http://fifth-browser.sourceforge.net/ Its an FLTK webkit browser… probably the most lightweight webkit browser as well.

It also happens to emulate opera’s UI to some degree. It does however lack some modern web features such as html5.

I’m having more hope for Otter – it’s closer to the classic Opera UI than both ChrOpera and Vivaldi.

In reply to bamdad.

it’s just a rehash of old opera on webkit – nothing really new.

I really enjoyed old opera for the speed – a Pentium 3 could feel modern browsing the web, but they threw it away to be a Chrome clone…

In reply to calvin. firefox is a resource hog because the mozilla guys are much more into arbitrary ui redisigns, ideological bollocks and marketing instead fixing bugs. vivaldi is refreshing and intuitive. i'd love to see them opening up the source code, though.
