Ramp up your testing for Safari/Webkit

development

Do you test in Safari with the same priority as other browsers? If not, you might should start making it a part of your routine. According to an article on Rob Pegoraro’s Faster Forward blog, Google’s new mobile OS, Android, contains a browser “built on the same open-source WebKit software as the Safari browser in Mac OS X and the iPhone.”

If Google can accomplish what they hope to with Android, namely, to be the mobile operating system, then developers will have yet another target browser to test for. I’m not complaining, though, Safari/Webkit is a great browser. And, as long as it maintains good adherence to web standards the additional testing only serves to better our web applications.
