The browsers reviewed are the latest ones included in Debian Lenny, current date (May 17, 2008). The system used to review them is a Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz with 1 GB DDRAM2. The comparison includes the major five Linux browsers: Konqueror, Firefox, Opera, Epiphany and Galeon. I'm aware of others like Dillo or the older Mozilla, but decided to include only the big players at the moment.

Konqueror 3.5.9

Konqueror is the KDE web browser. Actually, it's a web browser among many other things like file manager or image viewer, but that is not the object of this review. Konqueror uses KHTML as a rendering engine. Konqueror has problems displaying some pages or submitting certain forms. For example, I couldn't make Konqueror submit an article to Digg, and I noticed that scrolling a Digg page is slow, especially at the end of the page. Weird thing, I did not notice this behaviour at any other browsers which I tested. One of the great advantages Konqueror has is good KDE integration (that is of course if you are a KDE user) and the ability to use shortcuts in either the Run dialog or in Konqueror's address bar. For example, typing 'gg:linux tutorials' in any of the above locations will automatically launch Konqueror display Google's search results for 'linux tutorials'. Of course, the default browser can be changed via KControl -> KDE Components -> Component Chooser, so you can open the Run dialog, type 'wp:whatever' (which will search on Wikipedia) and let Firefox, for example, open the results. Konqueror allows you to bookmark a page in a certain directory very fast by including an 'Add Bookmark' option in each of the directories in your bookmarks. Konqueror also features spell-checking.
