Shiira
Shiira is a web browser written in Cocoa. It uses the KHTML rendering engine provided by Apple's Web Kit. Since this is the same rendering engine used by Safari, HTML content rendered by Shiira will look the same as in Apple's own browser. The goal of the Shiira Project is to create a browser that is better and more useful than Safari.

Looks and feels great, does almost everything my Safari does after a bunch of addons, except not crash. Unfortunately, on leopard, it seems to crash on me every 5 minutes, especially if I use the tab expose feature. Would be great if it were more stable.
