With all the news of Netscape 'fading off' into mozilla and its ilk, is
does anyone know if Galeon is ever going to be updated? I've tried
FireFox/etc. and there are a couple of things I've not be able to
reproduce:
Tabs...on the -right- hand side. After using Galeon for **years**, I
miss this and the 'tab' plug-in only lets me put tabs on the
top/bottom/left.
Quickloading of pages. I don't know if this is a Galeon thing, but side
by side with IceWeasel Galeon loads pages *much* faster.
Years ago, Galeon was forked to create Epiphany. A few years later,
they recombined under the name Epiphany.

I don't know how the feature-set of Epiphany+extensions compares
to Galeon overall.
There is a tabs-left extension, but no tabs-right extension as far as
I can see. However, I just changed 5 words and the file names of the
tabs-left extension and created a working tabs-right extension.
Here is the code for the tabs-left extension:

I think you can see just by looking at it how to make tabs-right.

Thanks for this, but I remember when Epiphany was developed...to be
a 'simpler, kinder' browser. Unfortunately, every time I use it, I miss
the ability to tweak it (again, I've used the same settings for Galeon
for 5+ years...).
Thanks for all the input. I'm trying to play with IceWeasel now to
make it suit my needs, but I will look at Opera to play with it.
Change is hard...
Yup. I just had a 2-week fling with KDE. *Really* configurable
(thank $DEITY, because their defaults suck), but KDE 3.5.8 is a lot
slower than even GNOME 2.14 and the KDE versions of the apps (mail,
web browsing, usenet reading, stargazing,
?
listening to music) which
I use the most are either not as fully functional or work in a
radically different manner than which I am used to using.
IMO, GNOME/Gtk apps seem to feel[*] like Windows apps. Some will
think that's Bad, but because I need to have a Windows PC right next
to my Linux box, that's a Good Thing.
Take out the PC, take out the videocard, put that into the other PC,
leave the monitor/keyboard, mouse and reconfigure xorg.conf for 2 of
each. The install the VMware Server and run Windows on it.
I run XP without servicepacks from 2001 that way. And the behavior of XP
is impressive. Gets all the displays right.
If GNOME had a more complete
and full-featured "control center" and Miguel de Icaza didn't have
his ass half-way up Bill Gates' ass, it would be the perfect DE for
someone who wants to *use* a computer instead of constantly fiddle
with it.
[*] Except that GNOME/Gtk apps know how to multi-thread, and don't
crash.
