Title: New Browsers
Post by: datathief on April 10, 2008, 09:20:36 am

Has anyone tried any of these lightweight browsers?

• Hv3 (http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/hv3.html)
• NetSurf (http://www.netsurf-browser.org/) (in the Debian repos)
• Fennec (http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile) (possible debs here (http://people.mozilla.org/~vladimir/repo/))

Hmm....

"NetSurf beat off stiff competition to win the 2007 award"

I would have chosen different words.

NetSurf (at least 1.1 & a semi-recent SVN) was rather slow at rendering for me (it seemed to render, wipe the screen, and render again, then wait a bit, then finally finish).

I am using netsurf, it isn't as fast as Dillo, but it's rendering is ok (some errors, but  ). I'd recommend to give it a try, it's the best way to find out whether a software is ok for someone or not.
