For those of you who think that Apple made webkit you are dead wrong. It is created and maintaned by the Konqueror browser team, the KDE Linux browser but now also available for other Unixes, Windows and Mac. Apple is shamelessly copying open source projects. Don't think that Apple made this people. Mac? For those of you who think that Apple made webkit you are dead wrong.

I've been running it for a few hours now without issue. Also, you know you can enable the incompatible extensions with the nightly tester tool, right? http://www.oxymoronical.com/web/firefox/nightly I've been using Web Developer, Adblock, Greasemonkey, Firebug, and a few other smallish extensions and they seem to be working just fine. I have a feeling there isn't going to be as big of an impact on extensions with this release. The APIs must not have been a huge focus of the 3.0 release or something.
