Thanks to the developers and keepers of antiX for a great distro. Thanks to everyone for all the good information and opinions for me to digest. I hope others here will give Slimjet a try on their 32-bit machines and post back to confirm or deny my impression of it. Yet Slimjet has a small footprint, uses little RAM, and is lighter on the CPU when compared to all the other 32-bit browsers I’ve tried, including my previous favorite, Pale Moon. Slimjet loads pages quickly, scrolls smoothly, and seems to have all the functionality of it’s parent Chromium browser. The only plug-ins I installed are the default offering of Ad blocker and the addition of the Youtube downloader. The latest 32-bit version performs remarkably well on my old systems. In the process I’ve gathered a little more “user data” and I’ve had a bit of fun. I must report that I also found myself motivated to try out some different browsers, including ones I’d never previously heard of. I’ve already posted comments and provided limited browser “user data” in this thread. That’s why I’ve been following it for a while. That’s why I find this discussion so interesting. Therefore, it follows, everyone has a vested interest in a distro’s choice of browser, default and optional. However, I would bet that everyone is using a browser on a regular basis. Some people are more concerned with programming applications, some not so. Some people are more concerned with multimedia applications, some not so.

Some people are more concerned with office applications, some not so.

This reply was modified 4 years, 6 months ago by BobC.ĭiscussions and decisions regarding what software to provide as default and as optional in a distro must be common in both developer and user communities.

Sorry for any confusion it might have caused… I guess my mrxvt terminal linux tutorial search must have landed me on that one, because maybe there aren’t any mrxvt tutorials out there. PS: I watched that video, but am not allowed to edit that post, and I would hope a moderator could edit the post to put in some youtube video more appropriate, like one of Dolphin’s AntiX 17 tutorials in its place, so that people looking at it don’t get the impression that’s what AntiX 17 people use. Anyway, mrxvt is great for running old style apps and running Midnight Commander and ncdu which are my crutches to avoid wasting my time navigating black screens, just like I loved Norton Commander back in the DOS days on PC’s. Today, I use the terminal to run the non-gui apps in cases where the gui doesn’t really improve anything because they are super light and efficient to use compared to the monstrous gui programs, and many times I can just use a script to do whatever needs done rather than keying it. Back in the old days I was working on oddball business system that were all command line or creating/running applications that ran on them, and the terminals were all there was to work with.

Its super light, and pretty configurable, only lacking in UTF-8 support, whatever that is, and cant do the line draw characters for mc correctly without a LANG variable being set. I expected a link to come up in my post, not the video. One of these days I may work on my Dillo based idea, where I would use a fully functional browser like Palemoon for the sites where I really need to, like my yahoo mail for example, and then have it default to opening all sites not specifically designated for the big browser in something like Dillo that needs very little in the way of resources to get the job done.Īt the time I was just looking for a video to help me configure mrxvt-mini, and so that youtube video happened to be one of the tabs I used to test memory usage with.

Hence my need to have an efficient browser that handles lots of tabs of various types, and bookmarks and history well, using a minimum amount of resources to do it, because although I do have a blazingly fast machine, I also support many friends/family with older machines of varying vintages and capabilities, and like to have standard tools on all.

It isn’t unusual for me to have 50 to 100 browser tabs open at a time when I’m solving problems and writing code, because I just open another window and tabs to look into another problem, and code wise, on Linux, I don’t know what’s possible or difficult, or what options I have, what already exists, or what syntax will work or won’t.

“Your mileage may vary”, as they say, because you likely have different hardware and drivers, and sites you frequent, and I only tested on two of my machines, both 64 bit with nVidia graphics cards. My web browser testing was just to try to get a few screens that any of the browsers should be able to handle, and simulate some of the tabs that are always open on my screen.
