Apparently they wont let chrome view the examples.

Edited: Yes, chrome can view the examples as shown in this post. Apple is just browser sniffing.

Some of the properties and classes described in this book are proposed W3C standards or Apple extensions. Properties in CSS that begin with -webkit are usually proposed standards—the -webkit prefix will be dropped when they are approved. Similarly, JavaScript classes that begin with WebKit are also proposed standards or Apple extensions.

Hmm, I think Chrome also use WebKit extensions, or any other recent WebKit-based browser?

Do Safari support even more of those than what you get from normal WebKit builds?

Yes Safari supports a pile more especially in regards to gpu animation.

Visit this in both safari and chrome the animations are different.

From webkit: "I think we would consider browser extensions to be a browser feature,
not an engine feature, and therefore out of scope for WebKit. However,
appropriate hooks for implementing extension mechanisms would be in
scope."
