It would have been ready two months sooner, but Cairo had a serious bug (scrolling some pages would segfault, also affects FF and other webkit browsers), it took this long to get a Cairo release, and I couldn't exactly depend on unreleased libs.
No. The appification of the web is a completely wrong direction. JS is slow, and using it for more and more complex tasks that should be native is simply stupid. The same applies for video and 3d, putting them in a browser merely adds overhead and limitations.
If you disagree, you're welcome to use FF or Chrome.

Yes, it works on Youtube. And unlike youtube-dl, it cannot be blocked. As long as the site exposes HTML5 video, a browser will always be able to download it.
Some porn sites are incompatible so far because they add an overlay, this can be fixed by changing the buttons' CSS, hasn't been a high priority so far. Mplayer doesn't support https, and some youtube videos are served over https, so those can only be downloaded (or played if you use a different player with https support).
pmap -d explicitly excludes shared libs, try it on any process. Shared lib pages are not writable, shared lib data is, but so is static lib data. It's true it's not perfect as thread stacks are fully counted, but that means ~7mb per thread (8mb stack minus estimated 1mb needed), and no browser uses more than 10-20 threads, most use less than you have cores. Thus the maximum measurement error is ~140mb (depends on how many threads are used), not enough to explain the Otter/Arora RAM use. It's the best measurement I've found so far, way more accurate than top/other methods measuring RSS/VSZ.
FLTK is a lot lighter than gtk, and way more so vs Qt. To me function comes over form.
Yep, Opera 9.64 is to me the best browser so far, in terms of user interface; I explicitly targeted it. Opera 10 / current FF / current Chrome are worse in usability, making changes for changes' sake.

But I do have to say that the numbers he's using for RAM seem to be virtual memory - shared libs, which is arbitrary and garbage unless you turned off overcommit.
However, fltk is quite possibly the most hilariously bad choice of gui toolkit he could have used.
Yeah I think that's why the screen shots of the project site look so win95?
It reminds me of old opera 9.x
