suggestions for alternative to firefox

[Brandon Blackwell]

 I've been having a lot of trouble with it locking up every once in a while at random. I got rid of all of my extensions and still had the same thing happening. And it doesn't happen on particular sites but just anywhere. Also it tends to raise my cpu load when its running. I may just be running into some bug with the lastest version but I'm not for sure because I can't remember when it first started doing this to me. I've already reinstalled it once to no avail also.

much for Opera, but I know a lot of people who enjoy it. There's also  
Epiphany, and Konqurer (sorry if I misspelled something, I've been  
swimming and the chlorine has gotten to my eyes).
