I would say qupzilla for a light browser with most functuality of a 'normal' browser.

Without regard to"lightness", I'm pasting some further alternatives from my current shortlist of additional viable (IMO) opensource browsers for linux.
You've already dismissed qupzilla, yet it sits top-of-list.

Code: Select all

qupzilla
http://www.qupzilla.com (150+ forks)
https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/issues

Otter (QT5)
http://otter-browser.org 
https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser (100+ forks)
https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser/blob/master/CHANGELOG
http://im9.eu/album/otter-browser (screenshots, older version)
http://thedndsanctuary.eu/index.php?board=9.0

Liri (Qt 5.5 + QtWebEngine)
https://github.com/liri-project/liri-browser (25+ forks)
https://github.com/liri-project/liri-browser/issues

Dooble (QT5)
https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble (4 forks... and a spoon)
http://dooble.sourceforge.net (screenshots)
https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble/blob/master/Documentation/RELEASE-NOTES.archived

SeaMonkey
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.38/contrib/seamonkey-2.38.en-US.linux-x86_64.README
+ Greasemonkey Port for the SeaMonkey Browser http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmport

NetSurf (lacks full HTML5 support)
http://www.netsurf-browser.org
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/progress.html
http://listmaster.pepperfish.net/pipermail/netsurf-users-netsurf-browser.org/

Fifth  ( FLTK + webkit v1)( no flash support, no plugins/extensions)
https://github.com/clbr/fifth
http://fifth-browser.sourceforge.net/propaganda.html
btw: I'm not implying that the"number of forks" strongly correlates with a project's viability (or the app's usability, eh)

Suggest you give Seamonkey a go, I found I liked it better than Midori, but I still rely on Firefox/Iceweasel myself.

Give it a try and let us know. Only you can decide which one works best on your hardware.
