Replacements for Firefox and Thunderbird?

[R C]

what do you mean?

I mean, firefox is 'just' a browser, thunderbird 'just' an email client, 
and both are used and setup to work in isolated/disconnected networks 
even. There is no way for them to control content reliably, nor 
practically. Also, they are both open source, if something were "built 
in" to check/control content, it'd be ripped out, disabled etc. by users 
etc before you know it? The *nix world has always (well for as long as I 
have been around) been more 'independent' than other groups when it 
comes to freedom of speech, anonymity etc.

Kmail and Evolution both both want to pull in a lot of dependencies, and I will not touch Gmail (or anything Google) in any way, manner, shape or form. Can anyone recommend a lean e-mail client and a browser that does not 'phone home'?
