“Arora: Arora is a Webkit based browser written with the Qt UI
framework. It’s surprisingly fast and pretty full featured. Arora
has many of the features we expect in a modern browser, such as
Flash blocking, ad blocking, private browsing mode, a bookmark
manager, a history manager, privacy controls and even the Webkit
inspector. Arora also runs on FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows, and
Haiku. One downside to Arora is that it is not updated nearly as
often as Firefox or Chrome.

“Epiphany is the official web browser of the GNOME desktop. It
is a very easy to use Webkit based browser with a simplistic user
interface. In fact, Epiphany is like the granddaddy of simple web
browsers, delivering a simple user interface years before Chrome
came on the scene. The browser is very speedy and polished,
offering more features with each release. Epiphany makes a great
alternative to Firefox and Chrome!”
