Which one is faster, in your opinion?

But, Pheonix is a little more bleeding edge, so i think Pheonix.

I think the same way, also Galeon has much more complicated interface, even more than Mozilla with all the visible toolbars.

Galeon is the choice of web browser for GNOME Office, and will thus certainly be worth a look (if by default, in some cases) for a significant number of GNU/Linux users. Once the GNOME 2 build is finished, it should be even more worthwhile.

Galeon is faster.

They feel about the same to me, and I just noticed Galeon taking up a bit more memory than Phoenix was, with approximately the same content open. I'm back to using Galeon because the crash-recover feature actually *works*.

I'm really missing a lot of the Phoenix extensions, though: Nuke Image, Tab Extensions, even StumbleUpon. If only the Tab Extensions crash-recover feature would work!

The one thing I like a lot in Galeon, that's much faster than the equivalent in Phoenix, is easily migrating tabs between windows.

But, you have to have Mozilla installed to use Galeon. So is it just a "faceplate" (ala NeoPlanet in Windows)? I'm trying to get rid of some of the excess on my machine. Anyone know how to remove Konqueror?

Thanks, cdn. I use a few KDE apps, though. Makes a difference, no?

was being flippant, since Konqueror is part of kdebase, which is needed by most of the other KDE apps : )

Dammit, Jim...I'm an end-user, not a friggin' code junky! (Sorry...70's flashback.) Apparently I was veering off the learning curve, there. Thanks for straightening me out! :wink:

But if you remove Konqueror and also KDE, most of the apps in there will not work properly, something similar to as if in the Windo$$$ world, some1 tries to remove IE completely.
