Top 10 slick browsers for Linux you probably never head of!
Our recent article, 10 Great Linux Monitoring Tools You Probably Never Used became pretty popular so we figured why not follow the same trend and make some more list of things you probably never used but don’t mind using them. Here is a list of top 10 decent browsers for Linux:
Mozilla Seamonkey
Mozilla is a project to continue Netscape Navigator/Communicator as an open project. The project was founded and staffed by Netscape, and has now contributors from other companies as well as volunteers. The Netscape 6 and original Mozilla browser and email client is called Seamonkey. Mozilla is also the basis of Firefox and Thunderbird, thus Seamonkey shares 90% of its code with them.
dillo Web browser
Dillo Web browser is a very fast, extremely small Web browser that’s written in C and C++. The source is around 600 KB, and the static binary is about 980KB. It is a graphical browser built upon FLTK2, and it renders a good subset of HTML and CSS, excluding frames, JavaScript, and JVM support.
Amaya

It lets users both browse and author valid Web pages, with standards including (X)HTML, native MathML, and SVG documents.

A very old version can still be found in Qt’s source code in the demo/browser directory. Arora works on Linux, OS X, Windows, FreeBSD, and embedded Linux using Qt Embedded, and works anywhere else Qt does.
