I am a Firefox user, but I am not really satisfied with how much memory it tends to use up. Also, its pop-up blocker is less than perfect. I have always been tempted to switch to Opera, but an Ad-Free Version costs $$$. HOWEVER, today it is FREE. So I recommend you give it a go, I haven't yet, but might as well.
Description:
Opera is an Internet browser with a pop-up blocker, multiple-window navigation, mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts, an e-mail client with a spam filter, and integrated search for user security and speed. The cross-platform browser includes a multitude of other functions, such as IRC-compatible chat, support for RSS newsfeeds, a password manager, and one-click customization and privacy-protection settings. Mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts allow for accelerated Web navigation while the Fast Forward and Rewind buttons ease browsing. Users can run multiple windows as well as personalize the user interface with one-click skins. The browser also contains special elements for users with disabilities, drag-and-drop support, a notes function, user profiles, and a host of other features. Opera supports the latest in security and provides password and cookie managers.
Opera 8.02 includes security upgrades and smaller bug fixes.
