If that's the case, then you really need to check out the Opera web browser, which happens to be a nice alternative browser.  It may end up becoming your favorite, because it is very fast and features unique and picturesque graphics.

Opera is sort of at the low end of the top-tier of web browsers.  It's been around for years and is feature-rich, but it suffered for a long time because the company that created it tried to charge money for it.  Opera does have a loyal following though.
