ISafari, i-quintessential browser on Mac, igubha iminyaka eyishumi nantathu kusukela yethulwa ngo-2003

Akusekho futhi kungaphansi kweminyaka eyishumi nantathu kusukela uSteve Jobs ethulwa eMacWorld eSan Francisco emuva ngo-2003, isiphequluli esizenzakalelayo esasihambisana nohlelo lwe-OS X ngesikhathi sezinguqulo zalo ezilandelanayo. Sikhuluma ngempumelelo ngeSafari, isiphequluli esaziwayo iningi labasebenzisi beMac abalisebenzisela ukwenza izinto ezihlukahlukene, ukuhlanganiswa kwe- ukuthinta kokuthinta okuningi, isivinini nokuthi nangamaphutha ayo, ngisacabanga ukuthi kuyindlela elinganiselayo kunazo zonke ekhuluma njalo ngaphakathi kwe-OS X.

Ukuvela kweSafari kungenzeka kufike sekwedlule isikhathi ukuthi kube yisethenjwa emlandweni wokuthuthukiswa kwezinga le-HTML, lapho iMicrosoft ne- iNetscape manje engasasebenzi okuzodala ukuthi iveze iFirefox, uma beyokwenza uphawu lwabo kusenesikhathi.

Noma kunjalo, ngokwamazwi kaJobs uqobo ngesikhathi sethulwa, wathi uSafari uzoba njalo isiphequluli sokuqala konke okusha kakhulu eminyakeni. Ngokwengxenye wayeqinisile njengenjini eyingqayizivele ebizwa ngeWebhuCore (ngokususelwa ku-KHTML, iphrojekthi yomthombo ovulekile) yathuthukiswa eyayizoncintisana ne-Microsoft's Trident neMozilla's Gecko.

Lokhu bekusho ukuthi i-Apple ibheja ngamazinga wewebhu avulekile esikhundleni sezandiso ezizimele ezisekelwa yiMicrosoft, okungukuthi, i-Apple yakha ipulatifomu ezosebenza ngokuzinza kakhulu kubathuthukisi bewebhu futhi ngalokhu bakuthola ukuthi ngo-2008, iSafari yaba yisiphequluli sokuqala nge injini yeWebKit edlulile ukuhlolwa kwe-Acid3 ngokuphelele ebheke ukuhambisana kwesiphequluli ngawo wonke amazinga wewebhu.

Futhi ngaleso sikhathi futhi isekele i-HTML5 njengezinga eliqhathaniswa ne-Adobe Flash lapho abanye abancintisana nabo bengazange bacabangele le nketho futhi okuthe eminyakeni edlule kwaba ukubheja okuphephile.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi ngo-2007, i-Apple yakhipha i-iPhone yangempela futhi isebenzisa injini efanayo yeWebKit (idalwe ngokususelwa kwiWebhu yeCore kanye neJavaScript Core ukwenza injini eyayiyiphakheji ephelele engasetshenziswa noma yimuphi umhlinzeki), ngakha isikhombimsebenzisi sokuthinta okuningi ukunikeza umsebenzisi umuzwa ongcono kakhulu womsebenzisi. Impela, ISafari yisiphequluli ukuthi iguquke kahle impela nokuthi isenokuncintisana uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izindlela nakuba okwamanje kungeyona indlela yokusika.
