I remember back then when I used Kubuntu, I love Konqueror because I can hit Ctrl and all the links would be highlighted. I just need to type the letters corresponding to the link and Konqueror would take me to that link. I love it because I didnt have to use my mouse or touchpad. Recently, I discovered that Firefox had a similar feature, and it made me love firefox even more.

Even more recently, I was introduced to Conqueror, an emacs-like web browser. Everything is keyboard-based! It looks cool, but don't know how compatible it will be with say a download manager. Everything else should be working since it is based on the same web engine that runs firefox! Installation instructions for Mac OS X can be found here.
