Between 97 to 2001 I used Netscape Navigator, then I switched to Internet Explorer until Firefox came out back in 03/04 or so, used that until 2008 when I started to Chrome. I've been using Chrome ever since but I might give some of the lesser known browsers a chance however.
I tried Netscape back then but it was slow and buggy. So I switched to Opera. It was pretty much the only good browser until Phoenix (the original name of Firefox).
Before I swapped to çhrome I was using Opera and I loved the quick function. I don't know what it's called or if they still have it (they probably do) but I believe you brought up a command circle (up, down, left and right) by long pressing the right mouse. If at that point you didn't want that "parrent" command you could select the four new options until you ran out.
I found it really fast and easy to use, so maybe try that if you haven't yet.
To be honest I don't recall being blown away by anything else and that function was the only thing holding me back from switching.
That's the main feature that made me get Opera. The fact that you could click and drag your mouse to go back to a previous page, was something that blew my mind when it came to online productivity.

I have a very similar progression with browsers as you with a mix of K-Meleon between IE and Chrome.
What made me hate IE with a passion, was trying to get a web site working on it back in the days.
