Opinions on lightweight browsers

Jason W:
Namoroka, Shiretoko, Minefiled4, and Minefield5 are built with the urlclassifier disabled, which means you don't have that ever growing urlclassifier.sqlite file, they do not create one.

And that makes a huge difference over time in backups or RAM usage if /home is in RAM.

hiro:
dillo2.tcz has been updated and there's a now a new dillo3.tcz extension available. dillo2 itself is considered stable but built against unstable fltk2 whereas dillo3 has yet to see a stable release, but already uses the stable fltk 1.3 library.

You'll probably also want to enable automatic redirection and cookies.
Please read the online documentation in order to create you own configuration.

Have fun.

sorry for such a late reply.

Minefield is somekind of stripped down Firefox.

It's extremely stripped down
and very fast.

As far as i am aware, it still functions in the same manner as
Firefox but is simple more lean and much faster.

The win32 version of Minefield always seems real quik.

I like QT web browser but can't find the extension of it for tcl.

I have used qt browser for many years. It is a nice quick easy browser.

Thanks

You can always make an extension with the QT browser with a link and an icon like I did..  although I use minefield 4 or 5 now on pc's with limited resources.

;)

netnomad:
now i test and use icecat, it's like minefield6 but uses some plugins that should enhance the security...
additionally i load every time a basic and clean set of standard config files for my surf-session.
no sql or data-collecting journals or other suspect databases...
completed with noscript and some ssh-tunneled-proxies,
i guess that it could be a modern and secure way of web-experience...
no flash or script as long as i don't need them, all multimedia-stuff in that cases when i really want them.
and perhaps the gnu-project or the eff audit the config on the security aspects, too.
