What is xombrero?
xombrero is a minimalist web browser with sophisticated security features designed-in, rather than through an add-on after-the-fact. In particular, it provides both persistent and per-session controls for scripts and cookies, making it easy to thwart tracking and scripting attacks.
In additional to providing a familiar mouse-based interface like other web browsers, it offers a set of vi-like keyboard commands for users who prefer to keep their hands on their keyboard.
The default settings provide a secure environment. With simple keyboard commands, the user can "whitelist" specific sites, allowing cookies and scripts from those sites.
It is ISC licensed.

Said about xombrero as an alternative
Cyrille I hardly ever found Midori so light. Confirmed since I started browsing the Web with Xombrero: same layout engine (WebKit), lighter (and much much lighter in the 'Whitelist' mode).

For everyday browsing Xombrero has became my browser of choice --in whitelist mode [1]. It loads 40 pages session in third the time Chrom* takes and "blows" up a mere 200-220 MB of RAM for that. Makes the little Intel Atom netbook feels like a sport car, and is a battery saver :D
I made an infographic to compare a few browsers consumption of time, RAM and load to load my 40 pages
[1] Xombrero whitelist acts like a simple NoJS.
