Just got done taking Midori for a little test drive. Still under "heavy development" and "tends to crash due to bugs in WebKit" but I really like what I see thus far. Finally a modern lightweight alternative to the bloat that has become Firefux... Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this puppy:-)

webkitgtk library has too much glitches to be seriously used for now. It doesn't even handle correctly focus or menus, but still quite promising.
We are in a big debt with the webkit/gtk developers as webkit is good and pushes Mozilla to think further.
However, I personally wonder if I'll abandon vimperator for such an "improvement".

Interesting... although I think they will still be friends. I hope FF starts to use Chrome's JavaScript engine, it's the ONLY multi-threaded engine.

This was a difficult one
 
This was a difficult one.

Recently I found myself tired of having my browser use all my CPU so I decided to let go functionality in the name of performance.

I now use Epiphany and I barely miss any functionality and frequently use Links2 when I don't care about rendering.

I still have FF handy for the odd situation.

All in all I voted Epiphany.

firefox 2 is smooth. In time firefox 3 might be the best choice, at the moment I don't see the advantages.

michalspd 02-03-2009 03:30 PM

only Firefox:)

FireFox all the way.I don't even have to close the webpages I use almost everyday anymore.I load fire fox and it loads all my pages.

Matt-23Y 02-03-2009 04:34 PM

Thanks for tip, i didn't kow that. I mostly use Firefox, because it is default browser with Ubuntu, and best for XP, IMHO.
But Seamonkey got my vote, because it seems faster.

ProDigit 02-04-2009 09:10 AM

FF....

rerushg 02-04-2009 10:10 AM

Hard to vote against FF but IMHO Opera advanced a lot this year. I'll give 'em my vote for the good progress. SeaMonkey's not bad either.

Chose FireFox or Seamonkey
