A Better Browser?

Hi all..

I have been using Windows ME for about 4 years now without a problem and
like it alot..
but I'd like to use a different browser besides Internet Explorer. I seem to
get lots of error msgs on it now..
and more recently an "Operation Aborted" message, even during something
simple like going to Google.
I was wondering what is good browser to use with Windows ME?
Someone told me Opera, then someone told me FireFox, but I dont want to
start installing all
kinds of stuff then have problems later on or conflicts with other programs.

I also saw one called "Avant", I've never heard of it before and was
wondering also if
anyone knew anything about it?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.
