Yeah true, I guess I will need to "leave" GTK2 soon or late.

Ok, good to know. I'll give it a try.

Few months ago, I saw that webkitnix[1] was dropped. But the last
commit isn't too old, it seems to be still updated sometimes.
Maybe it could become really interesting for us.
About netsurf, yeah why not. But it lacks some properties IMHO.
One of my friend tried to run a CSS2 website from me and the support
was horrible, despite the care applied to the code.
CSS2 support isn't complete.
