Linux: Browser Wars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-never-ends dept.

Anderson Silva writes "LinuxToday has an article doing a pretty basic comparison on some of the major linux browsers. Although a nice article, and with a fair result, I still think Opera is the best browser available for Linux." I prefer knoqueror, although recent builds seem to have random hangs on images.google.com.

    that Microsoft has optimized IE with Windows, using closed source binaries and tweaks only they could ever do being as they wrote the bloody operating system.

    Mozilla, Netscape, Opera haven't had that wonderful advantage, which is one of the reasons the Justice Department wanted it separated into two companies. Personally, I think a few bits of source should've had to have been released to these browser companies. Microsoft's upper hand is in knowing the environment to its fullest extent, and indeed tweaking that environment to suit their browser.

    THAT is why MS Internet Explorer isn't worth a mention; they cheat.

    Obviously commander burrito, or whatever his/her name is, doesn't read the articles before posting them. For a number of reasons pointed out by other readers, this article is crap and doesn't deserve the slashdot-effect that it is receiving.
