Just trying to get a feel for everyone's experience with browsing on pdaXrom.
Thanks for your input.

If you can post about what kind of web pages work and don't work on each browser that would be helpful too.

I think maybe a new minimo would be helpful, though.  I can't configure the one in the feeds. By now there must be an updated source... tweaking minimo might be a really good idea

I primary use Dillo for almost everything but use Firefox when Dillo can't download something and for viewing my gmail.
Downloading files from this forum typically doesn't work for me in Dillo.
I would be interested in a more stable Minimo.

I really like Dillo, theres a newer version that has a big list of fixes/improvements that would be good if someone could compile.

downloading files that don't have a filename in the url is easy, just switch back to the browser window and select the filename with the mouse to copy it and then delete the fake filename and use shift+left click to paste it in. This is the same with all browsers except firefox that work in pdaxrom.

I also use links from the console to check stuff quic, like feeds.

I like to have one lighweight browser - Dillo - and Firefox in reserve for dealing with "modern" pages.  If only Dillo did HTTP Auth if would be a lot more useful to me!  Maybe the newer versions do it?  And the Bookmarks handling in Dillo is just painful...

Bookmarking is fine for me,. CTRL+T open a new tab, CTRL+B to bring up the bookmarks and click the one... admittedly not like a drop down menu but easy to get used to....

I agree but I see johnsutton's point as well.
If you get bookmark happy and then want to clean up or edit you have to drop to a console and find the file and then edit the file(correct me if I'm wrong). In some ways that's good because it forces me to not get bookmark happy.

It would be nice if we could make training material for some of the apps we use. And before someone quotes me (You see it! You own it!)... Ya, ya, I'll try and put something together.
Is there a slide show plugin installed for the OESF Wiki?

Well you can click the modify link in the top right of the bookmark page. It just takes some getting used to I guess, when your used to the desktop delights of firefox, it certainly is a step back with dillo, but it's very good for what it is.

ps. A tip- if you are logged into the forum and you drop a bookmark, you will be logged in when you return via the bookmark. It doesn't automatically remember if you return to the page another way.

I use:

 - Mozilla and Firefox for most sites
 - Dillo for ebooks and reference stuff
 - Lynx for debugging and troubleshooting (the capture headers function is useful)

Dillo from standard feed does handle http auth.

It handles SSL (https) and "basic auth over SSL" as well.

Yes, but what about creating the bookmark in the first place?  I can't find any simple way to do that - and surely it needs to be as simple as 1 (or 2 at most!)  key presses.
