    Or even better... Light (a lightweight version of Firefox, fully compatible with addons and much, much faster): http://sourceforge.net/projects/lightfirefox/

    Opera... meh, it sucks. I've been using it for years but now...

      Unfortunately I don't even know if you can still call this software 'Opera'. It's certainly nothing like the Opera I used from version 9 to 12.

      I've switched to Seamonkey with various plugins (Secure Login, Mouse gestures, NoScript, Torrent client, etc) to bring it up to Opera 11.64-like levels of functionality. Works fantastic for me and I've never looked back

        It is impressive to read that a webbrowser supports bookmarks... I really prefer chrome, however on wheezy/mesa 8 + intel the latest ppapi flash crashes all the time.

          Has nothing to do with mesa or intel, crashes because it required a newer libc than wheezy has to offer.

          Im still using Opera 12 now and then, chrom(e|ium) still feels sluggish and unfamiliar after years of use

            Ah, interesting to know, but a bit weird, i only use 1 wheezy install anymore. Adobe should not require a newer libc6 than the browser itself.

              Yeah, it actually displays most websites correctly and javascript works properly. They seriously fucked it up.

                    Firefox uses its own Gecko engine. It's the only large browser using it, though it's also in a bunch of smaller products. (Siblings like iceweasel, weirder browsers like Wine's replacement for IE, thunderbird for HTML mail, a handful of other things).

                      It's kind of unfair to say they "finally support bookmarks", though. Opera 15+ has always had ways to store an URL for later, the only new thing is that they've added a bookmarks manager with nested folders and such for the minority of users that maintain large collections of bookmarks.

                      Their interface choices in 14+ were based on their usage data from 12, which showed that a massive majority of users never used more than a couple of bookmarks. With that in mind, the focus on the speed dial makes some sense; it's a perfectly decent interface for a modest number of favorite sites. They also had Stash from the start - basically a list (without folders) of bookmarks with optional previews. Of course, it's possible that the heaviest bookmarks users were also the most likely to opt out of submitting usage data.

                      edit: They also added a bookmarks bar (with, I believe, folders?) at some point for people that wanted a couple of sites readily available as buttons. Even without a bookmarks manager it covered a decent enough set of uses.
