[Hara Ra]

These days, every time I look at web sites, my machine gets loaded with an 
insane amount of adbots and spybots, even on innocuous sites (hah!) like 
dictionary.com. The last straw came when my Google Toolbar vanished, along 
with the popup killer.

I've tried Mozilla, and it has two characteristics I loathe. First, I 
couldn't get it to open new windows for each Google search items I click 
on, so I often have to redo the search, second, Mozilla, like AOL, seems 
set up to stick to the my system like glue or stepping on gum (or more 
odious sidewalk stuff)

I'd like clues for a rather basic browser, one which will let me use 
Explorer when I want its fancy features, but most of my browsing is fine 
with no music, animations, etc, just static pages.

Any suggestions? And where to get them? Many thanks.
