Web Browser http://www.linuxinfusion.com/taxonomy/term/41/atom/feed 2007-01-15T20:53:58-08:00 Hv3: A nice up and coming light-weight web browser http://www.linuxinfusion.com/hv3-nice-upcoming-light-weight-web-browser 2007-12-18T19:24:44-08:00 2007-12-18T19:28:35-08:00 Moparx I was recently looking around for a new light-weight web browser to possibly replace dillo on my laptop and I stumbled upon Hv3 (Html Viewer 3), a small Tcl/Tk browser powered by Tkhtml3.

I played around with it for awhile today and I have to say that I found it to be fairly decent despite the fact that it is still in its alpha stage. I am definitely going to keep my eye on Hv3 as I would love to see what the future has in store for it.

It is worth taking a look at and I am interested in hearing your experience and/or opinion regarding this browser.

Here is a screen shot comparison between the two browsers:

]]> Kazehakase Web Browser Review http://www.linuxinfusion.com/kazehakase-web-browser-review 2007-04-21T16:44:10-07:00 2007-04-21T16:48:48-07:00 Moparx Kazehakase is a lightweight and fast GTK+2 based web browser which uses the Gecko layout engine.

It contains an innovative set of features and has plans to eventually switch to a modular configuration so users can change rendering engines.

At first glance, Kazehakase does not seem that much different from other simplistic browsers like Epiphany. Everything a user is familiar with is right in front of them.

The Dillo project's web site will be updated with an official statement regarding the situation after he is able to get back in contact with Sebastian Geerken, a core developer for the project, and arrange a virtual meeting to discuss the issues.

After using the release candidate for over a week or so now, I have to decided that I may just end up switching completely over to Firefox 2 as my primary browser in the near future.

Of course nothing is certain, but it will at least give me something to ponder over for a bit...
