castrated
by multi_io - Nov 13th 2004 19:34:23
This browser has been castrated in version 1.3. There's no other way to put
it. Allegedly, this was done to make the browser more appealing to the
casual user -- as if there weren't half a dozen projects that try just
that. They've removed almost every feature that made this browser special.
The quick selection of the proxying method -- removed. Tear-off menus --
removed. Session management -- removed (no, "Add Tabs As Folder"
is no adequate replacement). The bookmark editor -- crippled. I can't find
an easy way to add a bookmark with a user-defined title. In 1.2.x, you
could set an option so a dialog in which you could enter the title would
pop up when you chose "Add Bookmark Here". In 1.3, the only way
to achieve that is to first navigate clumsily to the desired bookmark
folder, add the bookmark with the page's title, then use the bookmark
editor, navigate clumsily to the folder again, and change the title. You
can't even bookmark the current page using the bookmark editor. Nor can you
drag'n'drop the URL "drag handle" into the bookmark editor -- how
is that "appealing to the casual user"? At least they've retained
bookmark aliases (albeit with a clumsy user interface) -- a feature that is
probably more difficult to grasp for beginners that any of the removed
ones.
It seems the Galeon people somehow got infected with the Gnome2 "dumb
it down until your dog can use it" philosophy. It's a tragedy.

Why did they get rid of favicon support in Galeon 1.3?
by Gorgonzola - May 1st 2004 07:02:16
For now I am sticking with 1.2. With favicons you can pack your personal
toolbar with way more links than if you are forced to use text .... For
some inscrutable reason 1.3 got rid of this.

Nope. 1.3.x is the GNOME 2 port of galeon.

bookmarks.xbel
by linuxusr - Nov 23rd 2002 09:36:05
I love galeon and it is my main browser.
However I have a small problem. I sometimes have to use another (un-named)
browser which uses bookmarks.html
is there any way to convert the bookmarks.bxel to an html format? It's a
pain to have to maintain 2 bookmark files in different formats.

Just open the Galeon bookmarks editor (Bookmarks->Edit
bookmarks), select File->Save as..., and choose the
Netscape bookmarks file format.

Galeon > Phoenix
by MacroHead - Oct 15th 2002 11:35:29
First I'd like to say that I love Galeon, and that it's the only browser I
currently use. I was wondering if the development team was looking at the
Phoenix source code, because there seems to be some pretty nice things
coming from that browser.

Bookmarks toolbar is counter-intuitive
by David Chase - Mar 5th 2002 21:21:29
Firstly: I adore Galeon, great software guys!
Second: The Bookmarks toolbar seems to be a bit counter-intuitive: when I
click on the "Freshmeat" button it only seems natural that it
will take me to the web page, instead it shrinks the widget in the toolbar.
Shouldn't clicking on a web site name (even in the bookmarks toolbar)
launch that page?
Thx, this was the only thing about Galeon that seemed odd to me.

You will see this functionality greatly improved wrt intuitiveness in the
upcoming 1.2 stable release. You can try it in the latest development
release 1.1.3

new feature: wget functionality in galeon???
by waxmop - Feb 25th 2002 10:47:57
Hi - I use wget at the command line to make local copies of web pages. I
use a 56k modem and I like to make local copies of pages that I might need
to access later - stuff like documentation, howtos, or just big articles I
want to download first and read later.
I think a good new feature for galeon would be a "store locally" button in
the toolbar that runs
wget -kp -P ~/galeon/localcopy current_url
or something like that. For instance, if I'm reading a restaurant review
and I want to save it quickly to show someone else later, I could just hit
the clever new "store locally" button, and then later go to my
~/galeon/localcopy folder and then click on the page there.
Obviously, this would work better for static rather than dynamic pages.
Alternately, the button could toggle the option to store everything
locally.
The "Save as" feature is good - but wget has certain advantages like
rewriting hyperlinks to point to the local copy, as well as grabbing
associated images, etc...
Galeon is great.

I don't understand ...
This is already implemented in galeon/mozilla, when selecting the save
content option ... ?
here is an example. This page contains a favicon link
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
when saved in doc named galeon_freshmeat.html:
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="galeon_freshmeat.htmlcontent/favicon.txt">

Galeon is a GNOME web browser. It uses core GNOME libraries and
technologies to facilitate development and give a better integration with
the rest of GNOME.
You don't need to run GNOME to use Galeon though, having the necessary
libraries installed on the system is enough.

Tabbed browsing is great!

A new dimension? Surely not. It is nice, but Galeon's not the first
browser to implement tab functionality - Opera's had it for a while.
The nice thing about Galeon's tab browsing is that it uses up less desktop
realestate than Opera's version. So far it seems like a zippy little
browser.

Superb!
by Deryk - Apr 20th 2001 06:21:27
My big gripe that stopped me using Mozilla, was
that it took *forever* to launch (30 seconds on my
system, that is a long time to wait for a browser)
and I'm one of those tidy people who has a habit
of closing his browser.
It was also a lot slower at rendering web pages
than the likes of Konqueror, at least on my
system. I was using Konqueror myself for the
speed, but of course you sacrifice compatibility
with some websites.
Not with this. With Galeon you get the best of
both worlds.
It launches in no time at all, and without all
that bloated extra stuff that the standard
Mozilla/Netscape interface has, it also renders
pages at *lot* faster.
Thumbs up.

Galeon rocks!
by gLaNDix - Jan 3rd 2001 20:04:38
I think i have found a new permanent browser that will let me (finally)
uninstall NS4x/6!!! I've tried mozilla, but on my P200, it's slow as
molassas... not w/ galeon! i don't like that you have to have a full
install of moz to run it, but i can put up w/ some wasted hdd space to save
some RAM and CPU usage! still can't get it to work correctly w/ gtm, but
atleast for now i can copy the url and use wget/greed to download... now,
if only there was something like it for windows (k-meleon is still too
new), i could be happy at work as well!

When will Galeon be independant?
by Apollyon - Aug 11th 2000 12:12:14
The whole reason I want to use Galeon is the sluggish ways of Mozilla and
many careless bugs in Netscape. But, why use Galeon if it requires Mozilla
to be installed? That defeats the entire purpose for me. Just a thought.

It just uses the rendering engine, not anything else.

It's already independent. It uses Gecko, the same engine that Mozilla

Well, how would one remove unneccessary pieces of the mozilla
installation
and keep Galeon running? I'd like to shrink that huge beast.

It'd be nice if we could install "just Gecko". Unfortunately,
the Mozilla folks seem to have made it rather difficult to deploy Gecko as
a module separate from the rest of the browser. This is fixable in theory;
but it would be a lot of work, and it just might take an uphill battle or
two to get it done.

That's not really true. In order to use Galeon, you must have Mozilla
installed. It is therefore not independant. In order for it to be
considered independant, the Galeon team would have to distribute the Gecko
rendering engine with the package. I don't know what the implications are
for this, in terms of licensing, but I don't think that the Galeon team
would be allowed to do this.
Personally, I think Galeon is a neat frontend for Gecko, but it's
difficult not to scoff when the Galeon manifesto is to produce a bloat-free
browser and the main pre-requisite is one of the most bloated browsers
available :P

Blizzard has said that he will be working on making gtkmozembed more
easily seperatable from the rest of Mozilla at some point, but currently I
think the gtk2 port of Mozilla is more important (since a Galeon
incompatible with Gnome 2.0 would be unfortunate).

Kick ass
by Robert Rendler - Aug 11th 2000 09:57:02
This program kicks some serious butt, it usually take me about 4 mins to
start up mozilla and with this it's 20 secs and its up. Everything works
very well and just as it should and all the pages load very well and super
fast and you don't even need to have all of gnome installed to used it I
just picked up a gnome-libs package off of mandrake's devel archive and it
works great. You can also even import your netscape bookmarks and even the
personal toolbar stuff comes out looking great.
