 |

I found this browser. It is still lacking, but it has some advantages over dillo in that it can deal with css.
At the moment there are no bookmarks.
Looks promising.

You can get it from synaptic or apt-get install netsurf
What do you think?

I like it better than Dillo and has a better UI.
I been using it for a day and its not bad for surfing.
Had to test deli and liked how fast netsurf was.
Deli getting better but i think i'll stay with AntiX.

1) Using Seamonkey, Firefox or Opera, construct your bookmark collection.
2) Retrieve the bookmarks.html file from where stored and stick in /root.
3) Alternative to #2 would be to symlink to file.
4) Call up /root/bookmarks.html from Netsurf. |
His is how puppy makes links for netsurf.
copy the bookmark file and place it your users home.
and call: | Quote: | | file:///home/harii/bookmarks.html |
change your user home in place of harii
On netsurf--Edit-choices--then add that line in the Homepage URL.
Enjoy

This looks promising. However I am having some issues with this. Cpu spikes to 100% when starting the browser or opening a page. It also will not render the forum pages completely.

On my box it renders this forum ok, but not Mepislovers forum.
No 100% CPU use here either.

Great little browser!! Light, fast, and looks good..... doesn't do tabs though, which is a must for me. Even Dillo does tabs!

I've had the same problem as erie. CPU goes to 100%. Half the pages are not rendered correctly. When I start netsurf with the terminal it starts but I see this in the terminal...
| Quote: | | (netsurf:2560): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_menu_attach_to_widget(): menu already attached to GtkMenuItem |
Forgive my ignorance but what is this telling me?

| I think I'm figuring it out. Something to do with the icons I picked in lxappearance I'm guessing. Just found out synaptic does a similar thing when ran from terminal and a number of icons are missing in synaptic.
