Re: [newbie] galeon and opera
I recently upgraded to Mozilla 1.1 and Galeon 1.2.6 (which now supports Mozilla 1.1.x and 1.2.x). On my system, they are about as fast as Opera. Mozilla 1.2a is supposed to be even faster, but I don't feel like using an alpha-release.

Re: [newbie] galeon and opera
I find Opera fastest for most pages. It also loads much faster and is less memory intensive. On the other hand, Galeon (1.25) does a better job of rendering certain pages that are Internet Exploder optimized...Java too, especially forms (Mozilla 1.x does the best job here.) Lastly, Konqueror is convenient if you are also using it as a file manager. I find that I end up using multiple browsers. Just my $0.02.

My bank details are shown properly by running javascript. opera on the other hand complains about the script. Doesn't render the page as it should have been. Any clues! it has java enabled and jacascript enabled. -- L.V.Gandhi 203, Soundaryalahari Apartments, Lawsons Bay colony, Visakhapatnam, 530017 MECON, 5th Floor, RTC Complex, Visakhapatnam AP 530020 INDIA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Now I will agree that Galeon.or Mozilla, do maybe have an edge on displaying certain sites. I like Opera, what can I say? I'm using 6.03, and it is very stable on my Mdk8.2 system. I don't seem to be able to get java working though, so that's a point for Galeon. Opera 7 sounds like it may be a winner, but I don't know if that will translate into a Linux version anytime soon. 8-( That's just IMHO...not fight pickin'. ;-) --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."--James Thurber Reg.

Galeon is generally considered to be faster than Mozilla, but IMO Opera is faster even than Galeon, and has a smaller memory footprint and will work better in low end machines. (This is just my opinion remember) However.. They both have their limitations. Galeon is possibly better at rendering pages with 'Internet Explorer' javascript on them. But on the other hand recent builds of Galeon (I am using 1.2.5) have been a little unstable and seem to crash a lot. It really comes down to which browser suits you best since their speed is similar. At the moment I think Opera's feature set is still better (just) . I like the 'mouse gestures' (galeon has them too but they do not work as well), 'tabbed windows'(Galeon has tabbed windows too, but they have to be all the same size) BTW: You mention galeon 1.03 That is a bit out of date, and I do not think it has either of these features. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
