Linux Web Browsers Compared

Rob Valliere writes: "The best Linux Web browsers have dramatically improved in the past few months: they are all stable, standards compliant and loaded with solid feature enhancements and additions. Using Red Hat 7.2 and the KDE desktop, the premier Linux browsers are Galeon 1.0.3, Mozilla 0.9.8 and Opera 6.0 TP3. The best Web downloads and installs were from Opera and Mozilla, which have minimal dependencies. Galeon is a small download but can be difficult to upgrade due to its Mozilla and GNOME dependencies."

It rocks, except for a few JavaScript nasties.
No, it's too slow to be usable, and it doesn't render half the pages I try and view correctly. Hell, even Mozilla starts up faster than Konqueror. Opera's the fastest of the lot, but I can't stand the interface, so I stick with Mozilla. Tabbed browsing and decent CSS support really make it a stunning browser these days.
