For anyone interested, here are some web browsers that are actually lightweight (if not html5-compliant) and not webkit-based: http://www.dillo.org/ http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
NetSurf actually looks good.

Even more accurately, it's a minimalist web browser UI for Electron which is an application UI for Chromium which is a fully-featured web browser UI. These people don't deserve any more Moore improvements.
If you wanted to experiment with browser UI, what platform would you choose? And who are "these people"?

All of those are WebKit-based, which was Chromium's rendering engine until recently. The rest of Chromium is primarily UI and network code, along with their sandboxing system and extensions - WebKit's "ports" have their own implementation of said network code tying into the framework that they're porting to (GTK+ or Qt, usually), and all three browsers you list use the WebKitGTK+ port. uzbl, the one I've used the mos…
Do you know of any independent rendering engines? That's something I'd truly be interested in seeing. It seems like a herculean task to undertake. Edit: Thanks very much for the links. This will be a lot of fun testing out. Just responding here to avoid triggering the anti-flamewar protection.

This is a good example of what is right with HN. Technical people expressing their technical demands w/r/t a technical project. If you want people to ooh and ahh over a project and keep quiet about its faults, show it your relatives.
You don't get it. Someone built an experiment in minimalistic UI design . "Technical people" started a massive pile-on, declaring "this is stupid, this doesn't have a minimalistic codebase at all." That's not a technical demand , and it's not identifying a product's faults. That's a demand that this project have an entirely different purpose . Personally, I use `chromium --kiosk-mode` as my everyday browser, and this…
Yeah, we're criticizing the fourth word of the very first sentence of their webpage, explaining what this is:
"Ōryōki is a small web browser with a thin interface."
There's nothing small about Chromium, and adding layers onto something doesn't make it smaller. Unless they're talking about how small you can make the browser window, it's a false claim that should have been excluded from the description.
