How do they compare with supposedly fast chrome-based ones below?

Not forgetting  Qt Web Browser - which is (under Windows) makes an excellent second choice i.e. just fireup and loads in seconds.

QtWeb is a fast, lightweight and portable browser with some unique UI and privacy features. QtWeb is an open source project based on Nokia's Qt framework (former Trolltech) and Apple's WebKit rendering engine (the same as being used in Apple Safari and Google Chrome).
Now available for Windows, MacOS X, Linux and Unix for Intel platforms!

Will it run under TC? - don't know.

In my view opera9 (for everything with frames, javascript and flash) and dillo (for everything sane) are the best.
And I hate chrome.

+1 for Dillo

Doesn't work on all sites, but for the many that it does work on, you often get an better version of the page (IMO) than with Firefox, for example.

QTWeb for Linux works absolutely fine with TC.  Also tested it with Flash Player plugin - absolutely no problem.

A nice and fast browser that renders all websites that I've tested perfectly but it is not really small (14 Mb binary).
