   The new builds of Mozilla are getting very good.  I've switched to it as my

I have it installed for pages that need it, but it really eats a lot of memory. I use lavaps and mozilla uses more memory than anything else. I can't even listen to .oggs in xmms while mozilla is running.
I'm looking for a good browser (I wish that galeon would be available as a .deb now that mozilla is gpl [or is it yet?]. Alternatively, galeon could be released with exceptions to it's license. Though I haven't tried galeon yet, perhaps I won't like it at all, time will tell.)
I use lynx for almost 90% of my surfing and I do use Amaya occasionally.
I'll try konqueror in the future as well. Gah! Those "k"-names... blecch imho. (No offense to kde-coders, code is separate from style and design.)

Some friends of a friend are working on gtkhtml2, an html widget designed from scratch to be compatible with the new standards (such as css). They are working on a for-pay basis so they will be finished in the near future. It seems like a really nice project. They haven't released any code since they work with the cathedral method of small, dedicated teams, but the code will be released under the GPL later.
