Galeon is currently under heavy development. It relies on Mozilla, which is also undergoing heavy development. It has bugs and lacks some features, but is usable and gets better each day. Please help improve it by reporting any bugs you find or features you would like added. You should do this by submitting reports at Bugzilla or with the GNOME Bug Report Tool (known as bug-buddy at the command line). |
