Which Browser is Best for Puppy
Web browser!
http is only a one file transfer protocol, personally I find that using wget works great
Mind you Barry's html has a lot of white space so it is helpful to pipe it through sed to strip out the blank lines.

While an sfs could accomplish that, I am not too thrilled with IE, not to mention that it is NOT directly compatible with Linux. Also, IE barely works on the websites I visit or maintain (it can be a headache to script in code to make a website viewable in IE with CSS). The only reason I can think of for IE not being listed is because it is not directly compatible with Linux and hence could never be installed without use of an emulator. Besides, last I knew, IE7 couldn't pass the Acid2 Test (at least IE7 on my wife's XP laptop couldn't).pupshock wrote:I like Opera, but i can't believe that Internet Explorer is not
up there. It's the most compatible with all the websites : )
Dillo, Puppy current default web browser, has a nice display, but it can't run javascript, the client side scripting required by many sites. So I can't use Dillo for my daily browsing.
Midori can run javascript, and still light and fast. Although I may won't use Midori for something related to security thing like online-banking*, I can use it for my daily browsing.
So I think I'll vote for MIDORI, but it's not in the list ^_^'

*for 2 reasons: (1) I don't know about its security, using Big Browser like Chrome or Firefox is wise (2) I don't know how to do online-banking

I don't have an answer to this question as I like to have at least two browsers on my machine at any one time. Usually I have one of the Mozilla browsers (Firefox or Seamonkey) on, and Opera as well, because I think Opera handles downloads better.
I'm impressed by the private tab feature Opera has, where you can choose not to leave any trace of your activities when opening a new tab.

These days I'm tempted to install a lighter, non-Flash or Java browser such as Dillo too because a lot of web pages now take a long time to load otherwise.

I've tried epiphany several times, and unfortunately it keeps crashing. I don't think it's very stable (on my machine at any rate). I agree with your last line though - even with broadband, page loading can get slow especially in the evenings when a lot of people are trying to get online at once.gabriel_007 wrote:How about epiphany? Imho it's even more efficient than Firefox - I use it on my Debian machine. Noone ever considered Epiphany?
Come to think of it - anything with the option to turn off flash (although it is sometimes necessary) would be great, as it is slaughtering my old pc, making web browsing a nasty experience.

browser info
For multi-device syncing, Win and Linux (which is the reality for many), travelling and home/office purposes, Google chrome seems practical solution to many issues, once set up. Thanks to those updating the puppy chrome versions.
