Netsurf

(1/7) > >>

daniel l.:
It's a lightweight browser. More modern and capable than Links or Dillo, but still extremely light. It doesn't play video, but unlike most, it does get the general formatting for simpler websites correct.

It also has a framebuffer version, netsurf-fb, that runs entirely without X. Which makes it perfect for kiosks or console junkies.

Hi daniel l.
You should also mention which architecture you are looking for. X86, X86_64, or ARM.

Pats:
By the way, Netsurf browser was already available in TC 3.x repo   by Jason W , if IIRC !

Juanito:
netsurf posted to tc-9.x x86 repo

There's an error in TC10 and  TC 9 I believe.

In netsurf-gtk when I want to go to http://tinycorelinux.net
I get "BadEncoding" error.

Netsurf don't work with some sites with iso-859-1, iso-2022-jp, windows-1250, windows-1252 encoding. For example http://tinycorelinux.net use iso-859-1 encoding.

Acording to this site:
bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2111
It has something to do with libiconv. The solution is to set
NETSURF_USE_LIBICONV_PLUG := NO
before compilation and use external libiconv like this
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.16.tar.gz

I also wonder that this browser support video playback and export pages  to PDF file. There is also javascript support but it's unstable and disable by default.
