I love how Firefox which at one time was considered a lightweight version of Mozilla now has it's own light-weight variant.

I found an old Phoenix (ver 0.1) binary a while back, super small and snappy. Didn't even have Add-on support then.

You probably haven't heard of them for a good reason...

I thought the same thing before I opened the article; however, I had heard of two of them.

But this forum is full of hackers who create web apps and even though the browsers may be fun for testing, I am doubtful any of those are great tools for dev work seeing as they aren't anything close to even a trivial piece of the browser market share.

Either way, I was appreciative of learning about new browsers. A couple of them look like the could be worth candidates to try firebug on =]

Stainless is great for manually testing multiple logged in accounts.

Damn, and I thought I was going go get go read about obscure browsers I work with like Fresco, Galio, Ekioh or Ipanel to name a few.

Most of these look like just extensions of the "big" ones, optimized for specific purposes...

Wow, I'm genuinely irritated at myself for now having heard about Lunascape. Trying it out now, and am impressed so far, recommended for web devs/designers out there:

Why don't you get happy with yourself for finding this information, instead?

A browser that is not mentioned but I highly recommend over anything else: http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html

Also: Shiira [http://shiira.jp/en.php] (Mac OS X only)

I was all excited until this:

Shiira 2.2 (for Mac OS X 10.4, Universal Binary) (released on 2007/7/18)

Yeah, the ones I haven't heard of are all Mac OS specific. Not a surprise, since I prefer Ubuntu.

I'll take your six and raise you
