The new beta of Opera 10 has all of the skin changes by Jon Hicks. Definitely better now and even has visual thumbnails for your open tabs. You might be interested in trying out Opera.

I like the easy bookmarks and tabs and the way it seems to be understated and in the background rather than in your face. Not too bothered about 'Top Sites' but I love the history in cover flow - my top feature! I think you will quite like the new Safari 4.0.

I run Firefox, Chrome, IE7, Safari for PC, Opera and Flock, with IE6 on a spare laptop next to me for occasional testing. Generally I go with Firefox for the extensions, with either Opera or (more usually) Safari when I need two instances of the same site with different logins active. Chrome's good, but somehow doesn't do it for me. Might be worth trying Safari, see how you go with it. Short answer, no there's not.
