Erm, there's tons of alternate browsers. There just can't be one with it's own JavaScript parser baked in because of the ban on interpreters, and even then they said you can ask to include one in the latest round of SDK revisions.

Is there an alternative browser that does not use WebView, which handles all the html for you?? Apart from Opera of course, which is more an image viewer.

I don't think there is. There is a lot of stuff you can do with UIWebView, which is what all those other apps are doing, like blocking ads, adding tabs, storing stuff offline.
