Alternative Browsers

Alternative WebBrowsers to the usual MicrosoftInternetExplorer or NetscapeNavigator.

There are many TextModeBrowsers.

AlternativeBrowsers using a GraphicalUserInterface:

GeckoEngine browsers:

• Beonex (http://www.beonex.com/)
• Camino (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/): A fast browser for MacOsx.
• EpiphanyBrowser
• GaleonBrowser and others
• K-Meleon (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/)
• MozillaBrowser: Other GeckoEngine browsers are more lightweight than this original uber-browser-beast.
• MozillaFirefox: Originally Phoenix, then Firebird, then Firefox, now rumored to be the next MozillaBrowser. Light-weight, fast, tabbed browsing, active developer and tweaker community.
• NetscapeNavigator: Since the late 1990s, Netscape is an alternative browser (to Explorer, that is). Netscape has been Gecko-based since version 6.

Other notable browsers:

• AmayaBrowser
• Arachne (http://arachne.cz/): "a fullscreen graphical World Wide Web browser, which is currently available for DOS-compatible operating systems and for Linux/SVGAlib platform."
• CharonBrowser comes with and runs under the virtual InfernoOs, the entire download is 57MB -- you're likely to have more RAM than that!
• Dillo (http://www.dillo.org/): "small and fast browser based on the GtkPlus toolkit"
• Emacs/W3 (http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html): You can actually browse the web using EmacsEditor.

• OffByOneWebBrowser "may be the world's smallest and fastest web browser with full HTML 3.2 support."
• OmniWeb? (http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omniweb/): A good browser for MacOsx.

• SafariBrowser: A browser from AppleComputer, great features.
• GoogleChrome
• MidoriBrowser - very fast, lightweight browser based on WebKit?. It's in develomental stage, but already usable.
