Alternate Web Browsers

Swiftfox is based on Firefox and you can use all your favourite plugins. It is built specifically for your CPU and has various speed hacks. I use it as my main browser, quick and full of features.

Midori is a very fast and simple browser.

Arora was the fast and simple browser of choice before Midori came along. It is written in QT though so is more suited to those of you on KDE. If you don't know what this means then you are probably on Gnome and don't know what that means either.

Opera. Many people love the opera web browser, it was the first to introduce the "speed dial" idea (I think) and this feature has now made it to Chrome, Midori and others.

Google Chrome is a very nice browser and is sure to become a 'must have' as google introduce ideas that run best on their own browser. For now it is quick and has a nice minimal and out of the way interface. The problem it has is the Flash plugin eats CPU and makes your computer hot. Look for the process called exe and you'll see it burning your CPU.

How do I install these browsers on Linux?
