Keep an eye on rekonq. It's making fast progress and I hope to prepare the 
update /  package of the new version (0.4) this weekend, as soon as it's been 
released. I think they got caught up in a small delay, it should have been 
released this Tuesday.

Here's a the changelog of the features included in 0.4:

* moved to kdewebkit (this means based on kde 4.4)
* kwallet support
* KIO full support (cookies, cache, proxy, network)
* file: & ftp: protocol easy handling
* improved rekonq pages (in the about: protocol)
* multithreaded url resolver (hopefully, no more UI freezes)
* adblock support, first part (load manually links, for now...)
* improved fullscreen mode
* embedded inspector (A-LA firebug)
* first kget integration
* optional "clickToFlash" feature
* tons of bugs fixed
* ... (wanna more??)

Their plan is to become the default browser for KDE by version 0.6. Chakra 
even made it their default browser already. :)
