Requiem for a rendering engine...

I don't really like the style of anti-aliasing used by iCab. I see colored pixels everywhere in the text and that's something I personally don't like.

It doesn't smile because there's a
-tag, but the page is HTML, not XHTML.

Kind of ironic that the W3C's site doesn't make iCab smile ;)
