SkipStone is a Gtk+ Web Browser that embeds Mozilla's rendering component Gecko. SkipStone aims to be light and fast with few dependencies.

SkipStone is currently under heavy development, but its progressing quickly and coming along nicely. It provides a nice and simple configurable interface, bookmarks and all of the other mandantory browsing features.

Downloading is handled by SkipDownload by default, a Gtk+ frontend to the famous web downloading utility wget. However, if you prefer to use other download utilities / managers, this option is configurable.

Mail and external url handlers are also handled by external applications which can be configured to the users choice, leaving SkipStone to do what it does best - browsing.

Requirements:
GTK+ 2.2.0
Mozilla 1.7.3

What's New in This Release:
Bugfixes to plugin creation in the toolbar.
New window calls from Mozilla have been fixed for creation of widgets only if asked for.
The ContentHandler API from Mozilla has been implemented.
