I am not looking for a lot of features I guess... a browser to me is just a box that web pages come in.
The basic Firefox is pretty bare bones. And even the basic stuff that it comes with can be removed. OR you can add tons of goodies (extensions).
But again, it's security. With Firefox you will NOT be redirected to other sites and your browser settings won't be taken over and altered, like you Home Page changed into PORN FOR U.
Security issues don't affect me now. I have good, professional (not freeware) virus protection firewall that is always-up-to-date. I also keep my OS and other software up to date. Certainly choosing an alternate browser doesn't mean you don't still need to do that.
