When I set up for a corner while under braking, my ass crack is pretty much at the edge of the seat. I get off the brakes as i start leaning the bike in, and I'm back on the throttle some as soon as i'm off the brakes to keep the suspension set. I'll steadly accelerate through the corner and depending on the corner, i'll be at 1/4 to half throttle, gradually moving to WOT between the apex and exit. adjustments through the corner to the throttle can help you in the same way that trail braking can if you do it right. if you do it wrong, then you may be looking at new scratches on your bodywork. but the same goes for trail braking.

my advice to riders, don't try either until you are comfortable with them. And practice these different techniques on the track where its a controlled environment rather than on the street where there are so many variables.
