4 AristotlePagaltzis 1 [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.

4 AristotlePagaltzis 3 It is based on the [Gecko] engine, so its rendering and standards compliance are the same as [Mozilla]’s.

5 However, many more advanced users still prefer Galeon over epiphany and [Mozilla]/MozillaFirefox for a number of reasons:
4 AristotlePagaltzis 6
7 * Tab completion in the location box (for sites in your history or the local filesystem)
8 * Superior tabbed browsing implementation – you can drag the tabs around to change the order/detach/change windows
9 * drag bookmarks and [URL]s to your bookmarks toolbar
1 JohnMcPherson 10 * gnome-vfs and [GTK] skin integration (c.f. MozillaFirefox)
4 AristotlePagaltzis 11 * supports pasting [URL]s into the window to open new tabs ([Epiphany] removed this)
12 * right-click on an image gives the option to block all images from the same server, permanently ([Epiphany] removed this)
13 * 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.
