Galeon uses the page rendering engine from Mozilla.  Not code reused
from Mozilla, but the mozilla rendering engine, gecko.  You have to
have Moz installed to use galeon.

I've been pretty damn pleased with Mozilla since 0.9.7.  That was the
first release I was able to ditch Netscape for and 0.9.8 is even
better.  With java and the crossover plugin for viewing QT, I'm pretty
satisfied.
