    Did you try the 2.0 version?
    The Ubuntu repository still has 0.8, which hasn't been updated for several years...

    2.1 will be released probably within the next month or two and have CSS support, so most pages will look more or less normal.

    Still if you have a set of (plain HTML) sites that you know works well with the current Dillo, it's awesome

    I do like the look of Opera 10, but I haven't used it extensively yet. Turbo is also supposedly for "slow connections", which I do not have. I use Shiretoko for normal stuff, and Chromium for when I don't need flash (like on the Ubuntu forums ) Chromium runs circles around Shiretoko, but that's probably due to the fact that it has no plugin support.

    yea i have turbo set to automatic, so it activates itself when my network is being slow. i dont have aslow connection either but my router sometimes is.

    and opera has some really good widgets, and its dockable in the panel

    Epiphany.

    EDIT: You asked to explain why... Well it is faster, lighter, and is compatible with many sites, because it uses the same engine as Firefox (Gecko). It got ugly toolbars that remember me of MSIE 4, but it is customizable.

    Re: Fave browser?

    I think for our family personally, we opt for Firefox by a great margin. The reason for this is the sheer amount of development in add ons that Firefox has. We searched and searched for a simple and effective filtering system in all other browsers we could find. They were all memory hungery, bloated beasts at best. Pro Con Latte add on filter for Firefox actually did the trick. Our family made promises to one another concerning fidelity, and with Firefox and Pro Con Latte we do not even have to second guess ourselves because we can put passwords on the browser filter that not even we ourselves know and that cannot be uninstalled.

    Firefox works for us.
