Problem description here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8528610/web-workers-behave-differently-in-webkit-than-firefox/8535673#8535673

question was resolved by switching

sync : false

, but it would be nice if polen.js could have the same default behavior for all browsers to avoid confusion.

Thanks!

Agreed, completely. That was a terrible hack to fix a poorly assessed problem in Safari in 2009

I'm going to rename the prop to async (because that makes sense) and set it to true, (because that makes sense). Doing so passes the existing tests.
