Internet-Browsers for Linux

WWW-Browsers for Linux


There are many browsers available for Linux. I did not find a listing which I thought to be complete, especially considering non-x86 platforms. This list tries to accomplish this task. I tried to include all browsers for web pages (i.e., no pure 3D browsers) which are available for Linux. If a browser is missing or the information given is incorrect, please Inform Me Via Email.

The list is limited to browsers for HTML/XHTML/XML. Some might do other Formats as well (VRML, WAP) but I will not list browsers which are limited to such a format/protocol.

The column state indicates if and how the browser can be run under Linux/AXP: Check below for a detailed description.

If your favorite web page insists on certain browsers, you have to fake the browser identification.

Since several browsers are either totally out of date or their web page is no longer available, I split the list into browser with recent development (i.e. those which are likely to display current web pages) and older browsers. If you think I misplaced a browser then please mail me.
