The goal of this section is indeed talking about major browsers, the
audience is the newcomer to FreeBSD.  Firefox (and Mozilla, well Mozilla
part should be removed since Firefox is now preferred), Opera and
Konqueror can be seen as major browsers since they can really render any
site.  Dillo, links, lynx, w3m, etc. are light-weight browsers, they can't
be seen as major browsers for obvious reasons...

The current layout of the page is not bad and I don't see the need to
add links, lynx, w3m to the table since we don't talk about them.
I've no objection about adding something regarding Dillo, but we must be
honest with the reader: Dillo cannot render correctly and be used on
every websites around the world.

This part is a bit "messy", it must be reworked and be sure it's working
and stable.  I have to do some tests.

I'll work on an update of the browsers page.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

This PR should have been closed since a while.  This section has been 
updated to match Flash 9 and Flash on both 7.X and 8.X branches, the 
rest was discussed in the audit-trail.
