Golly, this is something that will really ease things up for those of us that lay out sites that need to be correctly visible in Safari on Mac OSX (which is every site, isn’t it? *cough*) A fellow named Chris Fuenty has released an alpha version of Swift, a Windows-based browser built around Apple’s WebKit, which powers Safari.

Have a look here.
