It's disappointing that they seem to be using their own build of WebKit, instead of the officially supported WebKitGtk port that exists in Apple's repository. This means that the development effort is split, and that bugs in one port won't be fixed in the other.
Google could have contributed to the entire Linux desktop ecosystem by joining forces with the WebKitGtk team, but instead they went their own way. They would have benefitted as well, having a mostly-stable and mostly-complete base to start from, instead of having all these rendering bugs and complaints about fitting GTK into WebKit.
