Apps :: Lightweight Browser with Javascript and Cookies



Thanks once again, still learnin' here.  I appreciate the kind approach.
Greetings all !

  Just a quick note.. I am using firefox on a THinkpad 770.
I would also advise.. doing a Google for making firefox faster..
there you will find information about the settings in FireFox
called ABOUT:CONFIG   ( wihch you type in your browser address bar) .. to change a  couple of setting to make the rendering faster.
it wont make it lightning fast.. but it will improve performance.

Peace!

Concerning links, it loads in text mode by default, which might be why you're thinking it sucks.  Loading it with the "-g" parameter should load it up with a gui, and clicking the bar at the top should display the menu.  I'm not sure if this applies to the version in myDSL.
Here is my list of browsers sorted by functionality and "footprint".

netrik (minimal text browsing. Best bang-for-buck)
lynx (the original text browser)
links (improved text browsing with optional compiled-in graphics support)
dillo (minimal graphics browsing)
links-hacked (supercharged version of the links graphical browser.  Not quite full-featured but still very good)
opera (full featured graphical browsing with high speed and relatively small footprint)
firefox (full featured, fully customizable, open-source graphical browser)

So if dillo is missing features and opera is too heavy for you, I would give links-hacked a try.

It is available in the mydsl repository UCI section, but it is filed as "glinks" instead of "links-hacked".  Here is the link to the extension:

Link-hacked just didn't have enough lavascript support, and really that's what I'm looking for -- in a package with a small footprint.  Links2 may work for that.

Problem now is that when I apt-get install links2 I get the error,
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs.

I tried using the -o apt:force-loopbreak option last night, but it trashed the system.  I've reinstalled, any suggestions on how to get past that apt-get issue?
