Mozilla is one of the most popular web browsers for Linux; it runs on most other operating systems as well, including an X window. Start it in the background with:

$ mozilla &

Mozilla provides features you’d expect (browsing, forward and back buttons, bookmarks, history, and so on), plus tabbed browsing, pop-up window suppression, and much, much more. It also has a full-featured email program and Usenet news reader. In the Help menu, select Help Contents to get started, and visit http://www.mozilla.org for full information.

Some other web browsers for Linux include Firebird (a stripped-down Mozilla, http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird), Netscape (based on the same engine as Mozilla, http://www.netscape.com), Opera (http://www.opera.com), Konquerer for KDE (http://www.konquerer.org), Epiphany for GNOME (http://www.gnome.org), and Galeon (also based on Mozilla, http://galeon.sourceforge.net).
