RFC browser: URL bar, bounce effect, performance

[Sebastian Kügler]

Let me reiterate the reasons why we decided to do our own browser:

There's no good, Free, touch-friendly alternative for us. Fennec for example 
is still very young

The list goes on like this.

We looked at alternatives some time ago, but the work any other browser needed 
is not a lot less. Also, having our own browser makes it possible to integrate 
this really central application in our UX as well as possible. I still think 
it's the right decision, but more manpower on the browser would surely not 
hurt.
