Wow... now that explains all the RAM Safari has been using as of
late... I open and close and re-open tabs all the time!

In terms of specific message styles, I've also confirmed this with
modern bubbling and stockholm... it doesn't seem to matter, and
shouldn't considering it also happens in Safari.

Does growl use webkit for anything? Haha ;)
