With some caveats,
www/xombrero is nice. My morning routine is to check the news, BSD sites and suspect webmail and Xombrero does this quickly and efficiently.
Setup is easy. Copy
/usr/local/share/examples/xombrero.conf to
~/.xombrero.conf and edit it to set home page and browser preferences. You can block javascript, flash (-> /dev/null) and autodelete history on closing.
I enabled javascript. I can periodically delete session history with
<alt+h> and accumulated cookies with
<alt+j>.
<ctl+t> opens a new tab and
<ctl+r> will refresh. It supports rotating useragents and your choice of search engines. The authors are OpenBSD contributors.
The syntax for Bookmarks
~/.xombrero/favorites <alt+f>is simple

The only downsides are that it starts but does not finish loading websites on i386 systems with limited memory and the
/usr/local/share/xombrero/xombrero.css had a bug that upstream fixed after the ports freeze. The fix is to replace the file with a current one from the projects git repository. On my modest amd64 5.7 system with 4GB ram I can make it core dump watching a long HTML5 video on youtube. This also happens with FF.
