Opera. Still find it fastest of the full fledged browsers for an old and weak PC. Chrome is also good in that regard but it's poor security makes it a no go for me.

The other one I like to use for simple tasks is Jumanji.

Ooold thread, I know.

NetSurf

I use chrome, as it has all my bookmarks there, on every machine I log on to, or phone, or...whatever.

I also try links2 some times, and netsurf-fb when I am not in x, even if it is a little wierd

At the original time of this survey, I was using (and recommending) the use of Iceape rather than Iceweasel or Firefox. My reasoning at the time is that a single Iceape instance at that time was consuming less memory resources than a single Firefox instance, and yet if you are running a Firefox instance AND some other Email client, so much the more so.

A lot of people now run Web-based clients (I often do, too) but when I run a browser, most often I am using a Mozilla-based browser, and when I run on antiX (especially antiX Core), it is nearly always my own selection of the seamonkey-nightly binary, as opposed to Iceape.

I do frequently run Google Chrome, too, especially when I am using Windows 7, where I nearly always replace Internet Explorer with either Firefox or Google Chrome in the work environment. At home, I am much more likely to stick with nightly builds of either Firefox or Seamonkey.

So recently it doesn't matter much which browsers are included; I generally grab my own browsers anyway.

I voted for iceweasel because it dioes allow me to watch D-O videos on YouTube

Chrome, Firefox, Midori, Qupzilla. If and when Opera ever puts out an updated Linux version of their browser, I'll start using it again. I like the newer Opera browser under Windows and OS X.

newer opera was just released (version 26). its 64 bit only though. official support is only for the 'buntus.

Thanks for the info. 64-bit works for me; that's all I use now. 'buntu support may not be an issue; I've used other apps (e.g. Rainlendar) that were advertised being for 'buntu but worked well under vanilla Debian. You do have to be careful though.

Edit: Bummer...I just downloaded it and attempted to install it under my CrunchBang 11 instance and it requires libc6 > 2.15. Should work under my antiX instance though. __{{emoticon}}__

Try linking your libc6 to libc6-2.15.

@fatmac: Do you have a link to a reference? I'm not sure what you're suggesting or how to do it.

Sorry, not been here for a few days, try 'man ln' in a terminal for the whole story.

Code: Select all

ln -s <what> <where>

Another way to say the same thing:

ln -s /original/file /new/link

Oh, okay, so you're basically saying create a soft link. I've done that a few times. I'll have to do some research on how to have more than one version of libc6 installed. I know libc6 is an important file and I don't want to hose my system.

Discovered a new one recently via a post over at the CrunchBang forums:


========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://vivaldi.com"
linktext was:"https://vivaldi.com"
====================================


It's based on the Google Chrome browser and one of the developer's was one of the original developers of the Opera browser. Vivaldi is a really nice spin on the Chrome browser. The only annoying thing I've encountered so far is that the text size changes for unknown reasons sometimes while typing on a site. Other than that, the browser is really nice to use IMO. I believe it currently will only work in 64-bit environments.

Oh, another annoying thing. You are prompted to save passwords when you log on to a site. There doesn't seem to be a way currently to disable that functionality. You don't have to save a password, but being prompted each time is annoying.

Re-learning myself with links2 browser. It does a lot more than it used to.
