Xenocode takes a different approach. And it works with other applications including Safari, Internet Explorer, and other desktop and web-based apps like Google Talk, Gimp, and Adobe Reader.

Or you can download a single executable file for some apps and run them from your hard drive or a USB flash drive.
Some of the web browsers are a bit on the old side.

But if you're looking for a way to try out a browser or another app without installing it first, Xenocode is worth checking out.
