I am using Webkit Nightly because i'm working on some new HTML5 features. I would like to look at the application full screen, without the window chrome.
Other browsers have F11 and other buttons to go fullscreen, but webkit doesn't. Is there a way I can launch it in fullscreen mode?

Webkit is a web content engine and its not a browser on its own. Anyway, which port of webkit are you referring to? GTK+? QT? EFL?
I just downloaded and compiled WebKit-r70098 (for GTK+) on my Ubuntu box following this instructions. The demo browser (GtkLauncher) that comes with it creates a window of 800x600 (hardcoded in the code) and doesn't have a fullscreen feature.
Also, the pre-compiled binaries for Mac OS X that allows Safari to run on top of Webkit, don't offer native fullscreen capabilities. Currently there's no fullscreen without tweaking Safari configuration files or using 3rd party plugins (there are lots of them).
EDIT:
On Windows, webkit.exe also doesn't have fullscreen capabilities.

I have a need to inspect what is being drawn in a <canvas>, as in this question. And I know how to use the Chrome dev tools canvas inspector, and the Firefox Canvas Debugger.
Are there any similar tools for the Safari web browser?
For the sake of clarity, let's assume desktop Safari v9.1.1 running in OSX 10.10.
There we have an web app developed for Android and iPhone (using webview). It is based on Sencha Touch 1.1.1. Thus it runs only on WebKit based browsers, and not on Internet Explorer. I want it to run it on Windows Phone, thus I need to run WebKit (not IE) inside the app (as webview).
Is it possible to build a Windows app with webview which used WebKit?
I'm trying to write ppapi plugin for Chrome which will use webcam (show preview and write file). I have installed NaCl sdk with pepper_35.
There available examples in /examples/api/ folder: media_stream_audio and media_stream_video.
The audio example works fine - requests access to microphone and shows some kind of preview.
The "media_stream_video" example must show web-camera video preview, but when I load example on the local web server (with make serve command), there appears red rect, and Chrome asks for the web camera access. When I click “allow” - webcam indicator lights-up, chrome show that web page uses the web camera, and I see the camera settings icon. But the preview doesn't work, there still red rectangle instead.
I checked this on Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Mac OS X, with five different webcams, and have no idea what can be wrong.
Maybe someone already encountered with the same problem?
Installing the pepper_37(dev) version of NaCl SDK solved the problem. Looks like it is unstable version currently, but it works.
I built the chromium for android following these instructions https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidBuildInstructions .
I got the content shell only not the full browser.
Then, I built the Firefox for Android. I successfully got the Full web browser. But the performance of the chrome content shell was much much better than that of Firefox Android build. Now, I want to try building the Firefox Android using chromium rendering Engine, Blink replacing the Gecko rendering Engine. How much is the difficulty level and how can I start.
Thanks,
Chromium uses Blink (earlier Webkit) as its rendering, and V8 for Javascript interpretation along with various 3rd party dependencies. Even though Content shell is a small browser (sans complex UI of Chromium) it is functional and a wrapper over Blink. Having said that fitting Blink with Firefox (instead of Gecko) will be a new project by itself, probably you can try building Webview, so that you can build a simple browser itself in android. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html
Chromium - Open Source project
Chrome- Google's proprietary software + Chromium
In Android only Google Chrome can be installed as APK, wherease Chromium can be built as content shell or used through WebView

I am a newbie of Sencha.
I use Sencha Architect (Version: 2.2.2 Build: 991) to create the Sencha Touch (2.2.1) application.
But when I deploy and run it on IE10, it does not work, showing blank screen. I open the debug mode (F12), and I see that the browser always auto changes to the Browser mode IE10 Compat View, Document Mode: IE7 standard.
I switch the Browser mode to IE10, the app run again. Is there any config I need to set to run on IE10? Or is this a bug?
Sencha Touch is built for Webkit-based browser (Chrome, Safari)
IE and other browsers like Firefox are not built on Webkit, thus not able to render pages written with Sencha Touch. Even if you can run it this time, there will be elements that cannot be displayed properly, causing the page to have weird look.
Update: sorry for the wrong info. Since 2.2, Sencha Touch provides support to IE 10. So this means your page should be rendered without any problem with IE10. I tried opening up a page created by Sencha Touch 2.2 on my Lumia, it was OK without any problem. I guess IE10 on desktop may have a false detection in your case and try to open the page in IE7 compat mode. On actual device there shouldn't be such issue.
