Agreed. On top of that, there is a lot of free engineering work that these downstream distros are benefiting from. Tinkering too much risks each change up the chain requiring more work to pull down into their fork.

These browser alts will at some point just cow tow to Google’s new vision of the internet. The only people who really have any real ability to push back unfortunately … Is Apple (and I don’t like admitting that but see apple vs flash) and webkit.

I wonder if I could simply get away with a browser that adheres to webkit standards (like the original chrome used to) like gnome web or konquerer.
