Is there another well-featured web-browser that is _not_ integrated into
a desktop environment?
Thanks,
Doug.
Dillo is frozen right now (http://www.dillo.org), so I don't know if
it'll accomplish its goals any time soon, and if eventually would
attempt to accomplish others'... Opera although non open-source, but
free, seems to be like the only alternative to gekko derivatives,
supporting same features like multi-tab, java, flash, https, etc.
I don't understand your comment about iceape being big. Actually I
have installed its browser only, so one doesn't really require the
whole suite (except if the non-free java-sun 6 package is to be used,
since its dependency is buggy, it requires the whole suite instead of
just the browser). Also ice* is not desktop dependent, I have its
browser installed and it works nice in plain fluxbox and plain iceWm,
so I don't see how it can be considered desktop dependent...
I'm sure you'll get better and more pertinent replies, even for the
opera vs firefox never ending war. If you'd like to have java
support, https, and occasionally flash, then I don't see lynx, links,
dillo, etc, supporting any of that. Hopefully I'm wrong... As I
didn't like Opera not being open source I decided to stay with iceApe,
but there might be news out there I'm not aware of, :). I don't
consider opera, neither iceApe integrated into any desktop
environment, but again (they work with any, and without it) it depends
in what I consider as desktop environment...
