Is WebKit really that bad?  I've been meaning to check out www/midori, 
which from what I can tell seems to be a relatively lightweight browser 
that still does everything I need (ad blocking, user scripts, etc); and it 
is built on WebKit.

(And it uses GTK2 too, so I suppose that's a negative.  But GTK is one of 
those things that you seem to always end up with anyway, when you start 
pulling in "desktop stuff".)
