Review of three most popular web browsers on Linux: Firefox, Opera and Konqueror. The article talks about each browser's features, strong and weak points, advantages. Screenshots included.

Firefox is a well known success case. I ’ve been using it for years and version 3 (which is almost ready) has great improvements. Opera has been around for years and it’s a stable browser, known for innovations in the browsing experience. So, after seeing the cool new features of Firefox, I was curious at what Opera was offering these days.

In mid-2008, Opera 9.5 became available for download just ahead of Firefox 3.0. Now, Opera has moved one step further, and as of October 8, it is offering version 9.6 of its browser. Opera 9.6 brings enhancements across the table, although at its heart it is labeled as a security and stability update.

The debate rages over whether open source browsers such as Firefox and Konqueror provide better zero-day attack protection than proprietary browsers such as Microsoft's Latest News about Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and Opera Software's Opera browser.

A complete review of the Opera browser in its newest form: release 9.50. The article reviews all major aspects and features of Opera, like widgets, speed, documentation, BitTorrent support, new interface and much more.

Some days ago someone on slashdot mentioned that the next Opera version is going to pass all CSS 3 tests. While this is great news for Opera I wondered how well konqueror does on this tests, and gave it a try. It passed all tests without a problem. This surprised me a bit because I did not remember reading about this.

You know Firefox like the back of your hand. You’ve heard tale of Chrome and you know KDE has tried to pawn Konqueror off as their default browser. In the distance you hear Opera calling your name and IE4Lin tries to woo you to the dark side. Browsers, the lot of them.

While Microsoft continues its dominance in the world of browsers, competitors weight as Firefox, Opera and most recently the Google Chrome occupy increasingly users. Now we will define the strengths and weaknesses of two popular browsers.

For web browsing, most of us would prefer Firefox or Opera because of their speed, security, stability, and overall features. While a handful of people may like surfing the web with some of those terminal-based browsers. For a change, why not try some web browsers that would perhaps cater to a few of your specific needs and would serve as an alternative to your existing browser.
