[yocto] Yocto webbrowser ?

[ya knygar]

Hi,

but why "webkit-web-browser" and not some gecko build? Isn't
're-branding' of mobile firefox would not be easier than building a
powerful stand-alone mobile webkit browser? Isn't the Mozilla's work
more important than supporting webkit now, at all?

The gecko's memory consumption has been stretched for the mobiles,
adding the UX efforts, extensions, and that Firefox Mobile is almost
the only floss mobile browser, i can't understand why not to try with
it now.
