Outdated WebKit Engine #1790

Hi,

I'm the developer of a web platform and after adding asynchronous functions I've had to reduce browser support to Chrome 55+, Firefox 52+ and Safari 10.1+. Unfortunately Otter uses what is effectively Safari 10.0 and just barely is no longer supported by my platform.

I really liked having a WebKit (not Blink!) based browser to test with but it was already slow and fairly dated when I first discovered it. Now it's the equivalent of a 3GB VRAM GPU, it'll work sometimes but pretty much every website I visit with it including this one is broken.

Offhand, I don't know how much of a PITA it would be to implement a newer version of WebKit but it seems pointless to work on the browser frame if the engine is just too dated to use. If you update please stick to WebKit, the world does not need yet another Blink based browser (e.g. Chrome Clones).
