[edit] Opera

Opera web browser is still missing in the list. I don't know, however, into which category Opera belongs. --Maxl 16:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Oops, I just found it. It's not correctly sorted into the alphabetical list. I'll change that. --Maxl 16:53, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The following text appears on the page, "Aushim was here", Possible vandalism

[edit] External links.

Shouldn't each browser have a link to additional information? All the browsers which have a wiki article have such a link. Creating additional wiki articles "just" for the purpose of providing an external link to additional information seems like a bad idea.

I see nothing in the Wiki External Links articles which justifies deleting the external links from browsers which do not have an internal link. A list by definition is little more than a set of categorized links. A list entry without a link isn't very useful and forces the wiki user to use a search engine to find additional information.

The issue of whether lists belong on Wiki is another issue all together, but Wiki lists which do exist should not be intentionally made hard to use.

I agree - it's not always clear what lists are called and which are not... Regardless (sortta) I have added ext.links to Chimera (NOT Camino) & DeepNet MonstaPro 00:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Omission

Someone needs to add David T. Pierson's "WannaBe" browser - Mac OS 8/9's best ever text-browser. Some people still run it! --Beforedecay 20:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Preliminary searches through Google prove inconclusive; however I did find something! MonstaPro 01:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I am not certain of what your search proves. Is the article supposed to be an exhaustive list of web browsers that exist and have existed or only the top few ones? Thanks --Beforedecay 20:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
