Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
I'm thinking full feature but light may ultimately be best. Midori I like, but haven't used for awhile. Does it still crash alot? Epiphany is nice and light, but lots of gnome dependencies?
Suprised not to see iceape or even opera. TBH, since Kielbasa iceape is my default. Lite, fast, resource friendly. The Opera Next channel is pretty similar now with iceape I think with lightness and speed.
I think the off the beaten path browsers like uzbl and dwb are the types of browsers users will install on their own to add onto the primary.
So with that, I voted - Other

Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
i always try to use epiphany(web)
it is just a plain fast browser
that crashes alot
although less than midori
but it keeps getting better
i find if its in a gnome setting it works sterling
i also dont need all the bells and whistles of the big ones

I'm also using iceape -- I was having problems with iceweasel refusing to load some pages, hogging the CPU and making my machine run hot (no matter which kernel I used) so I switched to iceape.

Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
I wanted to vote for PornTerm as I really like it but I tested them all and for me the most usable and functional is still the slow Weasel/Fox.
Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
I have actually tried all these browsers over the years and am always back to Firefox / Iceweasel. I would not say that other browsers "worse" are. There are some real gems with visionary approaches. However, most have no possibilities to move halfway obscured the internet.
Some use Iceape here. What is the advantage over Iceweasel?

^ Iceape is like a suite, you get a mail/news reader, a WYSIWYG html editor, a browser and an addressbook/calendar in one. And it's still as 'responsive' on overload pages (google plus, minus) as it should be.

Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
I know i'm the only one and there's evil qt dependencies but: Qupzilla is light and fast and stable.
Avatars are bloat

Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
Surprised to see how little love Chromium gets (though I really like it, recently more than the browsers with animals in their names)

hmm, chromium is good if you feel bad for your unused RAM.

Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
I like luakit best. It is fast, customizable, small, and baked in noscript & userscript support. Also, it is keyboard (vimperator keybinds) driven. Last I recall, there is not gtk in it.
Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
Until now I alwais use iceweasel/Firefox due to all the additional plugin ...
in the future I plan to try chrome/chromium
As for Midori I've try it in bodhi linux but don't like it too much

That is the very reason. :)dkeg wrote:hmm, chromium is good if you feel bad for your unused RAM.
Re: BBQ Democrat - Web Browser
i use Chromium for Google Hangouts. for some reason Iceweasel does not enjoy them, and will crash after some time (especially with the chat opened next to the video). Chromium does not have those issues. so i have them side-by-side.
