On my quest for lightweight browsers I found this gem

http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

Why choose NetSurf?

Speed


Efficiency lies at the heart of the NetSurf engine, allowing it to
outwit the heavyweights of the web browser world. The NetSurf team continue to squeeze more speed out of their code.


Interface innovation


Simple to use and easy to grasp, NetSurf significantly raised the bar for user interface design on the RISC OS platform. Designed carefully by RISC OS users and developers to integrate well with the desktop, NetSurf is seen as the benchmark for future applications. NetSurf pioneered the concept of web page thumbnailing, offering an intuitive graphical tree-like view of visited web sites.


Lean requirements


From a modern monster PC to a humble 30MHz ARM 6 computer with 16MB of RAM, the web browser will keep you surfing
the web whatever your system. Originally written for computer hardware normally found in PDAs, cable TV boxes, mobile phones and other hand-held gadgets, NetSurf is compact and low maintenance by design.


Portable

NetSurf can be built for a number of modern computer platforms 'out of the box'. Written in C, with portability in mind, NetSurf is developed by programmers from a wide range of computing backgrounds, ensuring it remains available for as many users as possible.

Standards compliant

Despite a myriad of standards to support, NetSurf makes surfing the web enjoyable and stress-free by striving for complete standards compliancy. As an actively developed project, NetSurf aims to stay abreast of new and upcoming web technologies.

World anyone be willing to port it for maemo?

lonk, you don't need to port it. NetSurf works quite good on easydebian (wheezy).

From Netsurf web-site:
https://www.netsurf-browser.org/about/
"People also use NetSurf on other handheld gadgets, such as the Openmoko mobile phone and the Nokia N810 internet tablet. NetSurf's full page scaling abilities help it to make the best use of a small screen."

Is there really Nokia N810 version? What version and where?

I think it is used the same way as with N900: through EasyDebian as chroot.
