Sounds like we need to work on an alternate browser for people who want one (or want to stay on 5.6.5 since we revealed how to exploit it).

I am sure that I saw mentions that other people had installed Skipstone, but I don't recall them reporting if it worked trouble free.

All three browsers are "webkit" based browsers -
But since we are not bound by corporate restrictions, we can build with a 'fixed' version of webkit-gtk, unlike Amazon/Lab126.
I have Skipstone on 5.7 & it works pretty well.

Issues I've noticed: (no change since when I tried it on 5.6)
-kinetic scrolling is 1 pixel / big scrolling gesture (using the scrollbar on the right side is fast)
-Reddit has crazy weird font issues
-Typing into the address bar is very clunky, because there is no way to delete the previous http adress in a speedy manner. (aka you have to spam backspace)
