  [ianorlin] I would like to add qupzilla to the discussion as is Qt based without KDE dependencies.
  [israeldahl] +1 qupzilla.  It works very well, and is VERY lightweight, but has occasional problems.
  [DoctorJellyface] My vote goes to Otter Browser. It's Qt, lightweight, and it's based on Opera 12, so it's awesome. Also the support is very quick, but it's still in Beta.
  [silverlion] I'd +1 qupzilla. Using it already in 14.04 and 14.10 with only little crashes and an out of the box Support of flash-player-plugin.
  [Arcesson] +1 qupzilla. Qt5 based, quite stable and fast. I'm using Qupzilla since a year or so and ist just has little problems with some pages, but this is propably caused by not having an installed flashplayer.
  [tsimonq2] I like Qutebrowser.
+ [gilir] Adding qupzilla for now, looks like the best intermediate option for now
