Yup, that one was certainly big for a while! KHTML and its whole menagerie of browsers competing to be more "minimal" than the last.

I think the web has stabbed that one dead, though... ship a proper HTML5-compliant browser engine, and, well, you're already looking at a whackload of startup time and tons of functionality. The size of the chrome is hardly an afterthought nowadays. A really "minimal" browser can hardly browse the top-ten sites anymore.

(Wikipedia's still looking pretty good in Lynx, though... just checked.)
