Comment (by RJVB):

 Replying to [comment:4 kencu]:
 > MP has 2.28.2 also.

 Doh, I guess I got confused with another port (not the devel one I mean).

 Kernel message passing, in what context?

 I too find that many websites crash, and also with the Linux build. That
 one uses mostly the same patches so one of the Darwin-specific ones could
 explain why the Linux build is slightly (but academically) more stable.

 Funny thing is that the older WebKit code used by the rebooted Qt WebKit
 (not in MacPorts AFAIK) is a lot more stable; the front-end (browser) and
 glue (Qt vs. GTk) could thus have some impact here.

 Oh well. As long as the framework is reliable as a renderer for HTML
 documentation and the like that's already a big gain over Chrome/WebEngine
 which is severely overkill for such tasks.
