From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I haven't noticed any major issues with Webkit on my Mac, only that Safari's UI sucks.
Unfortunately Gnome Web also inherits most of Safari's bad UI design. Really the only thing I want from Gnome Web (apart from performance improvements) is to have a bookmarks bars like Chromium and Firefox. Having to go into the bookmarks side bar is a major slowdown. I've had to work around it by using a keyboard shortcut for a new tab, typing in the bookmark name, then using arrow keys to navigate to it.
