I installed your packages to test them out. I installed this with "sudo dpkg -i package1 package2 package3" in the terminal; the less hair-raising alternative to "red pill mode".

This is a nice package. I really like that you've made it easy to switch between browser rendering engines. (Although it would be nice if the little app for that was listed in the Control Panel instead of the main menu).

Awesomely fast! With the old Gecko engine, it was EMBARASSING how long it took to load the locally stored home page. With the webkit engine, that page is rendered and usable much more quickly. Google maps operates better, too, although Street View doesn't seem to work. (Just gives a grey box).

The lack of finger scrolling so far isn't too bad. I'm liking being able to select things so easily. (Although I wouldn't mind having finger scroll back).

The widget with the web page hoardes any events sent to it, so key events like Fullscreen and Menu, even though unused, do not make their way out to the parent widget while it is focused. Widgets which do that are a pet peve of mine

Again, this is astoundingly great. Practically seamless, too. Fantastic work. If not Main, may this hit Extras with grace and dignity!
