Scarcely pausing for breath, Vroomfondel shouted, "We DON'T demand solid facts! What we demand is the total ABSENCE of solid facts. I demand that I may or may not be Vroomfondel!"

I bring order to chaos. You are in chaos windows, you are the contradiction, a bug wishing to be an OS.

Interesting. Of course the total goes up if you add the X Windows web browsers.

Let's recap, shall we:
Code:
Camino: Undercooked.
Firefox: Undercooked.
IE: Abandoned.
iCab: Underpowered.
Mozilla: Bloated.
Netscape: AKA Mozilla
OmniWeb: AKA Safari Extreme
Opera: A Mess.
Safari: Apple.
Shiira: (I have no idea!)
Trailblazer: Concept showcase.
BumperCar: "For the children."
Lynx: "For the CLI-lover."
OmniWeb probably has the best potential since the open source movement has a severe usability brain-drain.
It seems too many developers don't grasp that a light-weight and efficient browser doesn't mean it needs to be feature-deprived. Or that feature-rich has to mean bloated.

I'd actually call Shiira "Safari Extreme Lite"

And nobody loves BumperCar? It seems to be Omni-based...
