Shiira, a free web browser for the Mac based on Apple's Web Kit (the rendering engine used by Safari), is inching closer to the 2.0 mark with
Shiira 2.0 beta 1. The biggest change in Shiira 2.0 is the brand new user interface, which includes a "Page Dock" with thumbnails as an alternative to standard tabs, floating transparent "HUD Panels," a full-screen "Kiosk mode," and a "Shelf" for managing bookmarks, etc. The web site makes a point of saying, "This is unstable preview release. Use at your own risk." So indeed, use at your own risk.

I'd use Shiira as my main browser in an instance if they just finally fix that annoying text encoding-bug where no matter what text encoding I select I keep seeing Japanese characters.

You can get the nightlies from the side bar at PimpMyShiira - but beware of using the tab bar in the latest!
