Thought I'd start this forum out with links to web browsers. Again, feel free to add to my list or give your comments on which one you like the best. :)

Galeon
http://galeon.sourceforge.net/
Description: Galeon is a GNOME Web browser based on gecko (the mozilla rendering engine). It's fast, it has a light interface, and it is fully standards-compliant. You can download it but first take a look at some screenshots and read additional documentation (installation...). It requires Gnome and Mozilla.

Konqueror
http://www.konqueror.org/
Description: Konqueror is the file manager for the K Desktop Environment. It supports basic file management on local UNIX filesystems, from simple cut/copy and paste operations to advanced remote and local network file browsing. Konqueror is the canvas for all the latest KDE technology, from KIO slaves (which provide mechanisms for file access) to component embedding via the KParts object interface, and it's one of the most customizable applications available. Konqueror is an Open Source web browser with HTML4.0 compliance, supporting Java applets, JavaScript, CSS1 and (partially) CSS2, as well as Netscape plugins (for example, Flash or RealVideo plugins). Konqueror is a universal viewing application, capable of embedding read-only viewing components in itself to view documents without ever launching another application.

Mozilla
http://www.mozilla.org/
Description: Mozilla is an open-source web browser and toolkit, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. Mozilla.org provides binaries for testing and feedback.

Netscape
http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/default.jsp
Description: Who hasn't heard of Netscape? A nice browser..... check it out. Netscape offers many plug-ins to enhance the web surfing experience.

Opera
http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/
Description: Opera...my personal favorite browser.....regardless of the operating system. With Opera for Linux, the Internet is now even more convenient. Opera 6 for Linux provides you with the speed, flexibility, features and security that you demand from a Web browser, while integrating seamlessly into the Linux environment.

I use Opera 6 (proud to be a Norwegian Smile

) and think they have a great web browser. I downloaded the beta version of Opera 7.1 from their ftp server, and was amazed by the new look and features. Still a few bugs in it though, but worth a try.

If you want to try it download from ftp://ftp.opera.com

Embarassed

A small correction...Opera 7.10 beta is excellent. I first installed the rpm version, but after installing the tar version instead it has been great.

I use Opera 7.10 BETA 1 for Linux! Very Happy

Awesome browser. I can now fly right through the web. This browser does not get in my way. Wink

I use Netscape 7.02! It is the sweetest browser in Linux! It is almost exactly like Mozilla, except with a few more features and an easier to use multi-tab interface. The open new tab is the first option as opposed to open new window as it is in Mozilla.
After using Mozilla, Opera, and Netscape...It seems that Netscape loads pages faster than Opera(so did Mozilla) and it looks better(it is not as cluttered looking).
I recommend everyone give Netscape a shot...I think you will be mildly surprised...and if not...well, you can always switch back to your preferred browser!

My Favorite browser is Mozilla Firefox. I love the way the browser is made. I like Konqueror but Firefox is the best of them all. I've used Opera and it didn't like me too much so I switched back to Firefox.

Firefox Now

I use Mozilla. I prefer the completeness of it, compared to firebird. I have all my cookies and bookmarks set up, as well as my customised keywords - like for dictionary/thesurus.com as well as google, astalavista etc. Phoenix (or FireFox as it is now unless they've changed the name again) is coming along, but as I say, I like the completness and support for mozilla.

I use Mozilla here.
And for those that still use IE and have not switched yet to Linux, look at the
101 things that the Mozilla browser can do that IE cannot.
