In GNOME 2, there is no default web browser.  While nautilis-gtkhtml is
kind of one, the nautilus team decided it was piss-poor, and removed web
browser support from nautilus.  (Those running GNOME 2 might have
noticed the bookmarks disappeared from the menu).

Galeon is really the best choice for a GNOME 1 or 2 web browser.  While
it is a GNOME 1 application, it will run just fine under GNOME 2.

Yep.  And gnome-fifth-toe will compile and run under GNOME 2 without any
problems (or at least it should).
