Internet? I remember that....

lizvogelI still don't have viable internet from home. It seems I need to find a new browser as well as new anti-virus, and jeez. I tried the latest version of Opera, and OMG do I hate it. "Visual bookmarks" -- who thought that was a good idea? And it won't even import my bookmarks correctly, despite them being exported from a previous version of the same program. Thought I might just give in and run Chrome, despite it being Google and therefore intrusive and obnoxious, but I want a menu bar, dammit! And Firefox turns my laptop into a doorstop -- even when it's not running. (Yes, I know that makes no sense. However much of a train wreck a browser may be, it shouldn't have any impact when it's not up. Still: before Firefox, computer runs along reasonably happily. Install Firefox -> constant lock-ups, computer unusable. The math isn't hard.)
I'd stick with the ancient version of Opera I've been running, but there are more and more sites that just won't load on it. Time for a change, but change shouldn't have to mean massive loss of functionality.
Anybody got a recommendation for a browser that has "old fashioned" menus, bookmarks you can actually work with (Anybody remember Netscape? Yeah, like that.), runs on WinXP and will register as a "modern" browser for sites that care about such things?
