Summary     : Lightweight WebKit browser following the UNIX philosophy
Description :

streams, because that is a universal interface."

Update Information:

Fix a bug in the default configuration for the mouse bindings that can allow
crafted links to execute arbitrary shell code.    Please check your local
configuration and replace "\@SELECTED_URI" with "$8" in any string that is
