It's only on some web pages (this forum for example styleid=10) that scrolling is odd. On other pages it's very nice. So sorry for the false alarm.

Actually only adblock-plus as of right now. I just installed greasemonkey to see if i could get that to work, but since i have no experience with it, i don't know if it is working or not. i believe that greasemonkey can do what adblock does, but adblock-plus is so easy to get up and running that i have never tinkered with greasemonkey.

Those are firefox extensions. They can be ported to microb because microb is firefox3 based, but no way they can work with webkit.
By the way, my wishlist would be:
- Download
- Proxy settings (so privoxy can clean some of the ad infestation)
- Minimum font size setting (good for aging eyes)
And, of course, some kind of control (whitelists with wildcards) for js and flash would be great.

No, although there are now a number of similar extensions for other browsers. The wikipedia page has a good summary.

Wow. I just had to thank you for porting webkit. I'm amazed how much faster the browsing experience is.

I just use a host file, works great for whatever browser I'm using: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...3&postcount=10

did this and it works ok although it seems to slow down rendering quite a bit and leaves a big white space where the ads were.

i wonder if the component system could be abused as a tweak system for webkit...
