I managed to port Midori - a browser, which is using WebKitGtk for rendering. Working stable, but with one major bug, which i'll try to track one of the next days (the bug manifests itself as some of the site backgrounds are not rendered).

Changes:
* Hildonized.
* Moved the progress bar from statusbar to the main toolbar.
* Mapped stop/reload to Escape.
* Fullscreen button always visible (since i didn't succeed in mapping it to the hardware fullscreen button).
* Other small changes.

Known problems:
* Some backgrounds are not rendered.
* SVG support disabled - tell me if you need it.

P.S. Webkit and Midori have some dependencies, so better install them through console.

EDIT: Diff to SVN 20080329

How is the startup time and overall performance/speed compared to microb?

Strangely it feels the same, but don't forget that MicroB is meant for the tablets and this port doesn't have any optimization

Feels slower to me, actually. Could be a variety of things factoring into that, though.

Yeah, like my perception of time

It is also memory hungry - ITT tab and a second one grinds a 770 to a halt

Just tried this out.

On my N800, it seems to take a while to load. After that, web pages by comparison seem to load quite snappily. However there were a few odd bugs (or "features"), like:

- Pressing return on the virtual keyboard while in the address box took me to the search box
- Google Reader didn't load at all
- It is not possible to open the thumb keyboard as the dpad button is mapped to visiting the current address
- Embedded flash does not work

Apart from that though, this looks to be a rather neat browser for the IT!

Keep up the good work.

Looks very promising!
I don't think anyone really needs svg. It would be very good if you could map the fullscreen button to the physical button and while at it, map the page up page down to the plus and minus buttons.

Yeah, since zoom is not implemented upstream, scroll with +/- seems like a nice idea.
