my wife is using it too, but not as a primary browser. She mainly
prefers opera, then ff then galeon. Conversely I primarily use galeon
(about 10 windows about 20 tabs each), then opera (5 windows) then ff
(1 window).

yeah!

that is a mystery to me. .pdf's stopped crashing just as mysteriously
as they started to. I blame flash crashes on adobe plugin, but
(seldom) javascript crashes are rather galeon's fault...

I believe though, that a more careful code in galeon which calls
external plugins would avoid crashes due to broken plugins.

wow, does it seem that mostly polish people are using galeon, and
they are scattered all over the world? :) I'm in France now, but I'm
going back to PL this month. Then visiting US and maybe Australia :> funny.
