The web browser has become an important and necessary tool in every operating system and it goes without saying that it is also important for Gnu / Linux. Many of you you are looking for a browser that suits your needs, many times out of fear of the insecurity that exists throughout the Internet or because we do not like how certain browsers work.
Some time ago we told you about the most famous and used browsers in Gnu / Linux and now we present you the 5 most unknown browsers you can find in Linux and they can be adapted to your needs.
dillo
This simple browser rose to fame years ago for being very light and a perfect fit in distributions that barely needed 128 Mb of ram. However, it is a very basic web browser that will not allow any plugins and will only read the latest HTML standards. The bad thing about Dillo is that the project is stalled and the latest web technologies don't work well, but if you don't need a lot of web browsing, Dillo is a very good option.
Ubuntu Browser
Ubuntu launched its web browser a long time ago, a project that has not given much publicity but we can say that it is a web browser quite interesting, useful and beautiful to look at. This browser is compatible with any Ubuntu-based distribution and it supports the latest web technologies, which makes it interesting for those looking for a spartan but functional browser.
Tor Browser
The Tor project uses the onion layer system and its network to offer privacy and security but also offers the possibility of using Free software and adapting it to the Web. Tor Browser en a version of Mozilla Firefox that connects to the Tor Network which is also configured for maximum security in our web browsing. Based on Firefox, Tor Browser can be installed on any Gnu / Linux distribution.
Links
Generally, web browsers have a graphical interface, a window, and secondary dialogs, but you can navigate without the need for graphics. Links is a good example of this. This web browser is available for all distributions and it offers to be a great alternative for those who only want information, information without the need to consume graphic resources.
SeaMonkey
Who does not know Firefox? By now we've all used Mozilla Firefox at least once, but few have used its little brother, SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey is a web browser that it is based on Mozilla Firefox but it is aimed at computers with fewer resources, its accessories are less and its power too, something that you have to pay for consuming fewer resources. If you really demand little from your web browser, SeaMonkey can be a great option, an ideal option for teams with few resources.
Conclusion about these web browsers
Usually all these web browsers can be found for all Gnu / Linux distributions, with the exception of the Ubuntu browser, but surely that is something that a strong Community cannot solve. In any case, these browsers are ideal for undemanding users or for teams with few resources, which may be why they are little-known browsers Do not you think?
If you would like to Linux browsers most popular, in the link that we just left you will find the most used or known.
Well, my Ubuntu Browser is fatal, I start it and after a few seconds it fails.
SeaMonkey is simply an old version of Mozilla with all the problems of obsolescence and incompatibility that this entails, at the time of installing it and testing it for ten seconds it is fine but a quarter of an hour of browsing and normal searches show how erroneous its concept is: what They present as a "lightened" version of Mozilla but it is as I have written: old and unfortunately obsolete version ...
"SeaMonkey is a web browser based on Mozilla Firefox" ... unfortunately it is not like that: SeaMonkey is an old version of Mozilla and nothing else, with all the problems that its "old age" and obsolescence entail ...
It's Lynx, not Links
Well, as Peter says, Seamonkey is the original version of Mozilla on which Firefox was based in its beginnings and, on the contrary, as you indicate in the article, actually Firefox is the "lightened" version of Mozilla.
Links is different from Lynx (both are text-mode browsers)
