I'll have to check it out but ony you might want to check out is Phoenix

It uses Mozilla as well but doesn't require you to install Mozilla. Its
lightening fast and has all the same capabilites (plugins, tabbed browsing,
popup stopping) but does not have the Mail and News capabilities. Since I used
seperate applications for my Mail and News I just needed a light and fast
browser. Here's the kicker, it works great on both Linux and Windows. I even
have the Microsoft zealots ot my job loving this browser, especially since they
saw all the stuff IE stores secretly:

Give it a try though, I have a feeling you will definately like Phoenix as I
only use it primarily now and since it has plugin support you can use all the
cool features you usually use in Mozilla.
