I don't know of any "good guys" whatsoever that ever managed to build and maintain a browser. Anyone?

Maybe one day we'll have a usable FOSS browser but I doubt it (the companies will fight tooth and nail against it including legal means, buying out companies, blocking content for them, etc.).

I think the guys that built WebKit originally (Konqueror) are kinda good guys. I still sponsor KDE with a monthly donation <3 But the browser wasn't really kept up, I don't think they had the money for it. It lives on in Safari though.
