I'm not discarding, I'm saying that there is a lot of work.

If we are interested in non-steppy browsers, it's not hard to embed
Chromium/Blink using CAF, nor is it hard to just be silly and reparent an
X11 browser window. Or, well, just use a web engine inside its common host
browser.

If we are discussing a port, presumably we see advantages to tight
integration (themes, services, GS open/save dialogue, more?) and if so,
we'd want something like a GS port of a browser.

WebKit is a good candidate, just, let's not present it as a lightweight
project because it's anything but.
