      3 surf is a simple web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+. It is able
      4 to display websites and follow links. It supports the XEmbed protocol
      5 which makes it possible to embed it in another application. Furthermore,
      6 one can point surf to another URI by setting its XProperties.

     29 Note On Webkit Versions
     30 -----------------------
     31 Compile your own webkit or expect hell. The packaging of webkit is pure
     32 insane.
     33 Surf uses upstream stable webkit2gtk by default, but the previous
     34 version based on webkit1gtk is still available as a branch.
