AFAIU, Plug-in support is *not* part of Gecko, but a seperate issue. It's not fully (or even partially?) implemented in Galeon yet. Galeon sucks in different ways than other browsers. I happen to be pretty happy with the rendering quality of Netscape 4.x, though stability and memleaks suck. Mozilla just plain doesn't do it. Konqueror would be good stripped of a few KDE issues, such as the floating title bar. Actually, last I tried it, it just plain didn't work on one of my systems. I run an older PII-180/96M at home. Galeon works, but it's not as lightweight as some would have you believe, and stability varies greatly. I'm finding text-mode browsers more and more attractive as time goes by. Primary limitation with them is the ability to spawn new windows easily. w3m is my preferred choice. -- Karsten M.
