    3 == Extensions don't work in !WebKit! / !WebKit crashes with extensions installed! ==
    4 Extensions are completely unsupported with any version of Safari/!WebKit. To provide their functionality, extensions rely on private APIs and implementation details that often change and cause the extensions to break. There have been many changes to !WebKit since the currently released version and the way extensions deal with changes and errors varies greatly, with many crashing often.[[BR]]
     3= Releases =

    6 !WebKit will detect if you have any extensions installed and warn you if it comes across any. If !WebKit crashes, please remove any extensions from the following directories and see if you can reproduce the problem before [http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html filing a bug]:
     5== When will Apple release an updated Safari with !WebKit? ==

     20== Why don't WebKit Nightlies don't work on OS X El Capitan (10.11)?
     21
     22This should be fixed soon. In the meantime, a somewhat [WebKitNightlyElCapWorkaround onerous workaround] can be used to re-enable nightlies.
     23
    2224== Why doesn't the version number change in the About Safari window when I'm running a nightly? ==
    23 The info displayed in the About Safari window is the Safari version number, not WebKit's. It won't change unless the Safari application itself has been upgraded.

    2627== Can I replace system !WebKit with one from a nightly or local build? ==
    27 Replacing the !WebKit.framework that ships with Mac OS X or any of its components with those from a locally built copy or a nightly build of !WebKit is '''HIGHLY''' discouraged. Doing so will likely leave your system unusuable and cause a tear in the fabric of spacetime—so don't do it! [[BR]]

    2930There are a number of safe ways to test an application against a newer !WebKit:
    3031 * If you have access to the source code, recompile it to link against the newer frameworks. It might be necessary to link against !WebCore.framework while doing this as local builds are not umbrella frameworks.
    3132 * The [http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-app run-webkit-app] script located in !Tools/Scripts allows an application to run with a locally built copy of !WebKit.
    32  * Set the DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to point to the newer frameworks.
