Another early browser is MidasWWW. I found some code dump or something a few years ago and tried to build it[0] and after a few modifications to fix some C stuff that i guess at the time were accepted by compilers, i got it mostly working. The main issue (as can be seen from the image) is the main bar placement - from what i could tell the browser was made using a modified version of Motif for some workstation which wasn't 100% compatible with the "standard" Motif. The fix would probably be trivial but at that point i had lost interest :-P.
I uploaded the modified code to Mediafire[1] some time ago when someone asked for it, just in case you want to try compiling it yourself. Note that most of my changes were quick hacks to get things compiling, not proper fixes. The dates in the archive indicate the files i modified. The original code can now be found at GitHub[2] (though i'm not sure if it is the exact same code i used myself - looks similar enough though).
