I have liked FF, but it is also becoming bloatware. I just want a simple and secure browser. No plug-ins, no BHOs, no active updates - just simple, safe and fast.

Yeah, right....
It you want the ultimate in anti-bloat, try Links (similar to Lynx):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/links

All text browser, and it is very fast.

Best,
