In the new distro of Raspbian? I have done searches here but cannot find anything about whether or not I can use Chromium or Iceweasle on Raspbian Jessie. I would like to test browsers and find out which is fastest for my needs.

Running Raspbian Jessie on a Pi2b, about to upgrade to a pi3b.

You can install both though chromium needs a 3rd party binary install or to built from source. To install iceweasel use the following command:

sudo apt-get install iceweasel

Details on installing chromium can be found here, you can also build from source

  • thank you. In your experience, which is better? Chromium or Iceweasle? Or are they basically comparable?

  • I am not sure there is that much difference, unless you need a specific function or api. If you need support for a specific feature you can check browser support at caniuse.com.
