Browser of the Year

Mozilla is big and bloated. Firebird beats the crap out of it. Galeon does too.

Do you get any extra plug-ins with firebird or galeon? If so tell me about them..

With firebird you can download extensions

Maybe I shall get firebird.. how do I go about uninstalling Mozilla and Konqueror..

Although I have a soft spot for Konqy, I voted for Mozilla Firebird. Why? It's fast, it's Gecko, it's purdy, and it functions almost the exact same all across the OS board (including single-clicking instead of double clicking to select the URL in the location bar!) Good work mozilla!

I like Opera

$39 is too much for me right now for a web browser...

Mozilla.

If I want lightweight, I'll use lynx. ;-)

Although, perhaps I'll check out Mozilla Firebird. I really haven't given it much thought.

I tried getting the rpm for firebird, yet I could not find one for Red Hat..

Shachaf · 01-09-2004, 07:42 PM

Mozilla Firebird.

sxa · 01-10-2004, 01:05 AM

I am going to take another shot at getting firebird one of these days...

Well... I think I would be a Konqueror voter. It's simple not too overweight with graphics
and does what I want it to without complaining.

Just download the tar.gz and untar it to where you want it. That's it, no make, no nothing.

A year ago I would have said Opera. 6 months ago Mozilla. But now It's Mozilla Firebird/Phoenix. Fast, light, customizable, tabbed browsing, and Open Source.
It definately opens faster for me on both windows and linux.
My only beef is importing bookmarks/favorites--Konqueror does a much better job of this, able to import, and export, everything I threw at it.

I am not sure how to do that...
