Sure, GTK is C-only, but WebKit (even WebKit-GTK; WebKit is written in C++, even if its widget bindings are written in C) isn't. It seems silly to ignore a hugely important component of a web browser in its description.

Well C/C++ then. Doesn't realy matter to me.' There isn't any higher level languages like XUL, Python, Mono, or whatnot being added to the mix, which was my point. Should be very lightweight and being GTK should work well in other minimalist environments and XFCE.. no big Gnome or KDE dependancies required.

I tried Midori out, and it uses much less memory than Firefox (half or less), but it's as slow or slower, at least rendering and scrolling. It also doesn't render all pages correctly, so all in all it has a long way to go.
