Description Kyle Tirak 2008-05-08 22:54:56 UTC

Skipstone looks like it was removed from portage due to a dependence on Mozilla. Skipstone now is able to compile against Firefox and Xulrunner so it might be time for another look at putting it back in? It's current version is 1.0.1.

It can also optionally link against webkit for rendering, not just gecko. Might be worth another look, especially if it's less buggy than Midori.

Midori crashes because of webkit, which is unstable.  The skipstone changelog says webkit support is "very experimental," so I wouldn't count on this to work any better than midori.

I did use this once upon a time but it's long dead now.
