Webkit Summary
Webkit is an open source web browser core display system, similar to Mozilla's Gecko. For some reason, I've been having lots of problems with Iceweasel lately, so I might try to work on this a little and see if I can have any better luck.
Using Webkit
In debian, there is a package called libwebkit, but I can't figure out how one would go about actually using it. Actually, looks like there is an epiphany package for webkit: epiphany-webkit. Its fast, but crashes a lot. There is also a package in debian sid called midori that runs pretty well, but also crashes often for me. NOTE: The crashes don't happen nearly as much as they used to.

Libsoup
Instead I'm now trying to build it manually using autogen.sh. Running into this error now:
checking for LIBSOUP... configure: error: Package requirements (libsoup-2.4 >= 2.25.91) were not met: Requested 'libsoup-2.4 >= 2.25.91' but version of libsoup is 2.24.3 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBSOUP_CFLAGS and LIBSOUP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Libproxy
Now installing:
svn checkout http://libproxy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ libproxy-read-only ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install
Now back to libsoup... so far so good.
I'll have to manually install libsoup too.
SquirrelFish
I was going to try to use SquirrelFish today, but then I realized that it only works on 32-bit. UPDATE: Looks like x86_64 is in the works, and looks good: WebKit 1.1.3 in experimental! See Webkit Compiling.
