KHTML is not bad

I don't think KHTML is bad - I use it in Konqueror quite a lot and it works well.

I'd be very unhappy about a switch to Webkit. Anything that Apple has its hands on tends to end off full of dumb security flaws. Yes, Chrome uses Webkit, but Chrome isolates each Webkit instance from itself and from the operating system.

I'd prefer that Webkit features get 'backported' to KHTML so there can at least be some code review, and so the KDE developers can fix up all the security problems.
