I have a box that I want to keep as secure as I can but I also need to
be able to use a graphical browser from it (I know that this is a
trade-off).  

There is no graphical browser in base.  I don't need or want this
browser to do javascript or flash (I have a different box for
entertainment).  Of the browsers in packages, which browser would people
think is likely the most secure?  

Here are my assumptions on the issue:

Firefox development is focused on new features to keep up with the
latest web sites and technology.  I don't know if they have time for
super security in the midst of that.

Konqueror seems to have fewer security updates but still seems to handle
any sites I need (from my other box).  I don't know if the fewer number
of security updates is because it is better written or it doesn't get
looked at as much.  This is my normal browser, except for one site that
doesn't work (due to invalid html on the site).

elinks or links are lightweight and work fine (no tabs though).  Get few
updates.  Don't know the security quality.

dillo.  Also works fine, but I haven't seen an update in quite a while.
Don't know if it continues to get security audits up-stream.

Any suggestions?

Doug.
