info's major problem is that it's interface SUCKS, there's no real 'back' command, the keybindings are just plain weird (unless you're an EMACS user...).
It'd be nice to have an info viewer that converts to HTML on the fly and uses webkit to render it.

Have you tried going to System -> Help? GNOME's "Yelp" supports browsing info docs - providing a web browser style GUI...

Don't use GNOME, I wonder how much of GNOME Yelp pulls in

You could use konqueror instead
konqueror info:tar

Don't use KDE either... I use XFCE and try to keep most of the GNOME stuff not installed.

Well, if you want a web interface style GUI for info, but don't want to install either of the main two GUI environments, then... ;) Pinfo possibly is closest to what you want. A lynx/elinks style browser interface, for the terminal.
