Opinions on lightweight browsers

<< < (5/6) > >>

netnomad:
i used midori now for some months and i started to love it.
everything seemed to work fine...
but with version 3.6 some misfunctions started, especially the cache is displayed with artifacts,
f.e. if you follow a link backwards.
in the actual version of midori the cookies are not deleted after leaving the program,
although the setup "delete after exit" should delete cookies, too.

my main reason to return back to firefox was that i think the plugin "no-script" is essentially for security and privacy!
what i don't like in firefox are these huge cache-, sql- and journal-files,
so i configured and optimized a trimmed down set of files as my minimum requirement and
reload them at every reboot.
the biggest size has the no-script-plugin, the rest is o.k.!

roberts:
After using any new browser, I always open an xterm and run  filetool.sh -d
Then I can see any large cache and sqlite files that I will consider to add to .xfiletool.lst,
Repeating this process I can easily keep by backups quick.

vinceASPECT:
the fastest fully compatable browser i used in Linux is Minefield closely
followed by epiphany. Opera is very fast but things don't work out of the box
like flash.

hi roberts,
can you sort the output of filetool.sh -d,
f.e. to sort per size through pipe or per option?
... to find the really big growing files easily!

hi vinceASPECT
is Minefield just a rebranded Firefox or are there more differences?

thanks

You can sort the output with a command like this:


--- Code: ---filetool.sh -d | egrep -v "Performing dry run|^Total|^$" | sort -n

--- End code ---
