Your call.
I hear this objection. I sympathise with it somewhat. I also do not
run (or particularly care for) GNOME (WindowMaker is my preferred
desktop). That said, I run and love Galeon, and would strongly suggest
you give it a look. It just gets so many things _right_.

...and with Debian, handling the deps for Galeon is a breeze. Support's
been rock solid for the past two years, no breakage that I can recall
(this wasn't always true).
Peace.
