If I'm going to use Webkit, I'd rather use something simple, like midori. Standard issue on the Raspberry Pi.
Chrome complexity? Browser controlled by commercial entity that sells web ad space? No thanks.

I will always choose simplicity over complexity if I'm concerned about security. Chrome is very complex.
Disabling images is a feature. It adds complexity. Yet you're using it as an example of how Midori might allow you to be more secure more easily.
It's the same situation with some of the complex features of Chrome that Midori doesn't have. It's not as simplistic as simple vs. complex, it's a more complicated cost/benefit tradeoff.
