I have been using Opera for many years since 6.x and except occasional page rendering issues (normally due to IE-centric coding on many sites), it has been my favourite because it is stable and fast. However, there is no doubt that Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Firefox is strong with a wide range of plugins available (that you previously mentioned).

Opera is still my favourite on Linux, although occasionally keyboard will be locked up probably due to some windowing toolkit issue (i.e. Qt).

Google Chrome also loads fast on my system. Often lighter compared with Opera so I tend to use it more often on Windows these days.

wayv

wayv(1) 						       X Windows application							   wayv(1)

NAME

       wayV - capture drawn shapes (gestures), recognize them and carry out associated actions

SYNOPSIS

       wayv [configuration file]

DESCRIPTION

       A  user	is  able  to  setup  wayV to recognize gestures and associate actions with these gestures. When one of the gestures is inputed and
       matched an action associated with the gesture occurs, e.g. startup a program, send keypress', etc.

       The gestures are created via a 2 dimensional input device, in most cases the standard mouse.

       The gestures should be unique symbolic representations of the actions they represent, i.e. draw an N and Netscape starts, draw a circle and
       Opera starts, draw an > and the keypress' to switch desktops occurs, etc.

FILES

       wayv.conf
	      is  the required configuration file. It is used to configure the user interface, what gestures are recognized, what actions are per-
	      formed, etc.

       DEFAULT.wkey
	      is an optional configuration file. It contains the keymaps for keycode, see HOWTO-wayv-keymap that comes with wayV.
