“Recently I decided to make a screencast comparing some
of the more popular browsers that are currently available for
Linux: Firefox, Epiphany, Konqueror, Opera, and Google-Chrome.
Included is the screencast posted with the new HTML 5 video tag, a
video download option, and for those that prefer reading, a short
synopsis of the scenario.

“The video file does have a fairly high resolution and even
though it is only 22 minutes long it is over 150 MB in size. If you
don’t have a high speed connection to use for watching it on line,
you may want to download it or just check out the synopsis.

“TEST SYSTEM

Processor: AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-40
Memory: 1 GB
Graphics: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
Operating System: Ubuntu 9.10
Desktop Environment: GNOME 2.28.1″
