QtWeb 3.8.4 browse the web in Puppy unicorNOPen

QtWeb 3.8.4 browse the web in Puppy unicorNOPen
The best audio and video i have ever got with Puppy ! but i ignore if QtWeb is the cause
Nevertheless, i will try QtWeb 3.8.4 by the musher0 method. If ever i failed, Musher0 would be of some help because he speaks french fluently.

Qt dependancies are included in bin

Qt dependancies are included in bin, told me Medor, in french here That is the reason ldd has no result.
QTWEB works perfectly at home, excepted uploading videos to You tube..
But i don't experience a lot of sites. Facebook and our forum are ok (one browser refuse to access the Puppy forum, i dont remember which one) :?

Hey, GG.

I don't know whether there's a .pet for this kicking around the forum anywhere. I've been doing some searching around for you.....and, although there are plenty of older versions available out there, they're almost all of them Windows .exes.....there's hardly any older Linux versions out there at all.

I can only presume that you want this particular version for a specific reason. The 3.8.5 version compiled for JP-431 seems to run A-OK in the widest range of Pups; would that not do you? It's more secure than the 3.7.2 version, which was known to be vulnerable to a 'denial of service' (DDOS) exploit a few years back:-

I have a copy of this in my MediaFire a/c, here:-

Hi Mike - thanks for the links. I tried the -jp version (as well as others) but for some reason I get constant ssl errors. I can only make QtWeb run if I accept the "Yes to all" choice when ssl errors are thrown up - and that simply ignores the errors which I assume is a risky approach.

I particularly want a lightweight browser for a laptop I have that lacks the SSE2 cpu flag and i am finding that some of the older versions of browsers are more suitable than later ones - hence the search for versions that other puppians use on similarly old hardware.

what should i change in the settings ?

#108 Post by Pelo »

why no access to Facebook and You Tube with QtWeb 3.7.3 ? what should i change in the settings ?
I suppose my puppy-builder wanted to prevent me to go there, and set Qt-Web unabled to visit the sites :evil:

version 3.8.5 on try.. Unicorn was built with 3.8.4.

version 3.8.5 on try.. Unicorn was built with 3.8.4... which gets me very nervous... Sure Light 48 loaded as SFS on the fly get better results.
3.8.5 not better, unable to answer to my thousands of friends on Facebook (Unicorn 6.0). I can just answer in some fora, after authorization, as forum for discussion about Puppy Linux (this one)
