Web Browser Shootout

|

Although it's a foregone conclusion for most Windows users to depend on the ubiquitous Internet Explorer (especially if they've tried the last adware Netscape releases), Linux users remain a fragmented lot when it comes to browser choice. Personally, I haven't settled on one -- I just use whatever's close at hand.

For those who want to pick a single Linux browser and stick with it, Rob Valliere has published an excellent Linux browser comparison. He examines Konqueror, Mozilla, Galeon (Ximian's Mozilla-derivative) and Opera, both subjectively and in terms of raw performance. I guess I'll have to take a closer look at Galeon for use on lower performance machines -- the memory requirement of KDE make employing Konqueror expensive, especially if you've already got the Gnome desktop loaded.
