More on Opera for iPhone

Mark Hattersley from MacWorld shares his thoughts about Opera for iPhone so far. Read the full entry here.

“Those familiar with Opera for Mobile will be aware that this is because of highly optimised code taking place away from the browser on Opera’s servers. Instead of contacting a server directly you are sending a request to the Opera server, which optimises the web site and pushes a compressed version to the iPhone.

[…]

t’s a fairly round specced browser as well. It has tabs (highly visual ones at the bottom of the screen) and passwords, bookmarks, and all the usual features. Like Safari on the iPhone you can zoom in automatically to text columns. But deep down it’s the speed that matters.

We note that the app we’re shown is marked Opera 5 Beta 2, and Opera has clearly been down this route before.”

Firefox 3.7/4.0 Alpha Available for Testing

From Mozilla.org: (via Neowin)

“Gecko 1.9.3 Alpha 1 introduces several new features which can be tested by using this Mozilla Developer Preview. Many of these features are still in development, and while they will likely appear in some future version of Mozilla Firefox, some may be in earlier versions than others.

- Support for CSS Transitions. This support is not quite complete: support for animation of transforms and gradients has not yet been implemented;

- Support for SMIL Animation in SVG. Support for animating some SVG attributes is still under development and the animateMotion element isn’t supported yet;

- Support for WebGL, which is disabled by default but can be enabled by changing a preference;

- Support for the getClientRects and getBoundingClientRect methods on Range objects. See bug 396392 for details;

- Support for the setCapture and releaseCapture methods on DOM elements

- Support for the HTML5 History.pushState() and History.replaceState() methods and the popstate event;

- Support for the -moz-image-rect() value for background-image.

We rewrote major parts of the code for handling scrolling.

We made various architectural changes to improve Web page performance.”
