So here's 10 best web browser that you can install and use on xubuntu/ubuntu operating system, i hope this can give you an idea that you got a lot of choices when it comes to web browser on xubuntu, note that some of these browser are open source and some are not.
1. Google Chrome
Without doubt google chrome is probably the first choice for everybody when it comes to web browser. The fact that google chrome is a proprietary software doesn't stop you from using it. You can install google chrome on xubuntu by following this tutorial.
2. Chromium
Chromium is the open source version of google chrome, that's probably the only different between the two. Google chrome is proprietary and maintain by google, while chromium is open source and maintain by community of developers.
Because chromium is open source software, chromium is available as part of xubuntu/ubuntu repository, so you can install chromium like this:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install chromium-browser3. Mozilla Firefox
Firefox is the default web browser on most linux distribution including xubuntu, because it's already there, you don't need to install anything, just use it. In my opinion firefox is one of the best web browser in the universe.
4. Opera
Opera is one of the oldest web browser that available on almost every platform, such as linux, windows, mac, and android. Opera is also available on xubuntu but not from the official repository, you need to download and install opera manually, lucky for you i already create tutorial on how to install opera web browser on xubuntu.
