Linux Web Browsers Compared

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the konqueror-rulez dept.

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."

    I'm not cheap, I'm a free software advocate trying to wear the Opera people down.

    Not to mention, why would you test Galeon under KDE? It's a Gnome application, for fook's sake. Ever run a Gnome app and a KDE app at the same time? Check out the insane number of services running with a 'ps aux' sometime. For that matter, why test any of the listed browsers under KDE?
