WebKit is an open source web browser engine using version of the engine that’s used by Safari. WebKit’s HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE. This Safari tweaked browser optimize the web to parse the HTML to find elements that can be loaded in parallel with scripts rather than waiting for these elements. With this feature enabled, a web page fully loaded with javascript code loads almost as fast with 50 ms extra delay as it does without the extra delay and without the optimization.

The WebKit goals is maintaining and improving speed and memory use. As web content becomes richer and more complex, and as web browsers run on more limited devices, performance gains continue to have value even if normal browsing seems fast enough.

The run-safari script launches the Safari executable with the /frameworkPath command line switch set to point to your build products. The /debug command line switch will be set if you pass –debug to run-safari.
