I've just been getting slowly annoyed with Firefox over that last several weeks and have finally decided to look for an alternative. The problem is I've become dependent on some extensions and a few other things in Firefox. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for browsers that can do all in the list I created below.
spell check
tabs. Even IE has them now so surely there aren't many browsers that don't unless they are really light weight.
ad blocking capabilities as easy and good as the adblock plus extension
a good download manager. I use the DownThemAll! extension. I don't need one just like it but one that works at least better than the default Firefox has with no extensions.
open source preferably
A bookmarking system at least as good as what Firefox has and the ability to put bookmarks in a toolbar.
something that works like that showcase extension. This one isn't a must but it would be nice.
good JavaScript control. I don't know if there is anything like the noscript extension for anything else but that's what I'm looking for. So JavaScript isn't just on or off for everything but where I can choose which sites can use it.
A spot for me to search Google with. A figure most everything has this anyway. But I do know I don't like how seamonkey does this so I don't won't something that handles Google searching like that.
flash support(basically youtube and homestarrunner support)
still actively developed
Not a must but an undo closed tab feature. And just having history won't work because I often don't remember the name of what I was just looking at when I want to undo.
As fast or faster than firefox.
Thanks in advance for any feedback,
