The Surfer web browser [1] is now multi-widget, and offers a lightweight implementation using GtkHtml [2] and GNet [3]. Just like the file browser [4] and the text editor [5], It also features an embedded mode, fitting smaller screens nicely.
You can safely expect packages of more and more software from DeforaOS [6] to be released as soon as I can manage it. They will be available at least for Debian [7] and the Openmoko Freerunner [8], through the hackable:1 distribution [9].
Some packages are already available in the opkg format [10], targeted for the Om2008.x distribution.

FWIW the older incarnation of Surfer was found here:

This code may be useful to create a WebKit-based widget for Surfer.
