The things i've noticed Galeon 1.3 lacking: - image blocking by site via right-click on image - user.css support (great for image blocking at finer granularity) - proper acroread plugin interaction (probably ditto other plugins) - meta links toolbar element - as much stability as galeon 1.2.x; still crashes are pretty rare. That's roughly in their order of importance to me. > > image blocking, better tab > > handling and better smart bookmarks (especially with regards to Oddly a smart bookmark of the form http://bugs.debian.org/%s rendered (and possibly worked) under Galeon 1.2.x, but sensibly doesn't render under 1.3 as there is no good form representation without a ? before the %s. > > international characters) and far superior session management. > Please give further details than "better" and "far superior". > In terms of session management, there has been discussion on this > recently in the galeon-devel mailing list.

Every time i close Galeon 1.3.3 i lose my tabs. Is that a recent accident, or is it intentional? gconf-editor gives me no indication of whether galeon actually uses a given key, of course. > > My idea is to remake the Mozilla 1.3 package compiled for GTK1. > > I need further opinions on this. My personal opinion is that this should > not be done. My opinion is that while Galeon 1.3 has so many "missing" features, users should not be implicitly forced to ditch their 1.2.x. I've grown to like 1.3, but that's largely for anti-aliasing and because i've found other places to do my pdf reading. I'd really like to have my image management back (via user.css or right-click block). -m -- Michael Urman [- [email protected] -] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
