Importance of Galeon

Galeon was developed at a time when the important web browser such as Mozilla, Netscape and Internet Explorer failed to provide optimum service. It was started as a desirable alternative to these popular web browsers because they proved to be very slow. Another important aspect of Galeon, which also accounted for its popularity, is that it introduced the concept of “Smart Bookmarks”.
