Swift is a Microsoft Windows native web browser that utilizes Apple's WebKit, based on the KHTML browser rendering engine. Swift was the first KHTML-based browser available for Microsoft Windows. The browser is in an early alpha version. There were plans to release a version of Swift based on Gecko, but were called off due to a final (working) release of WebKit. [1] [2]

Known issues and bugs

The WebKit code in Apple's subversion is still in the process of being ported to Windows and not all features are currently working. There is a noticeable lack of support for CSS. Scrolling, through the use of a mouse's wheel button, is also not supported.

Identification

Both versions of Swift, 0.1 and 0.2, have the same User Agent string. Swift identifies as Mozilla/5.0 (PC; U; Intel; Windows; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko).
