![]() ![]() What I found when I revisited the browser were some neat features. But I haven’t used their browser in years. Don’t get me wrong, they have a great browser offering. Opera – I’m actually a bit surprised to see Operais still around. The only issue I had with QupZilla is that some pages don’t render correctly. And of course, the fact that I can choose if my passwords are managed as plaintext or encrypted is a great option as well. The second thing is that it offers a reliable means of restoring previous browser sessions by default. QupZilla – The number one thing that QupZilla has going for it is how lightweight it is. That said, the page load speed is about on par with Firefox. And while some have complained of stability issues, I haven’t experienced any problems in this area. I also like that it has an adblocker and a decent RSS reader built in by default. Midori’s real advantage is that it’s more attractive to look at than other browsers. When comparing Firefox and Midori running instances of script heavy pages like Gmail or Facebook, the memory usage was nearly identical. ![]() Midori – Despite the common belief that Midori is a light-weight browser, I have found this to be untrue in terms of RAM usage.

Maybe I’m just too lazy to make the switch to something else. Both Chrome and Chromium support Opus, Theora, Vorbis, VP8, VP9, and WAV playback.įirefox – Despite it’s lack of speed, I still use Firefox as my daily driver. It’s a solid option for anyone looking for Chrome’s speed without dealing with PepperFlash or support for proprietary media goodies like AAC, H.264 and MP3. This is basically the Chrome browser without Flash pre-installed and other tidbits found in Chrome proper. Did I mention the oodles of Chrome extensions available including various remote desktop solutions? No matter how you slice it, Chrome is king of the jungle.Ĭhromium – If you would rather use the open source core for Chrome called Chromium. And of course, Chrome is faster than any other browser out there. In this article, I’ll share the best browsers available to Linux users.Ĭhrome – No matter how you feel about the Chrome browser, one only need to realize the following: Local news still streams in Flash and Chrome supports this.
