There’s a new open source web browser on the block. The “Origyn Web
Browser” (OWB) is based on the open-source WebKit browser engine, the
same technology behind Apple’s Safari.

...

If you’d like to play around with OWB, you can grab the source from
Sand-labs.org. OWB is governed by the BSD license.

The suggested development setup is a Gentoo Linux-based environment,
which has an installer, but there are other builds for OS X and the
Nokia N800 internet tablet.



Thanks,
Donnie

wasn't Safari built on the gecko engine?

that means: no ebuilds availables? right?

No no no. Safari is built on WebKit which is a fork of KHTML. It is Camino which is based on Gecko.

For Linux/*BSD we have another option for WebCore/WebKit. Take a look at gtk-webcore as well as webkit-gtk (ebuilds available in Gentoo bugzilla).

I think I'll take a look, just to see if it is truly that much better than a few months ago.
