Opera.
I've tried Mozilla binaries once and it was the biggest clunkiest slowest "monsters" I've ever installed. Granted, the pre-compiled binaries may have had all sorts of debug/development code switches turned on, and had I an ounce of patience, I might be able to compile exactly what I want. But for an end user that uses IE, I just don't think Mozilla is a ready-to-go option as Opera is.

I used to used Opera ( a couple of versions ago), but FR didn't render some things correctly, and other sites also had problems. I've heard they've improved it since then, but now I've just gotten used to Mozilla.

I tried Opera 3 times, mostly because I kept hearing how great it was. I have yet to see its greatness. I've used Mozilla for 2-3 years. I recently upgraded my Mozilla to 1.4. I'll take Mozilla any day. They keep adding features. and it gets better and better every time.

Opera has good inheritance control of child browser windows, and you can have graphics turned on in one window and off in another. I use Mozilla, mostly right now. It renders more closely to the de facto standard, IE.

I use Pheonix (now called "Firebird") a Mozilla spin off--kind of "Mozilla lite." Works very well, with all the key features I want from Mozilla, and none that I don't.

Another Opera bump!
It's nice to use a browser that knows how a cache is supposed to work, unlike IE.
