I'm currently using Konqueror which is a sort of file browser come webbrowser and pretty much a standard tool on Linux boxen. It can use most Mozilla plug-ins and rip cds to ogg, flac, mp3 etc. as well as other stuff.
As a pure web browser it's almost as good as Mozilla/Firefox or whatever we're supposed to call the free version now, but is marginally faster. It provided (most of) the code which the OS X browser uses.
I've always found Exploiter to be a dog, but there are morons who still write non compliant html and javascript for it. They will burn in hell. I know Exploiter comes "free" with Windows (and that folk are still lazy enough to use both) but why use a condom with a hole in it when you can get real ones for free?
