However, many more advanced users still prefer Galeon over epiphany and [Mozilla]/MozillaFirefox for a number of reasons:
-* tab
completion in the location box (for sites in your history or the local filesystem)
-* best tabs
implementation -
you can drag the tabs around to change the order/detach/change windows
-* drag bookmarks and urls
to your bookmarks toolbar

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
* gnome-vfs and [GTK] skin integration (c.f. MozillaFirefox)
-* supports pasting urls
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 mail application
you'
ve set in the gnome
preferences -
no helper scripts or hidden preferences required.
