\* Both GTK 2 and GTK 3 supported

Advantages:
* Support for GTK 2 and 3 under linux
* Uses OS installed webkit that comes with iTunes on Windows, Safari on Mac OS X (?), libwebkit-3 on Linux
* Native code is open source

Disadvantages:
* Implemented API allows basic browser operations and doesn't provides API to access DOM model
* No 64 bit support on Windows

Performance:
* Good performance
