I believe it's quite good. Believe is the best I can offer never having personally tested it. I did work with a safari user sending them specific test cases designed to torture it hard (and some XiphQT bugs were fixed in the process) and at this point it sounds pretty good. What I have not stressed is any of the JS API. I know it seeks, I have no clue how well, etc. There is also an apple webkit developer who is friendly and helpful at getting things fixed whom we work with if we do encounter bugs... but more testing is really needed. Safari users wanted. As far as the 'soft push' ... I'm generally not a big fan of one-shot completely dismissible nags: Too often I click past something only to realize shortly thereafter that I really should have clicked on it. I'd prefer something that did a significant (alert-level) nag *once* but perpetually included a polite "Upgrade your Video" button below (above?) the fallback video window. There is only a short period of time remaining where a singular browser recommendation can be done fairly and neutrally. Chrome and Opera will ship production versions and then there will be options. Choices are bad for usability. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
