Cheetah web browser

The Cheetah web browser is a project that has been started to Create a fully functional, light-weight, bloat-free web browser for Linux (and other free unix Clones) that is not dependant on KDE, GNOME or Mozilla. Why another web browser? There are a lot of web browsers available for Unix and all of them that I have tried are great. However, I have yet to find one that truly satisfies my needs. This is what I require in a web browser: * It must not require another more developed web browser, such as mozilla, to operate. It can certainly use code from another web browser (providing the application`s authors permit that), but the code must be included natively in it`s source, or in a shared library that comes with the browser. For example, I do not want to have mozilla installed to use my browser. I am using my browser not mozilla. * It must not depend on an entire desktop suite. For example, if I use icewm I should not have to install kde to use my web browser. * It must be extremely fast and provide an enjoyable browsing experience (duh). * It must provide only the ability to surf the internet and download files through http and FTP. I do not want my web browser to provide the means to send/receive e-mail, compose web pages, Chat on irc etcetera. I have other programs to do that. When will Cheetah be usable? I don`t have a roadmap layed out yet. I won`t have one for awhile. It all depends upon how many people are willing and have the time to contribute.
