Well… I would add one option which is to port Camino to GNUstep, Camino 
is just roughly Firefox written with Cocoa, but because it uses the 
Mozilla core it relies on Obj-C++, then the possibility to port it 
depends on GCC. Anyway when FSF GCC will support Obj-C++, I think it 
would be the best option because Camino works very well, is fast and 
fully compliant with web standards like Firefox, unless you want to 
write a radically new web browser…
