Not the desktop version of Safari, but yes, the mobile Safari has  
something like this. I think the Nokia browser does too.

Well, those browsers aren't open source, so there's no real way for  
you to find out how they implemented the feature.

I think it's safe to assume that they draw the web pages into a bitmap  
and then shrink the image.

It certainly has nothing to do with the HTML <canvas> element in  
either case.
