Keep Your Hands Off My Fucking Browser

David Kaneda:

What’s New in Lion’s Safari →

A few interesting items from a development point of view:1

  1. Not only does the browser go full screen, but there will be a JavaScript API for doing so
  2. The mention caching audio/video in an HTML5 application cache — does this just mean the cache is larger than before?
  3. “New process architecture” and Sandboxing — ie. WebKit 2
  4. CSS3 auto-hyphenation
  5. WOFF support

Numbers two through four are good.

Number one?

Fucking terrible. I already hate the idea of fullscreen windows, but when I get to choose not to use them, it’s fine. Fullscreen windows that obnoxious webdevs can control? That has to be one of the worst ideas I have come across in a long time.


  1. Kaneda’s original list was unordered bullets; I numbered the items.
