Firefox continues to be the best web browser on every platform I've used
it on.  If you're pissy about the looks, install Vimperator or
Pentadactyl and get a minimal vi-like interface... that still shows the
URL.  I believe you can combine it with the "download manager tweak"
extension to get a download manager that isn't baked in to the damn
navigation toolbar.
