I've been searching for browsers for a while, and I've found a few that I like: kazehakase; Not very well featured, but it's small and quick if you just need a "down to the bones" browser. links2; An amazing browser if you're really low on resources, or if you don't want to be annoyed by CSS. Links2 doesn't support CSS, but is supports nearly everything else (Javascript, for one) (But it doesn't really support most streaming formats, i.e. Flash/Video). Galeon; My personal choice for a browser. Galeon is highly customizable, and with it's "Smart Bookmarks" (Something other web browsers don't have) Galeon makes the web completely accessable. It's much lighter than Iceweasel/Firefox (Which I've noticed is really annoying and apt to crashing), without losing too much functionality. All you'll have to really learn is how to navigate through gconf-editor to edit the options in the Apps > Galeon subdirectory. And there's always chimera2, if you really need an ugly looking browser with almost no dependencies :D -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
