+      Itâs been a long time in the making, but the first bits of the WebKit2
+      support are already in the master branch. As we had anticipated for now it
+      is available in beta form, which means we donât build it by default and
+      thereâs still some functionality missing. That being said, it is really
+      usable at this point, and doing the actual porting has helped us a lot in
+      maturing the up and coming next generation of the WebKit framework. If you
+      want to give it a shot, just build the browser with â--with-webkit2â, and
+      youâll notice:

+      box again. That means Flash support without having to rely on

+      <item><p>Other things that are there, but invisible to users, like
+      increased security or a new and improved API, built on top of all our
+      experience with the classic WebKit.</p></item>
