QupZilla is a lightweight and modern web browser that implements all standard features, as well as extras like a SSL certificate manager, search engine manager, themes, speed dial, extensions, AdBlock, GreaseMonkey, mouse gestures, access keys navigation, a command-line interface, and more.
Cross-platform (Linux, OS/2 and Haiku OS) and, despite the name, the program is not Mozilla Gecko-based: uses the WebKit core and Qt Framework used by Safari and Chrome.
Alternatively, QupZilla Portable is stealth, portablizes paths and bundles the required Visual C DLLs.

Been testing it often since my first post as a secondary browser and it looks too unstable (crashing) for any serious use. Will keep testing.
V1.3.1

In my very unscientific testing, the program starts up quickly and does use radically less memory at than most other browsers (54 megs) but with just a few tabs open it quickly balloons to 120 megs (around the same that most other browsers use).
Still, supports do not track which Chromium has abandoned, looks like it's under active development, and seems pretty solid (doesn't crash). Looks like a strong secondary browser with maybe some hope of pushing into the primary spot down the road.
