You are right, it is now a fairytale. However, there were times, two or three years ago, when this was reality.But, fairy tales are on a second floor
Pale Moon. It is a forked firefox 25.0, with updates + more.edbarx wrote:You are right, it is now a fairytale. However, there were times, two or three years ago, when this was reality.But, fairy tales are on a second floor
Debatable as they don't take Debian Stable seriously. In wheezy, chromium hit end-of-life/no security support in January 2015 months before jessie went stable. You either had to move from stable (wheezy) to testing (jessie) before it was ready; download and use Google's version of Chrome; or move to another browser.wizard10000 wrote:I prefer chromium as devs seem to take Linux seriously...

With wheezy at EOL April 2016, those of us who 1) only use stable, and 2) use the year overlap between stable and oldstable to transition systems were hung out to dry.
So Firefox it is.

I tried their 64-bit deb, and it installs and run in Jessie, and even played HTML5 Youtube video.The Min browser, short for ‘minimal’, is a streamlined web browser built on the Electron framework (no groaning at the back). Written entirely with CSS and JavaScript, the app is fully open-source.
It describes itself as “a smarter, faster web browser”.
I saw that on omgubuntu. Very interesting... it's electron/chromium based, should be fast...stevepusser wrote:Here's a new minimalist browser called "Min":I tried their 64-bit deb, and it installs and run in Jessie, and even played HTML5 Youtube video.The Min browser, short for ‘minimal’, is a streamlined web browser built on the Electron framework (no groaning at the back).

That, every group of developers worth something could do: the real trick is to instead put together a browser that is (ever increasingly) nothing like that and then force-feed it to end users as something that "adds value" , "promotes personalized content" , "enhances your browsing experience" and so on - whatever that may mean.edbarx wrote:My favourite would be a browser that uses system resources efficiently, doesn't interfere with what I do, works on older hardware, is responsive, is not designed like a magnet for advertisements, and finally and is intelligently designed to render pages legibly when script is disabled.
I'm typing from Min now. It is fast but could sure use some basic features such as the ability to set minimum font size. Maybe it has it but I haven't found it yet. When I logged in to Debian User Forums Min warned me that this site might steal my password. That could get rather boring. Anyway, it is fun to play with and easier to use than some other basic browsers. Thanks for posting about it.stevepusser wrote:Here's a new minimalist browser called "Min":I tried their 64-bit deb, and it installs and run in Jessie, and even played HTML5 Youtube video.The Min browser, short for ‘minimal’, is a streamlined web browser built on the Electron framework (no groaning at the back).

I'm currently typing from Min now as well. I have two biggest gripes: can't hide the menu bar (I've opened an issue on the github page for that, had some people agree with me, but no word from the dev yet- I get the feeling the dev is primarily concerned with MacOS) and the open in new tab doesn't open the new tab in the background like in chrome or firefox, but moves you to the new tab. Very annoying. It is very fast though, I haven't done any measurements so it's entirely subjective but I find it faster than both chrome/(ium) and firefox.Bulkley wrote:I'm typing from Min now.

If we're talking text-based I'd vote for elinks
It's a lynx fork I believe, so pretty similar, but I've had problems with text formatting on lynx, never on elinks.GarryRicketson wrote:Thanks, I am going to try it and see, I have never tried that one.
