Has anyone tried the WebKit version of Epiphany?
I hear it's BLAZING fast.
I think I'll try hacking it together this weekend, but I was wondering if anyone else had tried it?
Gecko seems to be losing big time to WebKit according to the article below. I'm interested in what the gNS audience might think of this. I like Epiphany anyway so...

I don't think it's the speed, Epiphany is already fast. The Epiphany developers decided to change to WebKit because they couldn't synchronize correctly with Gecko and because it's a little bloated (or to bloated).
I tried to compile WebKit with Epiphany but it's just to much work, besides, Epiphany has some bugs that bother me to much in the current Gnome version of gNewSense (2.22.1). It's not worth the time for me.
If anyone is interested to see a Web-Kit based browser, there is in the gNS-Repository
a early version of Midori that uses Web-Kit, but it is'nt fully functional yet.
A second choice is to install Arora (via the arora website) and use it.
Arora is in a later stage than Midori from the repo and (nearly fully) usable. Both
browsers are GNU - licensed.
