Well here is my take on it.

I make my living from developing web-apps.

When I find bugs in browsers like Firefox, Opera, and Safari then I try to post
my findings ASAP in hope of getting the bugs fixed.
I did not mention IE here, probably because IE developers lives in a secret
place somewhere and do not want to be disturbed... so there is no easy way to
report bugs to those guys... shame on them.. and probably one reason that IE
sucks big time.

Of the three mentioned here Firefox and Safari (webkit) really shines. :)
Why is that?
Because they give the users like me the ability to post bugs and to actually be
able to follow up the bug and see if there is any bugfixing going on.

Opera is allmost as bad as IE. They have a way to report a bug. But when the
bug has been reported it is lost in Opera's private cyberspace and only
insiders knows what happens with that bugreport....

So WebKit do shine.....

Some of the bug reporters may have the time to do what you require, test
nightly builds etc. etc.... 

I'm not one of those guys.... do not have time for this kind of testing.

I just reported the bug I found to WebKit team through this forum and I truly
belive that should be enough "food" for the webkit team to handle it from now.

I belive that this is a to serious bug for it to be overlooked.
The onbeforeunload feature is an important feature for my customers.

The number one place I use it is to check if the form a user leaves is dirty
(has been changed), and if it has, then one can prevent the user leaving the
page without first beeing told that some changes where done and then give the
enduser the option to stay on the page and save the changes.
For those that do not know it, it even works if you close the browser..
whooohaaa. 

So WebKit team keep up the good work, but I cannot contribute more than just
reporting it :)
