Oh there is a lot my friend.
I tried Midori as Dan mentioned it.
I actually like it, but some aspects i don't like, which is mainly the look,
which reminds me a lot of when i used netscape. I'm sure it can be modded, it seems to be open source,
and i don't like certain things are done, i guess it's a getting used to thing, but it's very clean (bit sterile),
quick and everything is sorted, you can change the major things like the fonds, character encoding,
and i think you can turn off pictures, you can make it delete cookies after you close it.
So it got the basics and some more, but everything very down to earth and with a purpose which i like.
It also got a netscape mode - no xx--xx, and it's turned on, couldn't be bothered to try it without right now.
But i bet it's one of the quickest things around if you turn off pictures, and even with it's darn fast.*/**
If you look for something really stripped down you try lynx it's text only.
Screenshots at the bottom.
I'm using palemoon right now, how can something with such a xx--xx name be so good?
It really is nice, it's quicker then ff after i practically re-seted it, with the addons/plugins.
So far i only got: adblock, fxif, personas (i'm a visual person), stumble and greasemonky.
Plugins are a bit more plentiful so i will not list them.
*well, why don't i use midori then? It just doesn't appeal to me, mostly a visual thing,
and how things are done, for example i can't use the buttons on the side of my mouse to go back or forward,
but otherwise a really nice little browser, and i had fun trying it.
**i should mention that my connection also is quite quick.
I know i can get up to 25/5, maybe the server had a bad day.
