With what you wrote above - no, no options.

It sounds like you dump software as soon as you encounter any annoyance.
Wouldn't it be wiser to workaround them, since annoyances (or small bugs)
are always part of everything? I guess writing a browser could teach one
to live with bugs...

I am sure you can disable those popups in opera (or stay with 9.64 for the
time being, if you like opera).

What kind of I/O activity do you see with Firefox? How do you measure it?
I don't see any problems on my side.

What sites were incorrectly rendered with webkit?

Also, there's dillo. Small and fast, but no CSS floats, no javascript.
