Best Linux Browser Poll

Palos

I just want to know which one comes on top, in terms of font support, mouse wheel support, correct display of webpages, ease of installation of Flash/Shockwave/Java, etc. . . . I personally didn't like Mozilla, after I installed Java, the text in Javascript menus was more than unreadable, crappy size and quality.
