The best little known Linux browsers

There are good web browsers for Linux, Firefox, Chromium or Opera, but there are also more browsers that fit all the needs of each user. Let's go over about 5 little-known web browsers for Linux.

Linux browsers: SeaMonkey

This browser is entirely based on Mozilla Firefox code but focused on computers with fewer resources. The functionalities are not exactly the same as Firefox, but it gains in performance and reduced memory consumption. If we have Linux on a very modest configuration computer, this browser is ideal.

Dillo

If SeaMonkey was a browser for low-income teams, Dillo goes a little further. This browser can work perfectly on computers with 128GB of memory. The counterpoint is that it does not support any type of plug-in and that it has some incompatibilities with the latest web technologies. If you are not very demanding in navigation, it is an option.

Ubuntu browser

This browser was released relatively recently and is one of the best in terms of functionality and design. Ubuntu Browser is compatible with all Ubuntu distributions and is adapted to new web technologies. It is a browser that could replace Firefox, Chrome, or Opera if given a chance.

Lynx

Generally, web browsers have a graphical interface, but Lynx stands out from everything and allows you to navigate without having graphics. This web browser is available for all distributions and is ideal for those who just want to see information in the form of text without graphics.

Tor Browser

Tor Browser is a version of Mozilla Firefox that connects to the Tor Network, configured for maximum security in our web browsing. Being based on Firefox, Tor Browser can be installed on any GNU / Linux distribution.
