Galeon was a Gecko-based web browser created by Marco Pesenti Gritti with a goal to deliver consistent browsing experience to GNOME desktop environment. It gained some popularity in early 2000s due to its speed, flexibility in configuration and features.
The disagreement over the future of Galeon split the development team in 2002, which resulted in departure of browser's initial author and several other developers. This event marked the beginning of the browser's popularity decline, which led to its discontinuation in September 2008. Some of Galeon's features were subsequently ported to Epiphany (now called Web) – the descendent of Galeon.
Galeon made use of Gecko's features including configuration options and standards support. Apart from that, Galeon had several features that were uncommon in browsers at that time:
The project was started by Marco Pesenti Gritti with the goal of creating a web browser that would be fast and consistent with the GNOME desktop environment. The first public version (Galeon 0.6) was released in June 2000.
Tragedies and suffering
I hear them scream
Screaming for help
The prophets preach
The end of the world
Only fools believe their words
No truth without evidence
Its easy to lie
Who can seek the answers
Who can see through the sky
Such a great temptation
Who can carry such a quest
And gain that information
We don't need no god
We don't need no god no more
We don't need a tyrant
We want to love
We want to breathe
We want to be
Rebuild the world
With the knowledge
We retrieve
We want to feel
We want to live
We want to see
Seek the wisdom
From the future
