Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Also Comes with the Internet Browser from Ubuntu Touch

Ubuntu Touch comes with its own browser, developed by Canonical, but Ubuntu 14.04 LTS users can also employ it.

The browser from Ubuntu Touch has been included by default in Ubuntu 14.04, at least so far. It's unsure whether it's going to remain installed by the end of the development cycle or if it's going to get removed.

Aptly named Browser, it features a very simple experience for users, with little to no options. You get a short history log, which is combined with the Bookmarks, and that's about it.

It will be interesting to see what the exact use of this app is in the context of a desktop distribution, but the software is stable and complete. It's also interesting to play around with.

The browser is built on Webkit and identifies as Ubuntu if you check the user Agent. Go ahead and have fun!
