Galeon lacks features and Phoenix (otoh) doesn't have bloat...  So which way
do you want it? ;)

Actually, I was thinking that Galeon was getting off-the-rails as far as
its "Just the Web" philosophy goes.  It has tabs, gestures, a download
manager, password manager, cookie manager, etc...  what other features do
you want?

Must have a look at Phoenix anyway.  Thanks for the tip.
