Safari Adopts WebKit2
Back in April of 2010, Apple has announced a new version of WebKit framework which is essentially called WebKit2
Well, it looks like the upcoming Mac OS X Lion release will feature an improved Safari web browser that finally utilizes Webkit2.
One of the main framework goals is to utilize a split process model, so the web content would be placed into a separate process. As a result, bad plugin, tab etc. won’t crash the whole web browser.
This behavior is very similar to Chrome’s; however, as split process module is directly integrated into WebKit2 framework, other clients will be able to use it as well.

Excellent !!!!!!
This is really a good news for MAC users. I don’t know many safari users are there in Windows. Hopefully firefox & IE follows in this in future version.
IE already has split process model.
You mean hopefully Firefox and Opera follow this in future versions.
I hope Opera never implements this shit that only mask crashes.
Actually IE was the first to implement multiple processes, Chrome was announced months after IE.
