Did Apple Trick Netscape?
Update (January 9, 2003): Dave Hyatt, a member of the Safari team, responds to Eric Meyer’s entry: “This is a ludicrous claim and is completely without merit.”
Eric Meyer mentions credible rumors that Apple may have tricked Netscape:
I’ve heard credible rumors that Apple, while it was working on Safari, filed Bugzilla evangelism bugs so that the Standards Evangelists at Netscape (of which I’m one) would get the sites to fix their code to work with Gecko and other standards-compliant browsers. This would then, they apparently hoped, get the sites working in Safari as well.
Understandably, Eric, and a lot of other Gecko developers are going to be really angry if this is true. I’m going to be angry if it’s true. Here’s hoping that this, the first truly ugly apple rumor of the week, isn’t true.
