I'm not an expert, but for my purposes, Mozilla is the best browser on Mandrake 8.2. (Mozilla 0.9.8 comes with Mandrake 7.2 -- if you didn't install it originally it should be fairly easy to install from the rpms.) Mozilla 0.9.8 has a few problems -- I do a lot of work on a TWiki and edit "textboxes" from the browser. Occasionally the insertion point wants to be stubborn and go somewhere on it's own and needs to be coaxed back. Also occasionally, the browser gets stuck in a "scrolling mode" such that the page scrolls vertically as you move the mouse vertically. Tabs are nice -- if I'm working on a topic and need several browsers open, I open all the necessary pages on different tabs of one browser "instance". Unfortunately, the browser instances are not totally separate -- I have had two "crashes" of a Mozilla instance, in both cases it closed all the open Mozilla windows. Mozilla 1.0 may or may not have solved the problems listed above. (But surely created some "new and better problems" ;-) ) Randy Kramer
