The new kits on the block – Linux webkit based browsers review.

“WebKit is an application framework that provides a
foundation upon which to build a web browser. WebKit was originally
derived by Apple Inc. from the Konqueror browser’s KHTML software
library for use as the engine of Mac OS X’s Safari web
browser and has now been further developed by individuals from the
KDE project, Apple, Nokia, Google, Torch Mobile and others.[1] It
has been ported to a number of different platforms and is now used
as the rendering engine within a number of different pieces of
software. WebKit is open source; its WebCore and JavascriptCore
components are available under the GNU Lesser General Public
License, and WebKit as a whole is available with a BSD-style
license.[2]

“So, that is that 😀 Webkit is a browser engine, like gecko is
the browser engine for mozilla/firefox and friends. Now, for
something completely similar, who are there guys (browsers)
anyway?

“First and foremost, the grandfather of the webkit itself, the
great, lean, mean and kde machine, Konqueror and is KHTML
engine!!!”
