I was wondering if it would be possible for Webkit to see pages like this? The News section here won't load at all. I assume its because we old Leopard users don't have a recent enough Flash to go along with our Webkit, but I figured I'd, at least, ask.

Doesn't load in Safari either.. but it does load in the Firefox that works in Leopard.

In the web inspector error logs there is an entry that indicates that the server certificates (used for https connections, https://1.rp-api.com/ in this case) might need an update.
When trying to open https://1.rp-api.com/ you'll need to confirm that you trust in it's certificate. After confirming the news section on crooksandliars.com should load.

This webkit side by side with Safari on an iMac G5, loading different pages, some full with heavy animated gifs, other more simple like this here MU page ;-)
I loaded each page first in Webkit as it's supposed to be faster (and to avoid the possible cache effect, which should accelerater a second loading)
Well, 'this is not a revolution' ;-) but it's generally ab it faster than Safari, though Monitor Activity shows the same footprint.
It won't turn your G5 into an Intel Mac, but it's reliable, as far as I can tell, so why not use it? :-)
I don't know for sure but it might be considerably faster on dual G4, dual or quadruple G5 system.

1. I didn't found anyone to do the Snow Leopard build and testing, and I don't have access to any Intel Macs (Leopard WebKit is a project I run in my spare time).
2. Even if there was a Snow Leopard build of Leopard WebKit it wouldn't support WebKit2, which means that Safari would only work up to version 5.0 .

Kudos to the WebKit Team! I assumed there would never be a decent Safari for PPC and yet, here it is! It is faster and better in so many ways, than the last FireFox for PPC and even Casino!
The last version stalled and beachballed constantly. It would take 2 or 3 solid minutes just to Open the app and then it would beachball for 30 seconds to a minute every time I opened a new Window. It totally sucked... big time.
And now these very generous folks have given my old doddering G5 a new lease on life!
Highly Recomended!!!
Thanx!!!

Every time I start it up, I get this:
"A new nightly build of WebKit is available! Please take a moment to update to it before continuing your testing."
There is no new build for PPC available. Could we make that go away, please?

I'm only using the app, for the time being, needs to try this as properly installed on my test-partition...
But at least, for the app, you can go safe.
If you hope to have a better video experience, don't hope too much as problems are generally related to Flash...

Installing is optional and also experimental. It however has the benefit of using less memory, because applications that use the installed WebKit frameworks will share one copy of it. For me installing works quite well ususally, although there seems to be an issue with quicklook crashing for Microsoft Office documents.

On my test partition where I installed it, it looks like working fluently...
But from time to time it can break some things as well.
