Swift is a Microsoft Windows native web browser that utilizes Apple Computer's WebKit, which is a KHTML-based rendering engine, to achieve superior load times. Although the web browser is in an early alpha version, and contains many bugs, it is the first KHTML based browser available for Microsoft Windows.
[edit] 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. It is still very much a work in progress and not a production level browser.
Microsoft's .NET framework 2.0 is required to run Swift.
[edit] Identification
Each version of Swift, thus far, has a different User agent string.
Swift identifies as Mozilla/5.0 (PC; U; Intel; Windows; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko).
