If you installed my previous packages you MUST issue following commands in terminal as root BEFORE installing this new package:

dpkg --force-all -r microb-eal browser-eal tablet-browser-daemon
apt-get install microb-eal browser-eal tablet-browser-daemon

You also should remove engine-chooser and libicu38 packages since they aren't used anymore.

I'm not sure if it's obvious but cntl-w to close a window is another good one.

Just installed the newer, simpler package. Yay, the dependency issues seem to be resolved!

:O Where did all this free space come from? Here as well, I almost thought it hadn't worked and Mozilla had just improved itself. Took some effort to convince myself it was indeed Webkit in use. Pronvit, you deserve a cake.

One free Interweb if you can add kinetics to finger scrolling!

And a note to the uninitiated: Gconf keys can be configured really easily using gconf-editor. It is available in the Extras Devel repository. Handy little utility. Gconf is like the Windows registry done right ;)

It's the War of the Webkits!

Tear has kinetic scrolling. :p And just got a 0.3 release. And I haven't fiddled enough with it yet :), but just as soon as I finish test-driving it, I'm definitely gonna try out webkit-eal, as it does sound rather sweet...

Heh, kinetic scrolling is just five lines of code. I simply don't want to implement it until I have scrolling itself fast and smooth enough on all websites. I think such feature either should work flawlessly or not be present at all. But it's likely to appear in next versions if people want it, with option to turn on/off.

One significant difference from windows registry it that in gconf there's schema (or at least should) that defines all available keys with default values, documentation and who owns it, so it's not a scrapyard anymore.

Newbie here...

Can somebody please give me a quick tutorial on how to uninstall the old version. I'm such a newbie, the instructions given are too vague.

Thanks

Wow thanks to everyone working on this. You all are amazing. I can't believe how much faster webkit is. Browsing the forums is almost as fast as my desktop. Each pages takes no more than 5 seconds to load. I'll say it again: this is amazing.
