https://apps.kde.org/konqueror/
A web browser and file manager for KDE.
The KHTML rendering engine was made for it. Safari also uses that engine. It’s nice, but .. could be better. Has insane and not-customizable accesskeys.

was dillo.org
A lightweight web browser.
I thought it had hope but needed significant work.

2022-07-12 – Apparently abandoned
- The website is down
- the source code archive as of 202201280 shows the last activity at 2021-02-09. It was a small change and the update previous to that was 2018-10-05.
- The mailing list archive doesn’t tell me enough because it’s an old snapshot.
TODO – add patch notes

http://links.twibright.com/
A fast, open source, cross-platform Web browser based on the Links web browser.
Where Lynx is the standard console web browser for most Linux distributions and is complete shit, Links is fucking awesome.
I had used this for some time but abandoned it for a while. I’ll try it again eventually.

The problem with the Mozilla of browsers is that decent functionality isn’t included out of the box. This is what drove me away from Windows and I don’t want to waste my life configuring things anymore.. so I can’t really stand this browser.
- Mozilla: Firebird, Phoenix or whatever other names.

was neoplanet.com
A Windows 16bit internet browser+email suite. It leveraged Internet Explorer‘s HTML rendering engine.
This is probably the most significant piece of software I’ve ever used, because it was the initial prompt for my writing and publishing reviews. It pushed a major hobby and has influenced whole careers. As for it being any good.. well it had potential that it didn’t meet. At the time it was better than Opera but it just didn’t survive the web browser marathon.
