What's the best browser for Linux?
Is there a standout browser for Linux? I've had a long time to learn the ups and downs of the IE/Firefox/Chrome trifecta for Windows, but I'm still learning the different Linux distros, and have just been using Firefox on Linux. Are there better choices?
Answers
Chromium is a great choice, though Firefox also works very well. I suggest trying both and seeing what you like best.
Also, check your distro's software manager for other options as well. Poke around and see if there other browsers that you might enjoy using.

This writer at Lifehacker likes Chrome, but many of his readers do not. Other readers elsewhere have cited Chromium (Chrome's open-source version) and Opera.
Browsers are pretty easy to assess on your own, so I'd try some out and pick the one that works best for you.
