Light Browser
Light Browser
Has anyone had any luck installing the Light browser (aka Firefox Lite) on their system? It seems like it might not be maintained anymore, but there is an RPM available through SourceForge. I haven't tried it yet because I'm afraid of borking my system with it. Has anyone had success with it?

If you use these extensions for Firefox you dramatically reduces the weight of the web pages and you make Firefox more responsive:
- Privacy Badger
- Ublock Origin
- Disconnect
- Decentraleyes

Re: Light Browser
These are certainly the best candidates for privacy and speed, but they overlap in their efforts and as Disconnect advises, some of them won't work as advertised if the others are present. Therefore, I nominate Ublock Origin, Firefox itself, and Decentraleyes as able to work together. Privacy Badger has the advantage of not needing block lists or configuration. I don't know about Disconnect, but I will study it. Thanks for the reference. I hope that eventually Firefox will be able to do all these functions.Danielsan wrote:If you use these extensions for Firefox you dramatically reduces the weight of the web pages and you make Firefox more responsive:...

Re: Light Browser
If you want a light browser, you must go for an old one.... Im using Operav42 since years, and still doing it, just cos new javascript engines eats a lot of CPU, and my laptop is from 2008. I just once a weak or so clean the home browswer profile with rsync to clean it and prevent any possible worm..,I also blocked extensions in browser with chattr so no hacker cant install anything in remote thought a hole or security bug.zadiste wrote:Has anyone had any luck installing the Light browser (aka Firefox Lite) on their system?

Re: Light Browser
Since any superlight browser seems to be suggested here: netsurf, either from the repos, or newer versions here: http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/pool/test/n/netsurf/

Re: Light Browser
I thinks this might be a great option for someone looking for a light browser
SeaMonkey 2.53.1 uses the same backend as Firefox and contains the relevant Firefox 60.3 security fixes.
