 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.
