Too Good To Ignore — 6 Alternative Browsers
bsk_cw writes "With the exception of Google's Chrome (which got attention because it was, after all, Google), most of the alternative browsers out there tend to get lost in the shuffle. Computerworld asked three of their writers to take some lesser-known browsers out for a spin and see how they do. They looked at six candidates: Camino (for the Mac), Maxthon (for the PC), OmniWeb (for the Mac), Opera (both the Mac and the PC versions) and Shiira (for the Mac)." It would have been more interesting if they included some popular open source, Linux-friendly browsers like Konqueror or Epiphany, as well.
And I thought I was stuck in the stone age using an Athlon XP 1700+ with 1.5GB DDR RAM and a dual 1GHz Pentium III 1GB SDRAM server.

Lynx? Seriously? Lynx is like the ed of web browsers. I honestly can't imagine why anyone would used lynx outside of situations in which you have no alternative, though I imagine such masochists do exist -- like ed users.
If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").
