A Better Browser?

Hi all..

I have been using Windows ME for about 4 years now without a problem and
like it alot..
but I'd like to use a different browser besides Internet Explorer. I seem to
get lots of error msgs on it now..
and more recently an "Operation Aborted" message, even during something
simple like going to Google.
I was wondering what is good browser to use with Windows ME?
Someone told me Opera, then someone told me FireFox, but I dont want to
start installing all
kinds of stuff then have problems later on or conflicts with other programs.

I also saw one called "Avant", I've never heard of it before and was
wondering also if
anyone knew anything about it?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

The constant "nagging" can be turned off by removing the check in the
"default web browser" box located here -
IE = Tools > Internet Options > Programs Tab
FF = Tools > Options > Main
Opera = Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Programs

SM should be the same as FF.

If I knew for sure, I would have said "SM is the same as FF", but I'm glad
to have pointed you in the right direction so you're able to locate it.

Research for what? I was responding to your "nagging me" complaint. You must
be confusing me with the OP.

Maybe you want to have as look at this, before adding another browser:
