Torii. Elegant Web Browsing for Mac.
Better Browsing
Torii is a new browser designed around an uncluttered side-tab interface. All you see in a Torii window is the browser contents, the name and a thumbnail preview of each tab, and four buttons. The address bar and other controls normally cluttering a browser window only appear when you need them.
Torii leverages the power of WebKit to provide a modern, standards compliant browser.
