A few more oddballs come to mind:

iCab was a favorite of mine before the switch from Classic Mac OS to Mac OS X. I made heavy use of its ability to save offline copies of open web pages (with all embedded resources). http://www.icab.de

OmniWeb, on Mac OS X was very pretty for its time. (It was originally developed on OpenStep.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OmniWeb

NetPositive was bundled with BeOS. I only used it briefly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetPositive

I was going to mention iCab. I’m also reminded of Apple’s CyberDog[0], which did more than just web browsing.

Sometimes I'd like to see an alternate reality in which OpenDoc (and with it Cyberdog) really took off. I really liked the concept, but all the practical uses were really rough around the edges and somewhat slow, just like Cyberdog.

iCab is still available for iOS, and it's a great browser on the iPhone. It does have a lot of features, making it somewhat complicated, though.
