Comment (by kencu):

 Yeah, the webkitgtk2 version we have in MacPorts now is SO OLD it probably
 automatically sends your credit card number to foreign criminals on
 launch.

 Unfortunately the webkit group have made it almost impossible to keep up
 the builds -- the webkit2gtk builds do not support Darwin without tricks,
 and the Apple build of webkit -- I forget just now -- but we don't use it
 in MacPorts.

 ANYONE using webkit2gtk will have to accept that it is not a modern,
 secure browser and never will be unless they start supporting Darwin
 better.

 (If we're worried about a pdf file tying up a processor, that would a
 security risk of 1/10^6 compared to this.)
