Top 4 Browsers for Linux Reviewed

In the past, I have discussed the various browsers out there for us to enjoy at length. Despite this, there has always been the question as to which one was best for which type of person. After all, we all know what each offers, but which one best fits different type of users? In this article, I hope to better answer that particular question. And of course, all platforms will be considered, not just Linux.

Opera. You will never see any other proprietary browser try so hard to please. Opera supports no less than nine separate platforms; many of them extremely long tail including BeOS, OS/2 and QNX.

Struggling to become competitive on the desktop, I see Opera doing best with its mobile efforts, thanks to Opera Mini, designed for those with a mobile lifestyle. In addition to that, Opera Link does add a twist to synchronizing your bookmarks in such a way that it makes them accessible everywhere.

Firefox. Some will refer to Firefox the brilliant nephew of the now defunct Netscape browser. Revenge, served against Microsoft's browser takeover during the 1990's, Firefox has become something of a rock star over the past few years. Today, heading straight into version 3.0, it has become something of a legend for those who want Website compatibility and extra functionality with all of those great add-ons that are being offered.
