That's about the third time it's been recommended and I've kept meaning
to look at it. I've been installing it for ages. Just loaded it up and
from the name was expecting a graphical curses browser but was rather
pleasantly surprised. Time to keep an eye on the source and try to find
out how likely it is to avoid exploits that affect firefox. (with
javascript disabled, theres no point striving for the impossible)

Just looking at the library's and memory usage I'd probably have to say
close but I'm not yet sure if it get's the cigar. Looks like it fits
it's intended anticlutter and maximum screen real estate intentions but
it would be nice if security was one of it's main aims. It does appear
to be a third of the size of firefox though :-)
