midori is a lightweight WebKit-based browser that will become the new browser for XFCE. The latest version is extremely fast, though I wouldn’t recommend it for daily use yet as it’s still a little unstable.

There is a Debian package in unstable which you can install it on testing if you also download the libunique package from unstable. The requirements are rather minimal–GTK+, WebKit, and libXML–so it’s fairly easy to build from source. On Debian, just install libgtk2.0-dev, libwebkit-dev, and libxml2-dev and run ./configure and make.
