Hello,
I think more important than the form the sources are hosted (git or tarball)
is if the program is to be considered stable. To me a program is stable if
new versions do only deliver bug fixes and minor improvements. I think this
is the case here. So I would prefer to use the PKGBUILD in AUR over a
to-be-written PKGBUILD for some tarball version, also because the former
is the one which has 427 votes.
BTW, interesting project. I personally prefer conkeror, but uzbl has an
promissing concept.
Regards stefan
