suggestions for alternative to firefox

[Matthew Carpenter]

I'm fond of Konqueror.  It's based on KHTML which is what Safari uses.  It has 
many of the features you listed.  I couple it with KGET which is a downloader 
which integrates into Konqueror and becomes the default "Save As" handler.
I'm not sure what the "Showcase extension" is so I can't speak to it.

Oh, and if you hadn't guessed, Konqueror is part of KDE.  It works in gnome, 
but it integrates quite amazingly into the KDE desktop environment.
