Try arora on Archlinux!
This is my new “daily” browser for now. It is based on Qt’s WebKit new integration and started as a demo. Still pretty limited, it doesn’t include support for Flash or Java, nor any plugins/extensions (which is a feature in my case, as I prefer launching another browser whenever I really want it).
It depends on Qt 4.4. As the qt44 PKGBUILD has been removed from AUR, I decided to provide binary packages for both. Arora itself is available as arora-git on AUR (I use it). I compiled them for x86_64 and i686. As this only makes 4 packages and I don’t want to “officially” maintain them, I didn’t make a repository.
You can find everything on my server, and install them with pacman -U. Please notice qt is less patched than Archlinux’s version, and doesn’t include support for any DB except sqlite.
BTW, use at your own risk! But feel free to report any problem.
Edit: I am now working on the integration of nsplugins, which would mean support for flash and java.
Edit 2: Qt 4.4 is now available in [testing]. Local packages deleted, and AUR PKGBUILD marked deprecated. arora-git moved to [community].

Has there been any progress concerning the integration of nsplugins in the meantime? Because if Arora would support flash and java, it could probably become my everyday browser.
