Mozilla vs Galeon

I used to use Mozilla 1.1 predominantly until now, when I switched to Galeon 1.2.5 for a while.

These are the differences I found:

• Galeon Negatives:
  1. I have many many bookmarks in one folder (i have many folders as well - in fact, the total number of bookmarks i have are over 1200). Now there is one very big problem. In the Bookmarks menu, the menu does not scroll up and down, if all the items in the current sub menu dont fit on the screen. This is very bad - i *cant* reach *many* of my bookmarks???
  2. The bookmarks are stored in XBEL format. Mozilla stores them in HTML and I can then put them up directly on my website and access them from anywhere, any platform, any browser. I think HTML is better than XBEL.
  3. "File Bookmarks" facility from Mozilla not available. This was convenient for adding the bookmark to a particular folder, change the bookmark name, the URL, all at the same time. This was a good feature and can be added very simply to Galeon.
• Galeon positives
  1. Since it is natively made for Linux, it is faster, smaller, smooth, and better. Mozilla's UI uses XUL for platform independence, which makes it slower. I know, thats not Mozilla's fault, but....
  2. Galeon, if it crashes, saves the session as it is. And recovers when started again after crash. Mozilla really misses this feature. Galeon also stores the session every time it closes normally, which is then recovered during the next session. This is great.
  3. Galeon has more features and flexibility than Mozilla - more options - which are really useful.
  4. Galeon integerates better with Gnome and with Linux in general, while Mozilla is cross platform.

However, due to bookmarks negatives of Galeon, I will choose Mozilla over Galeon for now. If those were not there, I would have undoubtedly chosen Galeon.

Nevertheless, both of these are great software.
