What Browser Do You Use?

u/p2 December 19, 2016, 09:09:41 AM

nothing secret or personal, just ment "not work-related" as this device is for work stuff.
So I moved all private stuff in another browser which I dont open except when taking a break

I completely forgot about Qupzilla, it's a pretty good browser but again, no alternatives to noscript or cookie controller.

Not sure if this is already implemented, but webengine should allow chrome extensions to be used, so you could give umatrix a try. I'm not sure about cookie controller (though it has some cookie features), but it definitely has everything noscript does and is much better. It's by the same author and shares code with ublock origin.

aah, uMatrix, I really like that one ^^
It gives you much better ways of blocking specific stuff compared to NoScript (using both) ^^

u/novenary December 19, 2016, 09:55:45 AM

You don't need them both though, since you can configure umatrix to do noscript's job.

I have noscript set to filter the worst c while my uMatrix is super detailed with thousands of settings, so whenever I do need JS functionality anyways I can deactivate uMatrix but still have the worst stuff blocked by NoScript

(So I dont have to change lots of settings everytime and still dont have to allow too much stuff) ^^

That works, but then why not use ublock instead?

u/p2 December 19, 2016, 10:02:06 AM

erm.... actually I never heard of it before...

u/novenary December 19, 2016, 10:04:16 AM

Well it's the same "engine" as umatrix (make sure you use ublock origin, not the other version), but with less fine-grained controls and adblock compatibility for blocklists. You need to enable advanced mode to manually block scripts and such.

Been a while I checked on Dillo, but it's designed to work on devices as low as the 486 with almost no memory. Of course, speed comes with a price, it does not support everything and fancy websites relying on latest technology will not render correctly. Still useful when you want a web browser on a distro that fits in 12 MB.

Could it run on the Nspire CX with a wifi dongle if Linux is still supported?

u/p2 December 19, 2016, 02:36:37 PM

wait... there's a way to get a linux running on an nSphire CX (CAS)?

u/Yuki December 19, 2016, 07:11:45 PM

Vivaldi has tab suspending integrated, which is pretty useful.

And yeah, there's a way to put Linux on an nSpire CX, if you plug a wifi dongle in there there's definitely a way to browse the web.

u/p2 December 19, 2016, 07:28:53 PM

can you link a tutorial for that?

I definitely want to do that!!

I'm late replying to this, but there's Linucx, which was worked on on Omni around 2012-13 or so. There's a long thread about it there called Calling all Linux devs or something. It was mostly abandoned, though.

No one has said it yet, but since I am not an old timer: I use Microsoft Edge.

u/Dream of Omnimaga June 26, 2020, 07:32:47 PM

I would not mind the newer version of Edge as it's based on Chromium but I already use Chrome so I don't really feel the need to switch.

Nice to see you again @Dudeman313 by the way
