surf
surf
surf is a simple web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+. It is able to display websites and follow links. It supports the XEmbed protocol which makes it possible to embed it in another application. Furthermore, one can point surf to another URI by setting its properties. You can navigate by clicking on links on the displayed page. Hit Ctrl-g to enter a new URL. Compile your own webkit or expect hell. The packaging of webkit is purely insane. Surf uses upstream stable webkit2gtk by default, but the previous version based on webkit1gtk is still available as a branch. surf is actively developed. You can browse its source code repository or get a copy with the simple commands. Adblocking is a non-trivial task, but there are trivial solutions. The gethostszero file can of course be reused to create the /etc/hosts file. A cronjob can be used to update the file and run hosts-gen again.

jumanji
jumanji
jumanji is a highly customizable and functional web browser based on the libwebkit web content engine and the gtk+ toolkit. The idea behind jumanji is a web browser that provides a minimalistic and space-saving interface as well as an easy usage that mainly focuses on keyboard interaction like vimperator does. The customization of jumanji is be managed via a configuration file called jumanjirc. The jumanjirc file is a simple plain text file that can be populated with various commands to change the behavior and the look of jumanji. Each line besides empty lines and comments (which start with a prepended #) is evaluated on its own, so it is not possible to write multiple commands in one single line. It is possible to map or remap new key bindings to shortcut functions which allows a high level of customization. jumanji offers more options to be changed and makes those changes permanent.
