When I used your Opera 9.5 link I just ran "install.sh" from term. Any reason you don't do that? Worked fine for me.

ttuuxxx has a 9.64 compile available as a .pet, that works ok. I understand if people want more than the pet offers. :wink:

ttuuxxx.

Maybe a bug with your Opera9.64 pet, passwords for forums etc seem not to be saving for me. Any idea?

Cheers

Naa its the full static package from Opera itself, nothing removed. Opera doesn't give you as much control over it as does Firefox, but if you really wanted to fix it, I"M !00% sure you'll find your answer in the /root/.Opera hidden folder. It would be one of those config scripts.

It works fine, but if you *don't* use the shellscript,you have a portable (sandboxed) Opera confined to one directory. That means easy updates / upgrades / backup:

When you're upgrading ,just delete everything but the 'profile' directory and extract the fresh build to the Opera folder :)

Backup: You can copy the whole Opera directory to a USB flash drive and use it from there (a basic script will do the trick) :)

Would you also test ecofox in your report

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=40497

It was developed on P700/192mb's, it wont fare well in terms of speed against the other browsers (even though its been speed optimized in its config)m but users will save time not having to configure themselves ;-)

I've been impressed with the recent versions of Seamonkey, especially since they've incorporated spell checking into the browser. I still use Sylpheed or Claws for E-mail though.

:lol: Sage

No numbers, because I've been flat out doing other stuff as well as testing. Even real life stuff! :lol:

Opera10 alpha is very fast in quite a few puplets, including NYP, spup, slaxer-pup and standard 4.21.

However in NYP a new browser enters the equation. FF3.07 which Mark has humming very fast.

I may in the next week or so take a look at ecofox... is that based on FF2.x?

Yep, 2.0.0.20 (the latest update of the 2 series as well as the last one planned) if I remember rightly.

No tests of "Epiphany"? I run it in other distros,..(with Java and Flash working well)...seems pretty fast and simple. Any pet packages or dot.pups of it?

Yes currently, although the .pet will update automatically to the latest 3 series, which one tester I had said produces faster results and he preferred...I havnt had chance yet to fully test if that breaks anything though....Its had a lot of features and tweaks added.

thank you 01Micko for providing this comparison, I look forward to reading your report.

I don't really trust 3, it seems to crash a lot. I'd be happier sticking with 2.0.0.20 as long as possible or even (since I'm posting from it now) Seamonkey 1.1.15.

:D Hello all,
Looks like I need to update "12 Browser Dingo"..LOL

D/L the latest Seamonkey 2 series...Very nimble...Still rejects the best add-ons.. :x Turns pages on the Forum pretty quick...
Flash works fullscreen, ect...

Been using Opera 10 for about a month now...
This Seamonkey is close, but Opera 10 seems faster, to me...
Besides, Opera has a "Puppy Linux" Theme... :D :D :D (40k + D/L`s)
Flash can be a big buggy though...

Epiphany needs Gnome...HV3 works in Puppy, as does Aurora...
Flock is too slow...Firefox 3 crashes constantly... :evil:

For me, the best "light" browser is Netsurf...
But if "speed is the need" then Opera 10 is one...

Don't forget Swiftfox, a version of Firefox optimised for speed (and which works well in Puppy straight from the tarball).

Dillo 2 is good too; it has tabs, unlike Dillo 1 and (I believe) Netsurf.

No, or Skipstone (which runs on top of Seamonkey).
