I don't use Opera, but I heard that was built on QT 4.  There is a QT
4 branch of Firefox these days, not to mention Konqueror, which works
multi-platform as well.  Oh, and QT ships with a built in
multi-platform browser built in Webkit, since Webkit is included in QT
4.  QT 4 handles multiple processes quite well, and multi-threading,
built in.  QT 4 has a built in javascript engine, or can use other
engines.

I believe Aurora is also built on QT 4.  I find it hard to believe
that Opera, Firefox, Konqi, QT Browser, Auroa, etc. can all built on
QT, and that Chrome couldn't.
