What about Galeon? I've found it fast, reliable and easy on the eyes. It's basic and does the job, but you need a running build of Mozilla for it to work.
Used to be that whenever I dropped back into windows for
compatibility reasons I would realize how much better IE
was than mozilla or netscape. But now that I have Galeon
I feel hampered in IE. Sort of wish there was a way to
get the Gecko rendering engine w/out Mozilla though.
