[Galeon | http://galeon.sourceforge.net/] is a WebBrowser for [GNOME]. It used to be the default, until [Epiphany] was forked off from it for dumbing down. |

It is based on the [Gecko] engine, so its rendering and standards compliance are the same as [Mozilla]’s. |

* Tab completion in the location box (for sites in your history or the local filesystem) |
|
|

* Superior tabbed browsing implementation – you can drag the tabs around to change the order/detach/change windows |

* drag bookmarks and [URL]s to your bookmarks toolbar |

* supports pasting [URL]s into the window to open new tabs ([Epiphany] removed this) |
|
|

* right-click on an image gives the option to block all images from the same server, permanently ([Epiphany] removed this) |
|

* Uses the [GNOME] [MIME] system and [GNOME] preferred applications settings. So it will use the MailClient you’ve set in the [GNOME] preferences – no helper scripts or hidden preferences required. |
