Is anyone else using the Webkit Nightlies instead of "regular" Safari on their Mac's running OS X Mountain Lion?
I do for the one simple reason that I feel Safari development, as pretty much all of Apple's software development is moving like a turtle. They are way to defensive with the software updates as of late, it seems like they almost have to test their software to death before they actually release it to the public.
That's not all that bad, but technology and software development moves at blazing speeds these days and Apple's software department struggles to keep up, where is the new iWork Suite for instance? The only thing that seems to get regular updates is OS X itself, but it's mostly iOS-ish related features which tends to not get tested enough before released (oh the irony!).
I still love Apple's Mac OS X system though, but their software has been lacking as of late so I have mostly stopped using Apple's own software. But since Google is making a real mess with their privacy policy with Chrome and their other services I have decided to stop using any of their services until they get their focus straight. I don't like the latest versions of FireFox at all which have brought me to start using WebKit Nightlies and I enjoy them quite a lot.
My only real issue with WebKit Nightlies is the need for manually downloading new Nightlies and unpack them about every freaking day... I've heard about NightShift which was supposed to auto-update WebKit Nightlies for you, but it seems to be discontinued and not supported.
Does anyone else here use the WebKit Nightlies and have some sort of decent way to keep it up to date?
