+==============================================
+IMPORTANT: Current state of the WebKit2 branch
+==============================================
+
+WebKit1 is essentially dead. Sooner or later, we have to jump to
+WebKit2. See also:
+
+http://blogs.igalia.com/carlosgc/2014/08/01/webkitgtk-2-5-1-good-bye-webkit1/
+
+There's a number of issues on this branch:
+
+ - No adblock support. As stated in commit f1174ff, this has to be
+ implemented as a "WebKit2 web extension". Maybe do this in a
+ project of its own?
+ - Java appears to work but Flash looks very broken. In fact, there's
+ a number of crashes of "WebKitPluginProcess2" when pages using
+ Flash are opened.
+ - "View source" mode is not yet ported. This feature has been
+ removed from WebKit2, so we have to invent some way to re-create
+ this...
+ - There's an annoying border around the WebView widget.
+ - There may be a hell lot of other issues that I have not yet
+ encountered.
+
+However, important issues of the original WebKit1 lariza have been
+fixed:
+
+ - Those pages that crash all WebKit1 browsers do work now.
+ - The "back" button works reliably.
