    Can you give a browser suggestion that isn't Safari, Opera or Chrome then?

    Chrome is a wannabe,
    Safari has an issue with loading old content when coming back to a web page (so does IE)
    Opera is bloated if you ask me, just like Firefox.

    Arora I just tested out, never heard of it until now. Benchmarked on Peacekeeper, and its benchmark did better than Firefox 3.5, but only by a bit, even though on average, Arora should have a lower benchmark score than Firefox 3.5

    Is arora in the ubuntu repos? If not, I can't waste time on building it in Ubuntu. (GetDeb.net doesn't have any debs.)

    Kazehakase

    It's extremely fast, and if you set the UI level to "expert", very feature rich. It's also very stable,
    and I have yet to encounter a single webpage which it doesn't render correctly.

    Midori

    this is a relatively new browser which sucks right now, but might get better since it's still in early development. (it's quite unstable now...)

    Right now I recommend every one to use kazehakase, you can install it via add/remove programs

    Ouch! I have rarely had any trouble with Firefox, if at all.

    If Linux is Firefox, then ReactOS is a combination of Opera and a script which deletes random shared objects from your hard drive, in other words, no one uses it and it doesn't work very well.

    Disclaimer: I have used ReactOS, this is from personal experience.

    And I have used Opera and it's a fantastic browser which people do indeed use. But I guess each to his own opinion.
