DESCRIPTION

By Claudio Saavedra. Now that WebKit2 is a core part of Web, the GNOME community has finally closed the gap and can be proud to present its users with a browser of world-class quality. But WebKit2 is just the start: there are plenty of challenges ahead and this is the best time for us to embrace them. In this talk we discuss the state of Web, the advantages and possibilities that WebKit2 brings to the browser, and our plans for the future.
