surfDude is a very fast, very small WebKit-based web browser. It's currently in early development but can already perform most browsing tasks quite admirably. It is currently in its fourth alpha of 0.1.
Here are some key features of "surfDude":
Multiple windows
Links from other applications (Mail.app, etc)
Web icons
Google searches
Downloads
It uses nothing but standard system elements and is very theme-saavy - This means if you apply a theme to your system in ShapeShifter or other theme program, surfDude will automatically match without any extra work by the themer or user.
What's New:
Icons in search field menu and user agent menu.
Optional home button and corresponding menu item.
New icon.
Interface options split into its own preference pane and partially redesigned.
Opacity slider in the Interface preference panel now has a minimum of 0.2 to prevent windows from completely vanishing when inactive.
Slightly better support for "https://" URLs.
"ftp://" links and URLs should now be forwarded to your default FTP client.
Stripped some dead code, cleaned up active code.
Preliminary work on the bookmarks menu started.
Bug fixes:
External links (links in Mail.app etc) should now open in surfDude when clicked if surfDude is the default browser.
Links in pages that open new windows should now do so.
"Open in New Window" in link contextual menu now functional.
Status bar text should now act more consistantly and more as expected.
