So basically Netfront is a browser originally made for Symbian, but was ported over in GTK 1.2. The article compares Dillo with Netfront, and is proven superior over it...
Should DSL use this instead?

Yarr! You be noticin' it too, matey!

I don't think that the browser itself is particularly good - the engine is, however. The interface is simply clunky and feels unfinished, and until the code becomes open, then nobody can improve upon it.

Aye, the interface do be clunky, but the page renders be far superior to yon' Dillo.

Unfortunately, me eyes do no read whatever foul language that the netfront homepage do be written in so I have no idea if they even plan to make it OSS.

If on' o' ye be able to read it, an' tell us, it would be great.

Yarr.

yarrrr....I be usin' Dillo for naught but rapid access to me local documents.  If 'twere true that this young upstart be supportin' a wider range of code than Dillo, well...she'll be a fine vessel for sailin' the Web, says I.
