I'm sure you'll hear a lot about phoenix. I use it, it works well, loads pretty fast. Opera still blows it away in startup time, though opera isn't as standards compliant(v6 anyways). Both opera and phoenix though seem to have massive memory leaks, I haven't been able to track down what triggers them but sometimes I come to my machine and see either of them(they are both loaded 24/7 on my main machine) using up to 400MB of memory. Opera is especially buggy on SSL sites. phoenix is my main browser though, I do keep opera since it is able to recover from crashes better by loading all pages that were up before the crash(phoenix cannot do this yet). Also I keep phoenix is a different color configuration(black background on grey text), which makes some websites unreadable, so I load them in opera(changing color modes in phoenix is one way to trigger a crash so I avoid it whenever possible). I run phoenix 0.5 and opera 6.11(registered). lynx and links are both decent browsers for the console, depends on what sites you vist, most of mine are perfectly readable in text mode browsers (which is important for my PDA too since I use EudoraWeb). I do not use plugins like java, flash, or other multimedia, all of that is disabled. the only site I use that requires java is flipdog.com(job search), which I use netscape 4 for. for reference, my primary desktop is an athlon 1300 with 768mb ram, a 9gig ultrawide scsi disk, no swap, home directory is mounted over NFS. Video is nvidia geforce3 (forgot which model), 2.2.19 kernel with debian stable. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
