Correct, it runs on WebKit, the same as Safari, WebKit, and Adobe AIR, as
well as the browser built into the iPhone and iPod Touch. It's comes from
KDE, so in theory it shares a common base with the KHTML browser, too.
It should be pretty rock solid by this point and has a lot of the open
source community pounding on it, just like FireFox. IE was based on
SpyGlass and although MS has worked it through many revisions, IE lacks
the purview of many parties that would improve security and failsafe
mechanisms inherent to Safari, Chrome, KHTML and FireFox.
