KDE has a web browser too, Konqueror which uses KHTML and KJS which then Apple forked into Webkit to use in Safari. Google then got into the Webkit action with Chrome. Now Google is forking Webkit itself.

So yes, nothing good ever comes out of rarely used web browsers.

The Web browser is WebKit via WebKitGTK+ (the reference is a little oblique, but it's mentioned in the article, or you could do a basic search), so no need to fret over other people working on a browser you don't even use.

A built-in browser is the best way to download the browser of your choice.

No, the package management system on just about every distribution running gnome is the best way. A web browser is a good way to get info on why the package manage is broken though.

You're talking about IE6, amirite?

Because Web adheres to the human interface guidelines.
