[Solved] web-browser in #!

Hi,

I ust wanted to ask you what browser you are using and why.
I'm in search for a new browser, 'cause chrome sucks on #!,
and on chromium, i can't install extensions because google doesn't accept my chromium as a chrome.

and i've also been a hater of the ugly firefox(or in this case iceweasel).

what do you suggest for me?

firefox. not iceweasel, simply firefox downloaded from the web, no repositories or stuff. it updates itself just fine.

i've found chrome quicker on my 1.3 ghz machine... ice weasel is getting the thumbs down right now. memory hog... personally speaking.
if you want speed over extensions then find dillo3 loads quicker than thunar and browses like lightening use memory - however, css isn't -that great- and no ssl etc.
if you want extensions i guess firefox is a good bet.

Re: [Solved] web-browser in #!

We just went through this last month here.

For other threads, type "what browser" in the search box at the top of the screen.

You will get all kinds of answers. What browser to use is a very personal choice. What one person likes may not be good for you. I like luakit. You'd probably hate it.

Most likely because the version of Chromium is old. Download Google Chrome from Google, right click on the downloaded .deb and choose "open with Gdebi".
