Title: Web browsers?
Post by: Hiro on April 11, 2011, 10:26:15 PM
Now normally I'm a big Opera fan, but I've been using Chrome as it's a bit more lightweight, easier for my laptop to handle.
Does anyone know of any other lightweight but customizable browsers outside the typical Firefox/Opera/Safari/Chrome/IE?

too add on it, the only disadvantages of it really are the lack of spell check [it's not a deal break per se, but it'd be nice], some fonts can look a bit different, some favicons don't work [boyah's for example doesn't] and it won't be as pro html5 as other browsers

and site pinning is a neat concept, but very few sites take full advantage of it

I've been using mainly Opera for a pretty long amount of time.
In Linux, many heavy Flash sites (like Livestream and Pokemon Global Link) will not work in either Opera or Firefox 4, so I use FF3 as well for things like that.

There probably are none. I'm familiar with several of the more obscure browsers, but none of them are customizable.

I like Chrome's minimalism. 5thgrade;

IE9 is actually really good.  It's not perfect but it's better than Firefox 4  n_u

He'susing the page compatibility view.  Though, Boyah works fine in IE9's native rendering for me. befuddlement
