For sure, but I really intended the point more as an argument against WebKit, 
an aside. Most of my browsing is done in SeaMonkey. I use Konq/KHTML and FF 
as well, but not Chrom* except in isolated instances of wanting to see what 
WebKit does. Chrom* UI is awful:

True, but the the CSS writers consider it not broken, a choice made 
intentionally to keep web browsers from appearing to be broken when they are 
used to render stupidly designed pages, surgery to remove a diseased lung 
instead of stopping smoking.
