I don't like Epiphany, but some people swear by it. Right now, I'm
using mozilla, which actually seems to work quite well (which is
somewhat odd, seeing as when I first used it, it was incredibly
slow... Seems that they've made great strides with it). Galeon is also
very nice, but some of the keybindings I dislike and I don't know if
they're possible to change.
