Karsten, have you checked out netraider yet? I would love to see an
entry for it on your browser reviews page. The URL is
http://mandragon.org/raider/. It aims to be lite and be like konqueror
without the file management/desktop hogging/etc.

I wanted to try it today but I didn't want the 33mb of cruft from a
debian install of a kde-libs, so I've set out compiling qt and kde
with my minimalist options. This takes a lot of effort of course, so
I haven't finished yet.
