Is Mozilla or Galeon better? Galeon uses mozilla's rendering engine, so does it make a difference. It seems to be cooler to me. Any problems. Please write any pros/cons.

There truly isn't much a difference, mozilla seems like netscape, while galeon is more a gnome kinda thing...

But me personally i use Galeon for some reason...

When I fist used Linux, I went with Konqueror for the first two weeks, than switched to Galeon, and never looked back.

You mean there are other things out there than Galeon???

I actually followed GTK sorta, went with konqueror for while, then switched to Galeon.

Recently I "dorked" my Galeon up though, and have been using Mozilla for a while. There are subtle differences, but I prefer Galeon, and want to get it back up ASAP.

Cool

IMHO the biggest difference between browsers is not whether it has galeon or mozilla on the nameplate but how it was complied.There are huge difference between the binaries from the distros that can slow you down.

which one is faster?

Well for me galeon loads with an ease, not even making a sound while loading, but mozilla has that slight lag...both of these broswers were straight from my mandrake 8.2 disks...

Faster for what?? Loading, or rendering images, or browsing local files, or what?

Faster at loading (for at least 3 of the distros I use(d)): Galeon
Faster for rendering images: the same
The rest, pretty much the same.

So for speed to be an issue with these 2, I guess it'd be initial loading of the browser, and I think Galeon wins that. The rest of the differences are aesthetic, and that's personal choice. Nobody should be able to tell you which one looks nicer to you, that's a personal choice

Cool

I know this doesn't exactly address the question, but I think it's relevent.
I found phoenix to my liking. It's a super fast (even the precompiled
binary) browser only built off of mozilla, by mozilla people. It's fast in
browsing and in loading. phoenix doesn't come with anything but the
browser (no mail, html editor, nothing but a web browser), so for me it's
perfect. Of course, phoenix is still in beta stage, so. . .

There is that big discussion at the phoenix forums about phoenix or IE being faster right now.Which is by the way the fastest browser I got.
Anyway - there is so much to consider for normal browsing that I wouldn't dare to make a call between galeon and mozilla.A year ago galeon was much faster but now?
When you call up a page that has to load first of all.The d/l speed differs the route the d/l takes might not even be the same.Then you might have some java in there which works better or not on the browser.
If you are interested in pure rendering speed the best test would probably be to d/l a big webpage and call it up from the file with different browsers.
