I bought a raspberry pi the other day. My kids showed zero interest so far, but maybe they are too old for it. For the web, on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say it was crap, but that's mainly cos I tried netflix and it couldn't even navigate the site in any usable fashion. Too old to waste hours on it. The raspberry pi cluster is cool though.
Only just started using Opera so a bit disappointed if that's going down the tubes. It feels faster than firefox.
Firefox fairly often freezes on ebay login on both my 7 and xp boxes, and the machine then needs rebooting to use firefox again [ending the process doesn't fix it].
K-Meleon is a nice idea but a bit spartan.
On my retro boxes [up to athlon 1.6ghz] I use an old firefox where I can. But I would only visit sites I need to.
My mac 5500 used to be my main email/browsing/ebay box. That's not been realistic for 5+ years now - way too slow and the browsers it could run cxan't keep up with content..
I would not browse very much on anything below an athlon xp or equivalent, and even then not as a main machine.
