web browser choices
I just want to make sure I'm not mising anything when I'm choosing a web
browser. I don't use a desktop environment as such, although I'm trying
out xfce4 instead of icewm.
I want an Xwindow based web browser that lets me access normal web
sites. I find I need https, frames, and javascript.
It seems that there are only two main choices:
Mozilla-derived: Ice* and Galeon
Konqueror.
Since:
dillo doesn't do java or https
I tried galeon but couldn't find a way to specify the cache location. I
have a nice fast /tmp (on tmpfs) with per-user temp directories
(courtesy of pam) and want to use that. I also don't like gnome's file
selection widgets and overall interface.
So right now I use iceape. Its big and clunky I suppose, but mostly I
don't like all the security bugs that keep being found in the
gekko-based browsers (per the debian BTS).
I'm downloading Konqueror right now but with no other KDE stuff it will
take a long time (slow dialup).
Is there another well-featured web-browser that is _not_ integrated into
a desktop environment?
Thanks,
Doug.
