My two favorite non-firefox browsers are xombrero and qupzilla.

Xombrero used to be called xxxterm. Not sure what it was called in Jessie by 
the time Jessie was released. I always have my sources.list set to "testing" 
rather than any of the nicknames, so I'm never quite sure what a nicknamed 
version of Debian had in its repositories when it was released.

Anyway, xombrero is a different kind of browser designed to be controlled 
entirely from the keyboard. Depending on your preferences, it might work for 
you. It's very fast.

Qupzilla is new to me. It got installed when I decided to drop Xfce and switch 
to lxqt. It is extremely fast, maybe the fastest graphical browser I've seen 
-- at least on my systems.

Hope you find something to suit you.
