Ha! I may not need to do much after all: I was just looking through 
Wikipedia's giant list of browsers, found a few that looked potentially 
promising, tried them all and...well, was mostly disappointed. But the 
*last* one I had left to try I've been really impressed with so far:

Arora (Qt/WebKit)
http://code.google.com/p/arora/

I've only tried it breifly, but the UI is *actually nice*! Only modern 
browser out there with a UI that isn't absolutely horrid. I didn't even see 
*one* instance of invisible-text on my light-on-dark system, which is 
unbeleivavly rare among all software these days.

And it has a lot of essential stuff built in, like ad blocking, disableable 
JS, and a "ClickToFlash" which I haven't tried out yet. There's still a few 
things it seems like it might be missing, like equivalents to NoScript, 
BetterPrivacy and maybe DownloadHelper and DownThemAll, but most of those 
are less important to me, and even as it is right now it's a damn good 
start. Maybe I could add some of that remaining stuff, or heck, maybe even 
port the whole thing to D ;)
