Functionalities

Available in English, French and Japanese.

Support of the Navigation by miter, which allows

to open several windows at the same time
to have several simultaneous pages of starting

Possibility of having a “bar of forms” personnalisable (to have an search engine integrated into this bar for example)

Generation of a gate starting from the Favorite

Proposes after a crash landing three possibilities:

to restore the situation: it automatically reopens the pages which you were seeing before the crash landing
being unaware of the situation, and to put the pages in the bookmarks
not to launch Galeon

Galeon, like much of other navigators (free or not), does not support by defect the flash and the applet java.

Despite everything its advantages, galeon is dedicated to disappear. Indeed Epiphany and galeon was in direct competition within GNOME because both based on Gecko, and it is in good logic that on October 22nd, 2005 its developers decided to be combined with the developers Epiphany.
