Hello
which web browser is preferring for x86 arch? Now there is no chromium, midori doesn't load and firefox has permanent issue #4247 / issue #4248 which makes it almost useless... Is there any good-working browser?
Alpine is perfect for 64bit (extremely fast, extremely lightweight and extremely nice at all) and I like it. But it looks weak for 32bit just now... unfortunately.
there is Dillo, if you can live with its limitations.
I'm in the process of building net-surf, which might work on x86. If you have any recommendations, you could put a package request in at bugs.alpinelinux.org
Thank you,
I will take a look
Just built the netsurf package.
Keep an eye out for it in edge, would be helpful if you could test it on x86, assuming it builds
Sorry, but I didn't find the netsurf package for Alpine just now. I will wait )))
Anyway I will test Alpine for x86 only after next weekend
http://patchwork.alpinelinux.org/patch/1886/
It should make it in soon
Is this Netsurf browser a reliable browser? How should it be installed?
Any first hand experiences?
I just don't like to use Chrome and I'm not keen on using Firefox either. Btw Dillo browser requires the package fltk (does not install it automatically).
