3.2.3.4 Web Browsers
Linux is a first class citizen for the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Both are open source web browsers that are fast, feature-rich, and have excellent support for web developers. These packages are an excellent example of how competition helps to drive open source development – improvements made to one browser spur the development of the other browser. As a result, the Internet has two excellent browsers that push the limits of what can be done on the web, and work across a variety of platforms. Using a browser, while second nature for many, can lead to privacy concerns. By understanding and modifying the configuration options, one can limit the amount of information they share while searching the web and saving content.
