Hi, ever since ff3 turned firefox into unusable, i'm on the quest to find a usable browser. Chromium was quite decent for a while (after fixing the dbus dependency) despite it deadlocks when you mouse-move tabs (fortunately i dont do that anyway), but recently it started timing out on every second request. The answer from google was: deactivate your windows firewall, so well.. back to searching a browser. Basicly each and every firefox clone/fork/based browser has the same issues as firefox (100% disk i/o all the time even when idle), so those don't work. webkit based browsers can't render half of the internet properly. i wonder if somone cloned chromiums webkit thing and made a brwoser of it? uzbl is quite decent, i wish they'd use chromes rendering. opera would be awesome if it didn't have billions of popups and their "Upgrade to opera10" popup really made me uninstall opera.
any options left?
Hi, if you don't need extra features and you can live on just with basic browser functions I can recommend lightweight GTK webkit-based browser called Midori.

Upps, I missed the part about Webkit...but I use it sometimes and I did not encounter any website that would not work (just minor problems, something you always meet with any browser). And of course, there is still Lynx as the last options...:-) -- --------------------------------- Dan Vrátil vratil@progdansoft.com ICQ 249163429 Jabber progdan@jabber.cz Tel. +420 732 326 870 http://www.progdan.homelinux.net
