- demea, on 11/22/2007, -5/+250Safari is an "interesting browser I've never heard of"?
- benroy, on 11/22/2007, -3/+90I still prefer AOL.*
* = EXTREME Sarcasm. - rabbro, on 11/22/2007, -2/+81Safari? Sounds interesting - think I'll go download right no... wait a minute, it's already in my dock. What convenience is this?
- inactive, on 11/22/2007, -4/+66NEtscape, safari, flock? is this guy retarded? Everyones heard of them.
- duckyinc, on 11/22/2007, -1/+58Warning: 3D browsers reduce functionality for eye candy :)
- ropers, on 11/22/2007, -1/+45Let's see. The authors have never heard of Arachne ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachne_%28web_browse ... ) and think that I have never heard of Netscape. LOL.
- hackerssidekick, on 11/22/2007, -1/+36Not only have most people heard of those browsers, but the article itself is very poorly written
- ki85squared, on 11/22/2007, -1/+35Albeit confusing, the author is referring to Safari for Windows.
- maxyRO, on 11/22/2007, -2/+31they look nice.
but still sticking to my trusty fox - tyrione, on 11/22/2007, -1/+24Where the hell is OmniWeb? It was one of the earliest Web Browsers, period! It's Cocoa and uses WebKit.
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/ - Netrilix, on 11/22/2007, -1/+24Hey, the jerk store called, and they're out of you!
- Assezdefromage, on 11/22/2007, -0/+19I guess alanr19 thinks you're retarded...
- WoollyMittens, on 11/22/2007, -2/+19Maxthon is not a browser, it is a skin for internert explorer.
- canthraxp, on 11/22/2007, -2/+19How can you steal something that's free and open-source?
- chubbstar, on 11/22/2007, -0/+16whats a browser? i just click internet.
- jaygray, on 11/22/2007, -0/+15Sadly I can think of a number of people who have only heard of Internet Explorer.
- gritta, on 11/22/2007, -0/+13Figure of speech. The makers of these browsers don't actively help in the development and improvement of Gecko.
- caLt, on 11/22/2007, -0/+13Yes it is... Netscape also is an "interesting browser I've never heard of"...
- gritta, on 11/22/2007, -5/+16Most of them have just stolen Gecko (Firefox's rendering engine) and packaged it with their own GUI.
- solidus636, on 11/22/2007, -0/+10or...you could just go here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_bro ... - xyphur, on 11/22/2007, -0/+9Where's NCSA Mosaic?
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Projects/mosaic.html - CSAngel, on 11/22/2007, -6/+15I'd never heard of flock.
- inactive, on 11/22/2007, -3/+11yeah sorry i hope i didnt ruin your day
- dsm88, on 11/22/2007, -0/+8Also, no mention of Konqueror (KDE), Epiphany (GNU), Seamonkey (Mozilla), and _NO LYNX_ ?
Lynx is handy if you need to telnet or SSH without X forwarding.
Seamonkey is essentialy built from the original Netscape: Netscape --> Mozilla --> Seamonkey
Iceweasel is just Firefox re-branded by Debian and GNU because of the Firefox name being trademarked by Mozilla. Only the official binary is allowed to be called Firefox.
Konqueror is for KDE. This is what Safari is based on.
Epiphany is a separate project by GNU for the GNOME Desktop Environment. - Pardus, on 11/22/2007, -0/+8Never heard of? I have actually used a number of those browsers. And several more that are not on the list.
- derjames, on 11/22/2007, -1/+8Where is Dillo?
- shanesemler, on 11/22/2007, -0/+7SpaceTime looks very cool. I've always wanted an interface like that. It's not mere eyecandy.
- pezholio, on 11/22/2007, -5/+12Your comment is buried as stupid and unnecessarily anal.
- cyrix, on 11/22/2007, -1/+8And yet for posting this comment twice...you're still not. Hmm....
- Sabretou, on 11/22/2007, -5/+11You can list all the features of all the browsers in the world, but none will beat Firefox + Extensions.
- Duncast, on 11/22/2007, -0/+6Where's Neoplanet? http://www.neoplanet.com/
- Memnochxx, on 11/22/2007, -3/+9Much like your insult?
- inactive, on 11/22/2007, -3/+8could you have looked into it before posting?
- kevyn, on 11/22/2007, -0/+5hes at the back right, with the stripy shirt and glasses
- inactive, on 11/22/2007, -1/+6what are you talking about?
- badenglishihave, on 11/22/2007, -1/+5I don't care that all these naysayers are burying you; that was pretty funny.
- coffeebot, on 11/22/2007, -1/+5what are you talking about?
- clubby, on 11/22/2007, -0/+4Nope. Firefox 3 beta is using Gecko 1.9 so it's still going strong.
- manitoba98xp, on 11/22/2007, -6/+9I'd already heard of most of those (literally). Please, don't make assumptions about what I have and haven't heard of. Call it, perhaps "Interesting Low-Profile Browsers" or "Interesting Little-Known Browsers", but not "Interesting Web Browsers You Have Never Heard Of".
- Netrilix, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Haha, right before I read your post, I was thinking "Where are uRocket and NeoPlanet?"
- inactive, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3except you clearly knew about these before....
- TheWorm, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Still...People who are in the know of technology enough to use Firefox over IE on Windows probably do know about Safari.
- knuckles, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Article must be for filler as the list is incredibly short on browsers I've never heard from. A cursory search points out a few more:
http://www.icab.de/
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/ - lemonis, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3What about w3m and lynx (and the clones like links and elinks)?
I find them pretty useful sometimes. - EtherGnat, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Maxthon isn't an IE "skin" anymore than Flock is a Firefox skin. It brings a number of useful features to the Trident engine.
- chubbstar, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3whats a browser? i just click internet.
- Darkhacker, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3I know it's only an alpha, but let's show Midori some love. It's a GTK+ 2, WebKit browser.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(browser) - knuckles, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2I did a search on Google for "OS X browsers" and the following site listed a comparison of several browsers with a few that I was not aware of. I would suggest that YOU may have been aware of these and are calling me out on the basis that I surely must be aware of everything you are.
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/os-x-browsers/ - isolino, on 11/22/2007, -2/+4Aren't you special.
- Rammsteined, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2Thanks for pointing that out, I've been looking and waiting for something like this for so long.
