are there any other non-bloated browsers out there? I need something strictly for websurfing...no email, no IM, no calender... non of that crap.

Opera 5 is really good.

It has problems rendering certain we pages, namely this one. :)

another vote for Opera 5.0 it rocks. opera has all the standards, its the webpage that is wrong not the browser. some sites are made specifically for IE or Netscape :---(

I agree with DAM, pages that have problems usually dont go by standards, and IMO thats just lazy a$$ programming by the webmaster.

Hafta say AT works fine for me though using Opera 5.02, but it worked on 5.0 and 5.01 as well.

Opera rocks!

try using stylesheets or frames with opera...they show up really nice (right!)
javascript is sketchy at best...its fast but if you went by ONLY the standards nothing would get done...nice browser and all but since you have IE already loaded and NutScrape sucks...why not just take all the extra crap off the toolbars and just leave what buttons you want? then it is only browsing...and of all the browers I use it loads the fastest...and it supports most of all the newer technologies...and MY pages mostly work in Opera but I like to try new things and do new things...Opera normally doesnt support it...
