway!!
