TkWWW is pretty nice, if you don't mind it barfing on images (:-P). It doesn't just not display them, it doesn't display alternates either. It's more an editor than a browser though it can be used as a browser. Chimera looks good, but at least the version I got doesn't work. It displays the HTML instead of the formatted text, even for its own error messages. Phoenix is beautiful, but painfully slow. City University HTMLview has an Imakefile that seems to depend on some stuff the standard Imake config doesn't provide. Viola is supposed to have a non-motif interface but it needs some porting work and it has an even weirder build structure than the usual WWW software (oh WHY did Cern set things up so strangely?)
