(posted with Puppybrowser 0.5 on Puppy 4.21)

Browsed around with Puppybrowser 0.5 on Ppup476 tonight; it hung twice after playing some Youtube videos, say 5 or 6, but restarted normally after killing it.
Seem to remember this did happen with some older SeaMonkey version, can't say which; or maybe it still happens now? I rarely watch several Youtube vids, must try out.

Also: the default setting for password saving is "Yes", but IMHO "No" would be safer.

It's already my favorite browser anyway. Cool

A libgee pet is attached to the message, where you can download the browser.

I just run puppy browser the default install in 430-small and It has some bugs, 2 actually. First of all I used it in order to write an e-mail at hotmail.

The e-mail I wrote was in Greek and I had problems whenever I wanted to type an accent character. To explain it exactly in order to accent a letter in Greek I have to use the button next to "L" which in english gives the semistop ";" or ":". Whenever I was pressing it the cursor was just disappearing and had to tick with the mouse in the text box every time.

Second bug I found was that Greek letter "Σ" was looking as "Z". Both of them are in the alphabet but they are different. The strange is that the small "Σ" was looking as it suppose to be "σ". Also when pasting the text to geany "Σ" was looking perfect. So the encoding was correct but the look was wrong Confused

If you want any more details or anything to test tell me.

Mark, do you think it might be possible to get Simple Mail to work? That would then be moving toward a very lightweight browser/mail app.

I just discovered this browser in 4.3 final and watched quite a few youtube videos without any problem, unlike SeaMonkey, which closes sometimes apparently because Flash gets overloaded.

Is there any way to import bookmarks from SeaMonkey?

Mark,

Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks -> Tools -> Export bookmarks creates an html file. Rather than trying to use the bookmarks in /root/.mozilla/ and so forth, it seems to me that it would be simpler to use that file. Also, I believe other browsers create the same sort of file to use for backing up and importing/exporting their bookmarks, so it would be a more general solution.
