To clarify, Webkit is the same engine which runs Safari, Chrome and a
number of other browsers. What folks are refering to here is getting the
Webkit 'daily build'. This is the latest webkit with all the known fixes
as of the last 24 hours. While this seems to fix a number of problems
that show up as bad behavior with Voiceover, the Webkit daily also has
all the latest unknown on unresolved bugs. Once things reach a nice
stable point of quality then Apple will grab a copy and integrate it
into the official Safari release. So official Safari will always lag the
webkit daily releases but should be more stable. Chome does something
similar with their "release", "beta", "dev" and "canary" versions where
canary is like the webkit daily including all the latest fixes, features
AND bugs.

Yes, Webkit shows up in the doc as Webkit, but when you open it, the toolbar
says that it is Safari. Remember that Webkit is the browser engine that Apple
uses for their version of Safari, so as far as I can
tell, they are one and the same. By using Webkit itself I think that you just
get a more recent version, and I believe that Webkit is a more stripped down
version of Safari. I could be wrong on that one, if someone else has a better
explanation of Webkit I would like to here it.

You can get Webkit at http://www.webkit.org You can have it download the
nightly builds automatically but I prefer to do it manually. Just a personal
preference on my part.

Where do you go to download webkit? And are updates automatic? Or do you
have to redownload them each day.

Hello, I am a new Mac user and I have ben having a very irritating problem
with Safari. Whenever I hit a key on my keyboard to move the Voice Over
cursor down the page Safari keeps saying "Safari Busy". It makes finding
what I am looking for on a particular web page very difficult.
I have downloaded todays build of Webkit and I am still having the
problem. If there is anyone out there that has any suggestions that could
help me to resolve this I would greatly appreciate it.
