and on top on that, the only browser on linux that works well with touchscreen 
atm i think is firefox mobile (mobile or tablet ui doesn't change that much 
actually)
from what i hear they really don't have much interest continuing the x11 
version, focusing mostly on android now.

the only thing that could change their mind is us having a really huge 
success, so we need that success and without them ;)
