You just set your own start page or a blank start page in the basic galeon options, surely? > --make the tab close on middle-button click (ala Firefox) > make new tab open on doubleclick in free space ((like Firefox) > undo close tab on middleclick in free space (like a tab extension for > Firefox) None. Use firefox if unhappy ;-). Seriously, 1/ I don't use that feature, instead to close a tab I use the "x" on each tab or right click on the tab to bring up context menu; 2/ right click on link to bring up context menu and choose open in new tab, or I think there is an option to make this the default action - see gconf-editor; 3/ no equivalent in galeon, sadly :-( > search through all text in webpage, and not just links, when i start > typing You mean typing in the address bar? Otherwise cntrl+f to find anything on a page. That works in any browser and many apps. > have fullscreen really be full screen (no toolbars, address bar) Don't use it myself. Try looking in the options and in gconf-editor.
