[...] seems to be stable. I haven’t had it crash yet, which is a large improvement over last time I tried it [...]

The fonts are way too small (5pt) and any attempt of change the size makes midori segfault.

Any workaround for this?

The problem with Firefox is it’s name and logo, not the icons.

I cannot fint CODE in menus. If an html document doesn’t use charset, it may garble.

I believe that as of version 1.0, Skipstone also supports Webkit.

Is there any reason to use Midori in Ubuntu, rather than Firefox? I remember hearing some fuss that Firefox’s icon set wasn’t quite open-source, although that shouldn’t be an issue now that FF3 is using GTK in Ubuntu.

Just a note to tell you my ppa is also available for Hardy with Webkit 31841 (from Debian) and the git version of midori from today

The Epiphany switch is fantastic. I wonder what will happen with Midori after that? I suppose it’s more of a GTK+ browser than a GNOME browser, but I love to see consolidation of projects; focused energies are great.

This was useful, thanks – now I have a trivial way to test with webkit without going to the trouble of rebuilding Epiphany.
