No, I don't think it does. They use indexdb so you can store the docs offline. As Michael said, this feature only just landed in, I guess, webkit2-gtk (or whatever it's called).

WebKitGTK+. Why are you looking to replace it?

Additionally, in the not very distant future, we're going to want to take a careful look at the servo as a replacement to webkit2 since they are supporting the chromium embedding framework, and their radically advanced architecture.

Well, I'm curious why you see Chromium Embedded Framework as a strength. I don't doubt it's great for many purposes, but for GNOME? With WebKit, Apple has been a fairly good partner, accommodating us to make sure we can do the things we want to do at every level of their stack. That will never be permitted with Chromium/Blink.

Anyway, servo is extremely interesting simply because it's written in Rust, and hopefully that means a huge security benefit. But it's a research project in the very early stages of development. We should keep an eye on it, for sure.
