Need suggestions for an alternate browser

MicroCRAP did it again! Every damned time it "upgrades" windows it screws up my system and Google Chrome crashes and won't start, etc.

My only alternative is IE which MicroCRAP has so loaded with trash that it is basically unusable.

I finally got Chrome to work, but had to go through the whole "system restore" crap again so I would download Chrome, again for about the 4th time.

I would like to install a second browser so when MicroCrap screws up my system again with their 30+ "critical updates" I can pull up a browser that actually works. Last night, it took IE more than 10 minutes to actually complete a search.

Suggestions, PLEASE????

On Windows machines I've used Firefox since about 2002, and Chrome since about 2008 or so, with very, very few issues. I haven't used IE since, beyond a scant few times, and I haven't bothered with Opera or any of the others beyond a quick look here and there.

Already found Opera, running it now. This way I have an alternate browser when microCRAP screws up my system, again.

3 times now they have "updated" my system and trashed Chrome. And without a backup browser it is a royal pain to recover.

Ah, earlier question answered.

I'll address it there.
