If you meant other OS's like Windows, then that's not true. Just wanted to let you know after I seen that in the notes.

There are many lightweight webkit browsers for Linux, my favorites of which are Arora and midori. Also, Galeon is a decent lightweight Gecko browser. And in a twist of fate, Seamonkey (Iceape for you Debian users :) is now lighter than Firefox! Some other lightweight browsers with their own rendering engines are hv3 and NetSurf.

We will see more and more browser choices and 'flavors' & for that I am truly grateful to our friends @ Mozilla. As a matter of fact, designer browsers are already in use. (i.e. colorful tabbed browsing, International clocks on the browser, blogging from inside the browser,... ) the list goes on, as does the innovation.

Formerly the Mozilla Suite, which traces its lineage clear back to Netscape, which in turn traces itself back to the NCSA Mosaic browser, Seamonkey is rich in tradition, stable in function, and it carries a slightly smaller executable footprint than either Opera or Firefox, but not quite as small as the minimal browsers mentioned. Also, for those who complain about Konqueror, I do not know how often you use it or how recently you have tried it, but both the KDE 3.5.9 version and the KDE 4.1 version not only load well in KDE but they render very closely to what you get with Opera and only slightly slower than the fastest browsers, definitely in the same league. To get some sites, such as Google and Yahoo to work right, you do have to set the browser to behave like Mozilla, but that is easily done and the results are quite good. For me, I still use Mozilla Seamonkey the most on Linux systems, Firefox whenever I can on Windows, Internet Explorer on Windows when I have to only, and Konqueror and Opera on occasion. I do use Dillo from time to time, but I may also end up using lynx or elinks if I am in the mode of using something really small. I have tried Ephiphany, but I do not find its chopped down features to really gain me very much, and I tend not to use GNOME based systems that often, and that is where you most often run into Ephiphany. The Galeon project did not seem to work out all that well, and if there is still a project active, I have not recently used it to find out more.
