Chapter 2. The Browser Window

Galeon's interface should be familiar to anyone who has used any popular Web browser like Netscape or Mozilla. There is a menubar at the top of the window, a main toolbar below it, and a statusbar at the bottom of the window. There may also be other toolbars, created by the user for often used bookmarks, as described in Section 4.3.
