Actually I dont ever want to use Java in a webpage. I hate java applets.

Most people forget or don't realize there's another, far superior, version
of IE out there, the Macintosh version (as you mentioned below). This
version of IE truly is the best browser ever made. The most standards
compliant of any browser for css, html and javascript. MS has no "special
access" to the OS, they make Apple apps just like everyone else does. Apple
enforces a strict set of interface guidelines, which miraculously MS
follows. It's fast, stable, intuitive just overall excellent. When Linux
gets a browser like this (and they're getting there) I'll be very happy.

I think Mozilla has the most potential of the Linux browsers. It will become
a great browser before the others IMO. Konqueror is also nice, but renders
some pages rather poorly.

I dont think that's true anymore, at least with web browsers. Netscape for
the Mac has basically always sucked. Netscape 6 for the Mac didn't even work
when they first shipped it. IE for the Mac was great from the beginning, and
most noticed. Mac magazines have been praising IE for a long time now.
