Any other browsers than Opera working on Native OS?

I'm wondering if anyone has managed to compile any other browsers than Opera Mini to work on the native OS?
I'd quite like to design some HTML5 pages to be served locally with weather info, news, calendar events etc. but need a fullscreen browser window to achieve this - Opera's fullscreen still has the controls showing.
Many thanks,
James

I don't think so but I'd be glad to be proved wrong. Even later versions of Opera Mini don't work on the native OS. It sounds as if your project might be better suited to one of BuZz's distros.

I've had Chromium running full screen on a custom Ubuntu build before. You could grab sqpOS, delete SqueezePlay and install chromium-browser. No on screen keyboard, though.

Thanks for the ideas! How resilient are the linux builds? Ideally I'd need something happy without being shutdown gracefully like the native OS - dont want to risk corrupting the installation

My mother has a joggler running my last xubuntu build (with ext4), set up as a photoframe plus some media stuff. she switches it on/off at the socket and it's still fine afaik.
