Checking out Midori on a Sparky Openbox install. Debian based, testing. The Midori version here are 0.5.11.

So far nothing to report, but are a bit sceptic. Last time I tried Midori it crashed, crashed, and eventually it crashed again! 

[leenie]

I must try Midori again!  Previously it always crashed. Thank you.

No crashing so far, but Midori did not play well, really not at all, with youtube. 

But the fox fix`d that!

New Firefox is out, and so far it has been nothing but a positive exprience.

I just set up a PC with the new Firefox. They have changed the preferences menu. Look very carefully to make the changes you usually make! Still the same good browser.

Time to go to the Opera.

[ulisseskat]

Totally agree, right now Opera it's the best browser in all accounts.

I've been trying to find a browser that works for 32 bit that does not make the cpu fan go nuts. Will check out Opera.

So far all ok with Opera. I am poitively surprised in fact. 

I just want an alternative browser to use when Firefox slow down. Which it does sometimes. :|

This article might be of interest for Opera users. It is a little bit old, but thought it could be of interest anyway.
