You can have a look at Midori, for which we have a package in
Buildroot. Another alternative is to use the WebKit rendering engine
built-in with Qt and develop a small web browser in Qt with a few lines
of code (there are many examples available on the Web), or even to
compile a simple Qt-based web browser.

Best regards,

Thomas
