It doesn't look like anyone has mentioned this alternative.  If you want to go 
totally bare bones, you can use

	xinit /path/to/binary

Maybe *too* minmalistic for a web browser, but I use this all the time when 
I'm primarly working at the command line and I need to run a single, simple  
graphical program for something.  No window manager.  It doesn't get any more 
bare than that.
