"In this article, we look into what kind of a browser Galeon is,
how it functions and some of its salient features...."
"Galeon is based on two classic philosophies: 'Do one thing and
do it well' and 'Don't re-invent the wheel.' Unlike Mozilla or
Netscape, Galeon is just a browser and not an Internet suite. With
an interface built with GTK and the Gecko browsing engine, it truly
combines the best of both the worlds--a light interface and a fast
browser. Since they don't bother with re-inventing the wheel, i.e.
writing a page-rendering engine, they have been able to come with
an extremely attractive alternative to Netscape/Mozilla. As they
use the highly standards compliant and developed Gecko engine,
Galeon can view sites in all their glory, something which can't
always be said for the alternative browsers out there."
