Last time I had the Hurd installed on any hardware (looks like 2004), the only web browsing option was lynx. It sounds like things have improved since then?

Looking at the wikipedia page, the project seems to have some focus issues, with people periodically starting to port Hurd to other microkernels and then stopping due to lack of time. It would be interesting to have a side-by-side comparison with other similar projects like Tannenbaum's own Minix 3.
