Re: Favorite browser
^ Gave Midori a spin yesterday. Sometimes it just opens the website very slowly. Didn't crash on me for the whole surfing session. I think that if it crashes, it is the same reason as for Roaster (eg.) on github. So, something about gtk/webkit.

Re: Favorite browser
^absolutely agree. Oddly, funny, hilarious enough, one site that consistently crashed webkit (dwb, midori, roaster) is ... wait for it ... that's right, munchville.
just a little sunday morning trivia
EDIT: hmph, just tested again on roaster with munchville, and no crash. Don't have dwb or midori. But I swear, it did happen. Of course it did, that's why I posted it.

Re: Favorite browser
Interesting fact about munchville on roaster crashing. Do you mean the main site? Maybe core has done something with the .js files there?

Re: Favorite browser
no, the browser itself crashed. It was like clockwork. Roaster, dwb, midori, once I went to munch forums, the browser crashed. Of course, when I tested for the last post, it was fine. So who knows.

Re: Favorite browser
OK, I've been playing around with DWB, and I gotta say, I'm hooked. I tried Midori, but my tests are about the same as Bacon's with it double-clutching whenever it found something on a page it didn't like. But DWB, I'm liking this.
The keys are Vim-like enough that I can get by with the main stuff without having a manpage open next to it. A little i3 action and a fullscreen DWB is just what the doctor would have ordered if he'd been cool enough to think of it.

Re: Favorite browser
short little update:
been playing with vimprobable2 and luakit tonight. Both are really lite on RAM and CPU, so it might be interesting to give them a spin. Attention: vimprobable2 needs a bunch of shit to build (libgtk-2.0-dev, libwebkit-dev, libsoup-dev). luakit can be slimmed down by editing the config file and putting "--" in front of unneeded plugins.

Re: Favorite browser
Back to using Firefox 29.0.1 (I had downgraded to 24.5-ESR). My biggest frustration had been that FF Sync seemed all screwed up, but the reason is because they changed how Sync works, requiring recreating your Sync account. The good news is that Sync is much easier to set up now.

Re: Favorite browser
Using netsurf right now. Light, fast, good. For this old Acer is a nice add.
Re: Favorite browser
Installed dwb in Arch yesterday. Liking it a lot, so far. It was either that, or uzbl. Chose dwb because there were less dependencies.
Re: Favorite browser
^ I used dwb for a while. Quite liked it, but I'm going that minimal I still prefer surf. I'm talking about the interface, not the dependencies.
Re: Favorite browser
^^ dwb is super nice. I want to fine a browser similar to this but without the shortcut keys. My reasoning behind that is because I already have so many keybinds to remember for my i3 set up, that I do not want to deal with memorizing more:D
UPDATE: Looking more into it, it might be worth my while to memorize these shortcut keys. They are very simple once looked up :p

Re: Favorite browser
Did we talk already about this one?

Qt5 based.
Edit: They want to support multiple rendering engines, Webkit, Gecko, Blink.

Re: Favorite browser
@elixir dwb's keybindings do seem strange if you're not a vim guy. I have the same reaction when I'm looking at something with EMACS keybindings. They seem like a foreign language.
Re: Favorite browser
I've been watching this one with some interest. Didn't know they were going to expand beyond Qt5, though. Could be a good one.ivanovnegro wrote:Did we talk already about this one?

Not sure about this one. It is just a Chrome clone using also Blink with adds all over the place and only some Opera-ish things nobody really needs.

Re: Favorite browser
^ Just saw this, too. I had thought Opera 12.16 was the last Linux release they were going to do, but I guess they changed their mind.
