I've used TaxACT for a number of years and really like it. For $20 you get Federal, your state and electronic filing. The instructions are clear and easy and every form is covered. It remembers everything from year to year so there's no need to reenter standard information.

As in TurboTAX the interface is Web-based but I don't remember it ever installing anything I didn't want. Of course I always have the latest IE version installed anyway. I use other products that require IE and since it's now at least as good as the others and the browser wars are long over, I don't waste hard disk space storing redundant browsers.
