I am trying to find out what the PS3 web browser is like in terms of CSS, JS, Flash, etc.
I found some articles saying it is pretty bad, but these are several years old and the PS3 software is frequently updated so I can't trust things like this.
Can anyone point me at official specs or a recent analysis? Your own test results are welcome but please state how recent they are.
This is an old post, but thought I'd add to it.
A quick visit to acid3.acidtests.com shows that my (up-to-date) PS3 is now getting a 99% score. It's actually a little lower since the test also requires pixel-perfect rendering and smooth animation, neither of which it has yet. (One of the boxes is gray when it should be yellow, and the animation is jerky.)
Whatsmyuseragent.com shows that it's running WebKit 531.22.8, which must be behind the improvement. It's strange that they're using 531 in a 2012 system update since that build is almost three years out of date. But regardless it's a huge leap forward compared to what they had before.
The latest specs I could find showed the PS3 getting an ACID3 score of 27 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3) and a similar Wikipedia page details the capabilities of the NetFront engine, which is used by the PS3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetFront. These results are from a January 2011 release, but the release notes for subsequent updates don't show any modifications to it.
There are also a few questions on here which can give you a pointer to potential issues such as: Javascript not working on PS3 Browser.
As of PS3 firmware 4.50, a custom fork of the WebKit browser is used that masquerades as Netfront NX. It is roughly equivalent in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript functionality to an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0 in terms of functionality -- except that the PS3 also includes a Flash 9.x runtime. Having the Flash 9 runtime allows for using polyfills for WebSockets, Promises, and other HTML5/ES6 features. It does effectively pass the Acid3 test, which some minor alignment issues like most 2012-era browsers.
A decent JavaScript development setup that is using webpack and Flash 9 polyfills should be able to produce a JS bundle targeting PS3, Xbox 360, and Android 2.x with pretty advanced functionality comparable to modern mobile browsers.

I've used Materialize CSS in the past and I really like the framework. However a lot of our projects require IE9 support which Materialize doesn't support. Could anyone recommend a similar framework (preferable responsive, mobile first) they might have used in the past which supports IE9.
I've looked at Google's MDL which has 'B' support for IE9. but I'm looking for something which even if has a subset of features, does fully support IE9.
If you don't care about the material design aspects, then there are plenty of good frameworks out there with good legacy support.
If you want a material design look and feel, then these are your two choices. Obviously, MDL is the better choice, since it's fully supported by Google. AFAIK, the "B" in support for IE9 relates to features like "waves" radiating out when you press on a button. It does not mean anything breaks; it means some (gratuitous) features will degrade (gracefully), or not function.
Users of older browsers need to understand that refusing to update their browsers comes with a cost. Where do you draw the line? Do you support IE6? IE7? IE8? One survey shows IE9 with a market share of 2%. To what lengths are you willing to go to give those 2% of people some kind of amazing animated input box experience?
I understand that sometimes these decisions are made not by us wise developers, but by business people who operate under, shall we say, a different set of priorities. If that's the situation, the easiest way to get through to them is simply give them an estimate of two person-years for IE9 support.
Try Bootstrap Material Design. Bootstrap itself supports IE9. But I don't guarantee a full 100% support. The market share of IE9 is so small that no one will make something fully compatible with it.

I'm on the hunt for an open-source version of Adobe Dreamweaver to use for my freelance web development projects. I'm primarily a source coder, but I would find a split or visual view for CSS and design work, as well as native FTP functionality, helpful. My work involves HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, and ColdFusion. Native support for the latter, in particular, would be ideal.
I've come across the following programs that seem somewhat promising:
BlueGriffin (last stable version is dated June 19, 2013)
Brackets
CoffeeCup HTML Editor
A quick search here in the StackOverflow community turned up a couple of similar questions (see Dreamweaver alternative and Any open source alternatives for Dreamweaver using WebDav?), but I would appreciate more recent/modern alternatives.
I'm a Windows user running 8.1.
I'd love to know what others more experienced than me in this quest have uncovered.
To provide an update and answer to my question, I've found Brackets to be superior thus far. The editor is nifty in and of itself, but there's an absolute treasure trove of extensions to behold. For my specific needs, I found FTP-Sync and cfBrackets exceptionally helpful. They installed neatly and effortlessly.
Eclipse with the CFEclipse plugin , or CFBuilder (yes there is a free version)

Safari 5 has gotten a new feature: The Reader. It shows a simplified version of an article page with just the article itself (and not all the clutter around). It also merges multiple pages (if the article is split across multiple pages) to a single one.
This is an extremely useful feature and I would like to port it over to Chrome.
I was searching for Readers code in the WebKit trunk (e.g. http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/) but I couldn't find it.
Any hint where I can find it?
Safari Reader borrows from the Readability project, according to an article in the register. Readability implements a similar user experience, but does so in a cross browser fashion (using bookmarklets)
The project site is probably a good place to start:
http://code.google.com/p/arc90labs-readability/
I hope this helps!
BTW - I had links to several sites, including the demo site, the original artcile in the register, but stackoverflow won't let n00bs post more than one link. I will edit to add those once I have some rep!
UI-level features are generally part of the Safari codebase, which as Ivo said is not open-source. The WebKit nightly builds aren't open-source either, they are essentially versions of Safari that use an embedded, trunk copy of the engine instead of the one that shipped with the OS.
I'm not sure where safari's webreader code is. but there is a tool called boilerpipe that does something very similar
A good review on similar tools available is given on Tomaz Kovacic's blog: http://tomazkovacic.com/blog/122/evaluating-text-extraction-algorithms/
It contains comparison of text extraction tools (including boilerpipe, reaability and several others) on two sets of articles. Also there is a feature wise comparison in other article on the same blog.

We have a CMS system that we're currently taking the admin back end and converting to Silverlight 3 or possibly 4 by the time we go to production. We wrote a custom JS / DHTML editor to suit our needs, and will need to do the same now in Silverlight. Has anyone seen any clues to a base functionality that we could build upon for our own app?
We don't really have the time to build from scratch, but it's looking as if this might be our only solution for today. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.vectorlight.net/controls/rich_textbox.aspx We came across this control, but there’s no option to buy the source code. Something similar could be enough for now, as long as we could modify it to our needs. Price is not a huge issue, as long as it was less than $2K. That’s the tipping point where I’d need to make a real business case for it outside our team.
I work for a company that has just released a Silverlight Control suite and one of the controsl we have developed is a Silverlight HTML Editor.
Silverlight Html Editor
It includes basic functionality and we're growing the capabilities based on customer demand. It allows HTML import and export which I think is your key initial requirement.
Source code is available for purchase if desired and the price is well down on the $2000 upper limit that you have :-)
I hope that helps.
Have you looked at the Rich Notepad Silverlight 4 sample from Microsoft?
http://silverlight.net/community/samples/silverlight-4-beta/rich-notepad/
The XamRichTextEditor is a highly customizable rich text editing control that provides functionality modeled after the features and behavior of Microsoft Word. The XamRichTextEditor is provided in both WPF and Silverlight versions with an API that is common across both platforms, enabling you to incorporate rich text editing capabilities into your cross platform applications.
http://www.infragistics.com/products/silverlight/editors/rich-text-editor
We're going to give the component art component a shot. http://www.componentart.com/products/silverlight/editors/
I chatted with their support a bit, and the toolbar is separate from the editor, and highly customizable with our own features. I'll try to remember to post back some feedback if it's good, so that others can benefit.

Before I upgraded to Firefox 3 I used to constantly use the View Source Chart Firefox Addon which shows the source HTML in a very organized, graphical form. Unfortunately, this addon is only for Firefox 2 and the beta version for Firefox 3 now costs $10 on the author's site.
Anyone know of a similar addon that works for Firefox 3?
(of course, I might indeed pay $10 for this, but first want to ask around if there isn't anything better and free, as the version for Firefox 2 had its limitations and I don't really want to pay $10 for something in beta that I can't test out before paying for it.)
Is Firebug not sufficient?
You can try to use Nightly Tester Tools It overrides addons compatibility check. Using this tool I managed to bring all of my fav extensions from FF2 to FF3
View formatted source is kinda similar. It uses tree controls rather than pretty colour blocks, though.
Try Chris Pederick's Web Developer Toolbar.
You could always try Firefug. It sounds like it does a similar thing, plus more :)
i had the same problem...
you can use the free version (2.5.0503)...it's compatible with firefox3 and it's work.
on the web site it's write that it's not with full functionality but i don't know whitch functionality there aren't.
