In reality, there are only 5 primary engine lines currently being used for Windows browsers: all the variants within the KHTML/Webkit/Chromium/Blink lineage, Gecko, Trident, Presto, and EdgeHTML.
Firefox are going to abandon Gecko, aren't they?
So - what are we're gonna be left with then?
- Chromium.
- Chromium.
- Chromium.
- Chromium.
- Windows' Edge.
:rip:

Firefox is not abandoning Gecko, and definitely aren't adopting chromium. They have an experimental new engine called Servo, but it's mainly for research purposes and they plan to integrate parts of it into gecko over time.

johnbull44 last edited byI used Google Chrome for years, then because Chrome dumped Win XP in April 2016 I changed to Opera.
I have found Opera a brilliant browser and IMO is far better than Chrome.
A tiny irritation is that Pricespy keeps coming back on my Speed Dial with every update. I have read the previous threads and did not see any means of stopping this.
Is there any way that the Pricespy Speed dial can be blocked ?

Is there any way that the Pricespy Speed dial can be blocked ?The short answer is "no". The best background perspective thus far lies in this thread, which you may already have read:

Thanks Blacbird. No big deal, rather than keep deleting Pricespy I`ll just leave it there unloved.

Anybody knows anything about 'Yandex browser'?
Well, for now is the only browser with a powerful search engine where you can search "how to kill obama" or "kill the monkey" and you won't be in jail after that. That will not be possible after 5-10 years so where is the fun?
Edit: "The whole wide world's got a monkey on its back" - from Kill the Monkey song.

Midori on Linux has been around a while, it is a webkit-based browser with a UI built on QT. As QT is cross-platform I suppose they must be able to migrate the whole browser to Windows... but I never really used the Linux version. I can't claim it will be any different from Chromium or Opera or Vivaldi.

Thank you.
SlimJet has been praised here on the forums, as I remember.
Same site says it's alightweight browser. Do you think it means it's easy on CPU and/or memory? -

Midori is fast! :eek:
Had some layout deficiencies having maximised the window (on this site - first one). (Initially the app opens in a rather narrow window.)

Imported bookmarks from Opera's
.adr.
It's a mess - no folders, no nothing. Search's working though - dropdown full lot of "opportunities" typing in the address bar...

Ah! I found the folders.
A bit - teeny-weeny bit - messy still, because the order's different, and till I visit them, no favicons, and the interface might be either - ehem, different, or to get used to it.
Still, no trouble with movie except that - well, might be that site's overloaded with stuff, there exist so unmanageable sites - :XP: . -

Hi again!
Checked somewhere "there's a new version" - official site, but the question is, file name ends with.tar.bz2- what the heck is it?
:rolleyes: -

Like - universal?
Dug a bit more there, Steve, and this strange thing: they have two streams/branches (with different digits after the first naught but adjacent), the version I have seems to fall into the one making an impression of being a developer stream or something, but the strange thing is that there is this history, and in this succession my 0.5.8 goes first or about - then goes 0.5.4, etc., .5.7 then .5.9, then whatever.

Well, as far as I can tell, it doesn't resemble Google Chrome much. But it does remind me of some good old Opera though:) I installed it with all the suggested bundled plugins and extensions though... I mean it does have features resembling our good old Opera, yeah:) Kind of not fully developed in places. But I suppose it could get further developed: I registered on and took a look at their support site.

What on earth is this thing, Steve?
front.facetz.net wants to save an HTML5 database.
It's an "Allow/deny" bar on a certain site. Second here so far: first time the page wasn't interesting, and I closed the tab; now I wanna read - what should I do?
Ah! nah, I don't. :devil: -

Modern browsers allow web apps to store data on your computer, sometimes so you can have it while offline later but also sometimes just because they want to store more data than would fit into cookies. Obviously the default setting in most browsers is not to ask, unless you've set the browser to ask about cookies. I can't tell you about that site specifically though.
