Web browser!
http is only a one file transfer protocol, personally I find that using wget works great

Hmmm... I'd like to see what kind ov results this survey would get if it were taken now. Seeing as it is four(4) years later.
Besides, a new browser has joined the scene: Chromium/Google Chrome.

Dillo, Puppy current default web browser, has a nice display, but it can't run javascript, the client side scripting required by many sites. So I can't use Dillo for my daily browsing.

Midori can run javascript, and still light and fast. Although I may won't use Midori for something related to security thing like online-banking*, I can use it for my daily browsing.

So I think I'll vote for MIDORI, but it's not in the list ^_^'

*for 2 reasons: (1) I don't know about its security, using Big Browser like Chrome or Firefox is wise (2) I don't know how to do online-banking

I don't have an answer to this question as I like to have at least two browsers on my machine at any one time. Usually I have one of the Mozilla browsers (Firefox or Seamonkey) on, and Opera as well, because I think Opera handles downloads better.

I'm impressed by the private tab feature Opera has, where you can choose not to leave any trace of your activities when opening a new tab.

These days I'm tempted to install a lighter, non-Flash or Java browser such as Dillo too because a lot of web pages now take a long time to load otherwise.

I don't think there is a best browser. I use Opera for streaming video, because it seems to be more stable with less hickups. Chrome gets used for everything else

For multi-device syncing, Win and Linux (which is the reality for many), travelling and home/office purposes, Google chrome seems practical solution to many issues, once set up. Thanks to those updating the puppy chrome versions.
