Very simple and small portable browser for web application

Question

I am developing a web application for localhost use (using Server2Go) and want to pack it with the browser application.

I've tried a lot of browsers; TheWorld browser is good but it has the Internet Explorer core.

I'm looking for a really small and simple browser but not Internet Explorer-based - it should be compatible with all standards.

Any suggestions?

Assuming you're using windows, there's a few options. You can use chrome in application mode - possibly with a portable version of some sort, or mozilla prism - one uses the chrome engine, the other gecko.

Prism hasn't been updated in a while so in future, you might want to replace it with chromeless once its ready.

Have a look at Pokki. Looks very promising.

QTweb (http://www.qtweb.net/qtweb.html) is a very light Webkit-based cross-platform and portable browser, it can be very easily customised to become chromeless (using the .ini file with the executable, it's an interesting option for desktop-like app)
