    Which alternative to firefox suck less?

    I have setup a guinea pig Jaunty, on VirtualBox, with all the extras stripped, as my programming platform.

    I'm looking for a lighter replacement to firefox that crash less and compatible with majority of websites. Which one do you recommend?

    Please note: I prefer stability than a bunch of features in this regard.

    I'd recommend Swiftfox, it's firefox with all the suckiness sucked out.

    I know you said no Fx but did you give the 3.5 beta (Shiretoko) a shot? It seems a lot lighter on resources and less buggy (probably the main issue).

    Epiphany for lite weight and Seamonkey for plenty of features and rock solid performance.

    It's friggin ugly (the icon itself), but you can start Opera without the trayicon
    Code:
    opera -notrayicon
    You can add that to the launcher and never see the trayicon again.

    Perhaps none as rich as Firefox, but there sure are some you could try out; Epiphany/Opera/Swiftfox.
