Kazehakase usurps Iceweasel
For a long time now I’ve been looking for something between Dillo and Iceweasel (which I find a little faster than straight Firefox). I want to like Dillo in the same way I want to like Fluxbox, but Dillo never does it for me. It tends to spatter things across the page, and the whole GTK1.2 interface is just plain ugly. I’m usually willing to sacrifice looks for speed, but in Dillo’s case, I can’t do it. It’s too sloppy.
On the other hand, Iceweasel/Firefox do everything a competent browser should do, but they don’t do it fast enough for me. The memory footprint is heavy and they seem to lurch along without noticing how cumbersome they are. Sure, I can get Java and Flash and all the extensions I want, but even in their purest states, they seem to drag. Sometimes just scrolling down the page can cause some stutter. Come on! :evil:
About a month ago, Brunellus mentioned Kazehakase in a thread and I’m sold now.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
