BumperCar. This one is for children, and the most expensive one: 49 bucks! =-o

What's Trailblazer?
I bring order to chaos. You are in chaos windows, you are the contradiction, a bug wishing to be an OS.

A Webcore-based browser with some nice history functions.

Interesting. Of course the total goes up if you add the X Windows web browsers.

Let's recap, shall we:
Code:
Camino: Undercooked. Firefox: Undercooked. IE: Abandoned. iCab: Underpowered. Mozilla: Bloated. Netscape: AKA Mozilla OmniWeb: AKA Safari Extreme Opera: A Mess. Safari: Apple. Shiira: (I have no idea!) Trailblazer: Concept showcase. BumperCar: "For the children." Lynx: "For the CLI-lover."
OmniWeb probably has the best potential since the open source movement has a severe usability brain-drain.

It seems too many developers don't grasp that a light-weight and efficient browser doesn't mean it needs to be feature-deprived. Or that feature-rich has to mean bloated.

I'd actually call Shiira "Safari Extreme Lite"

And nobody loves BumperCar? It seems to be Omni-based...
