Webkit is the engine that drives Mac OS X's Safari web browser. A year or so
ago Safari for Windows was released. Anyone who shuts out Safari users has at
best rocks for brains. Same applies to moronic web developers who test for
Safari instead of Webkit, as too often happens with sites testing for Firefox
instead of Gecko. Such site breakage needs to be reported to those sites for
the idiocy it is.

IOW, not having Gecko should not be a problem. Webkit is good stuff whether
it comes in a Safari wrapper or an Epiphany wrapper.
