Linux Applications: Part 3 - Web Browsers Posted: 13 Feb 2010 08:00 PM PST There are many different web browsers available for Linux. These include Firefox and Opera, but not Safari nor Internet Explorer; however, a Linux version of Chromium (the open-source browser on which Google Chrome is based) is in the pipeline. A number of less well-known browsers are also available for Linux. In this post I will list a few of these. Epiphany This is the web browser for the Gnome desktop environment. It uses the WebKit layout engine, as used in Safari. Flock This browser specialises in social networking facilities and is based on Mozilla Firefox. Konqueror This browser also doubles up as the file manager of the K Desktop Environment (KDE). It uses the KHTML layout engine from which WebKit was developed. Midori This lightweight web browser also uses the WebKit engine. It is now part of the XFCE desktop environment project. Swiftfox Like Flock, this is based on Firefox and is my browser of choice. It is a lightweight browser optimised for various processors that supports Firefox extensions and plug-ins. |
