I still prefer the integrated browser/mail client, Seamonkey. While Firefox has lots of 'goodies', I rarely use them, but I really like the ability to call new tabs from within an email message, rather than having to open a new browser window.

And what about Safari? I haven't tried it on Windows yet, but the beta Safari 4 is a giant leap above Safari 2 and Safari 3.

The great thing is Safari (WebKit), Firefox (& Flock) are all open source goodness, so feature bloat can always be easily combated by a little forking.
