Galeon browser download deb

Another nice feature would be a "wipe out" option, where if I find a banner too annoying I could just click on it and get rid of it. It would sure be nice if I could highlight sections, and change the font on the fly. Have you ever been to a home page and waited for TB of useless "pretties" to download before you can even so much as click on a link.

It would sure be nice if there was a skip-crap button that would just fill in the pretties with asthetically pleasing "blanks" and grab all the juicy content first. I don't know who else has netscape, but I don't need a special button on my browser telling me where to shop, or any of the other netscape propaganda - thankyou 6 give me a password and login reminder list. After having billion logins and passwords for every immaginable website, it would really be nice to have some simple encrypted??

Have you ever been to a site where you have 50 pages of refferal links and other crap before you get to the one paragraph or so of content that you were really after. It would sure be nice if I could highlight that and click on something that wipes the other crap off the page if I find i need it later i'll bush the back button. I mean, cmon guys.

I got TunnelCarpal, if I get field form I don't want to half to click in each field, or continually half to move the focus from the scroll bar to the main page and back. Have you ever had 20 or so windows open on the same page, and sorta wished they were all consolidated into one screen. On the same note, i just absolutely hate it when I visit a site and it shoves half a dozen useless piece of shit popups down my throat, please do something about that too. Thankyou, since I know noone's gonna listen anyhow, please feel free to moderate this down to negative infinity.

Share twitter facebook. What are they trying to target? Are they making a back-end renderer Gecko a web browser for PCs, or a standardized interface for web pads? As for you opinion of the speed, that is very subjective. Of course, that's after using BeOS for years.

Finally Score: 1. Now if they'd only come out with a version for Windows I'd be thrilled. It's such a pain having to install a whole application suite just so I can test for compatibility when building sites. Funny you should mention that.

Try a build from the last few days. The "Location:" tooltips on all anchors were not my idea and hopefully they'll be removed soon. I was kinda hoping the Mozilla team would do something like this themselves, actually, or at least make a customizable install where you can choose to install only the browser - and, damnit, make it so you can install other pieces of it after the browser has already been installed!

I agree that you shouldn't have to "unfix" anything. I'll see if I can bring this to the attention of the rest of the Mozilla community rather than just a couple of the engineers that want to cover the whole thing up :. If you think there's anything missing from there, input would be appreciated. NTK does a good job of consistently reporting the best food products available in the UK as well Re: They ARE fixing the bugs!

That's what Bugzilla [mozilla. The problem with making any large program are the number of interactions that take place. Time spent adding these features is time that can't be spent hunting for bugs unless OTHER people are helping to find and document those bugs. Remember, you don't have to be a programmer to help contribute! There is an effort porting DirectX to Linux. It's called WINE. As of now.. Score: 2. You need Mozilla M16 to install Galeon, this requirement probably goes away later in the development.

It's faster than running Mozilla M16 itself though, and has a bit less memory footprint. It is about as stable as Mozilla, which about equals NS 4. Galeon is an interesting project, but perhaps it is a bit too late.

Nautilus is almost as mature, and promises a lot more. Of course, Galeon would be great for those that doesn't like to run Gnome. One more thing, Galeon has a very annoying bug, in that shows the windows behind it through the main window when you first start it up. This goes away when you visit the first webpage for the session though. Re:You can already do 2, 3, 4 and 5. Myself, I just want a plain web browser. I already have a mail and news reader with mutt and slrn.

It's nice to see someone use Mozilla to make just a browser. Have you file a bug on this? If not could you? If not, would you mind explaining what is the problem and maybe I can file a bug for you? Agreed :. Mozilla takes a while to load on my system, uses a lot of memory, and crashes too easily Score: 5. What does it need now? More buttons! Mozilla isn't that bloated Score: 1. I bet Netscape will release a browser-only version just like they did with the 4.

That should please everybody enough, I'd think. Although it would be nice to also have a custom install routine where you could only install, say, the browser and the mail client, and leave the rest of the functions uninstalled. Re:Why not to this inside the mozilla project? As I understand it this project is an implementation of the above gtk interface - something that doesn't exist within the mozilla codebase.

The used to be something similar built into mozilla a while back called gnomefe i. Also it got broke after all the embedding technolgies changed. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I checked your site in iCab [www. The page does seem to render fine in iCab, though. NOT a flamebait; let me explain my points. Just nice, OK? No big deal and stuff. That would make sense, I guess. Well, and I'd love to see Nautilus off course. But there hasn't been any release except for CVS yet, and the website is also not really informative like in "good old Amiga gossip" So I don't know how long that will take.

Re:Great Another Browser I think you're missing the point. Its NOT another browser. Its simply an application that wraps the web browsing widget of mozilla so you don't have to run all the crap that comes with mozilla composer, mail, news.. It is also a helluva lot prettier than mozilla which is butt ugly. Well, Galeon may be a good browser, but to use it, you need to install Mozilla first.

So you end up downloading two browsers to use one?? That's ridicolous. When I saw the last galeon-announcement on freshmeat, I wanted to try it out and downloaded and installed Mozilla and Galeon. Features I want in a web browser Score: 3.

In order from what I want most to what I would just prefer. Have you ever used it? Right click on an image, select "Block image from loading". Be careful though, it blocks all images from that image's domain. I use this feature a lot and it's great! The intelligent wrapping you desire would break many sites. If you don't mind that, you could create a user style sheet for Mozilla setting the max-width of BODY to some desired width e. Not an ideal solution I suppose, but an easy hack.

Re:The majority of the work IS on the browser? Any truly standards-compliant browser lets you code old arcade games into webpages, because the W3C standards let you do exactly that. If you want a small, simple, fast browser, you'll have to give up on complete standards support especially the DOM.

That's your choice, and there are browsers like Konqueror and Opera that fill this need. Mozilla, on the other hand, aims for complete standards support, while still being fast if not simple and small. It tackles a different, and harder, problem. Re:I applaud this Score: 1. Could you give some specific examples? One difference might be that I carefully pick the builds I use.

Some of the nightly builds are unstable or have serious layout problems; this is inevitable because people sometimes check in buggy code. There is an enormous difference between a "good" nightly build and a "bad" one. It also only has 2 votes. One of them is from me. It seems that it "isn't critical for Netscape 6".

Thanks for bringing it up. Self didn't scale. Their lovely optimization technology was great at optimizing programs consisting of a few pages of code. Point it at something even a fraction of the size of a Web browser, and it would sink into the dust. That's why the minds behind Self went on to other things, such as Chambers' Vortex compiler. Re:Computer totally locked when using Galeon :- Score: 1. Not that I know of. I did the backup thing and format. Adam Lock is doing exactly this.

His code is in the Mozilla tree. People should take some time to actually look at the project before they comment. That way, you could write virtually the entire browser in Javascript. Score: 3. You really aren't that stupid, right? The old "yet another browser" shit is old, especially when you try to trumpet non-standards compliant crap like IE as the solution. The Mozilla guys may think they're doing something cool by making all widgets look the same, but they're not.

They are hurting the user experiance for each person's native platform. Like I said a few posts back, its a question of wether your app deserves a custom user interface. If you're doing a massive rendering package like Truespace, then yeah, the efficiancy of a custom UI will outweigh the learning curve. And Mozilla doesn't even have a more efficient interface, just a different one.

The problem is that the Mozilla guys are engineering for themselves as opposed to their users. Nobody gives a damn if hitting the back button executes a java script. Nobody cares that the whole thing is XUL extendible. People don't use a web browser for the hell of it, they use it to browse web sites.

Give me a large window, small button toolbar, and some decent bookmarking systems, and then get the hell out of my way! He has placed his software galeon under the GPL, which would prevent him from including anything non-GPL with his code. Mozilla is under it's own License, the MPL.

While quite free, it is not the GPL. Galeon is saying that you need mozilla and the mozilla headers installed on your system, at which point he is free to use them for use, the MPL and GPL are compatible. But I'd already worked out the perfect name! As Fearless Leader Taco points out, this idea has been kicking around for a while, and I'd come up with a name and even a slogan: NoZilla--no newsreader, no email, no bloat, no bull.

Of course, if I wanted someone to actually use it someday, I probably should have mentioned it outloud, instead of just thinking it to myself. I'm talking about major rendering failures on common web sites.

Re:Features I want in a web browser Score: 2. I shouldn't have to scroll back and forth for every line. It makes the page unreadable.

I should only have to scroll to see the image that's too big, not for everything else on the page just because of that one stupid image In fact, the image could scroll independently without scrolling the rest of the text at all i.

Re:Computer totally locked when using Galeon :- Score: 2. I was running Galeon 0. Guess I'll go back to 0. All things that have perfectly viable and in most cases, free alternatives already.

But we can be reasonbly sure that no less work will be put into the browser, either. And how is this best of Mozilla? Wasn't that part of the point? Maybe to the Mozilla developers, but not to me. Their idea of "cross-platform" is turning out to be "we want the browser to stick out like a sore thumb no matter what OS you're using. I don't care if it has an email client; I have one of those already. I don't care if it does newsgroups or IRC; I don't read those. And if I did, there's those aforementioned other free alternatives.

Someone else said it best; the Mozilla developers are out of control. They've forgotten about the people who want to have a simple, fast, standards-complaint browsing alternative to MSIE and are interested in somehow conquering the world by being able to code old arcades games into their webpages [slashdot.

Re:Computer totally locked when using Galeon :- Score: 3. The widget set is the foundation for the UI. Thus the widgets are intimately tied with the XUL layout engine.

Also, the problem is that people DO care about the platform. Most people spend nearly all their time in one platform. Thus it is more important to make all apps on that platform similar than it is to make that one app similar on all platforms. What happens more often? Thus it is out of place and presents a learning curve to those using it. There is a serious case for making all apps look the same. Once a person learns one UI mindset no matter how confusing the UI, it will happen then it is very easy to learn a new application with uses that mindset.

By breaking the mindset, Mozilla is hurting its users. I was responding to the person above who said it barely runs on a MHz Athlon. Also, running great is totally subjective.

However, after using BeOS, I tend to think that anything that doesn't offer instant response runs lousy. Even some BeOS apps early version of TaskManager for example don't get my apporval because they tend to slow the resizing process. In the end, what matters is that does the load make sense for the type of app. Web browsers are relativly simple creatures. I can understand my 3D render using up MB of RAM, but my web browser or windowing system doing the same is just ridiculous.

No, I'm not saying Mozilla uses MB, it uses more than it should. Why put up with bloatware anyway? Why run something "acceptably. Plus, if Mozilla has any hope in the embeeded market, it has to run great on a Pentium classic class CPU. Mozilla definately does not.

OSS trend maybe? The only major project that isn't overly bloated seems to be the kernel itself. Even X doesn't suffer from feature-craze, it is bloated for other reasons. I continually beat my head against a wall thinking about how my RAM is disappearing down the toilet. FOr example, Mozilla has a great rendering engine Gecko with a cruddy piece of bloatware wrapped around it everything else in Mozilla. Who cares about total customizability through XUL, who cares that everything is tied to a java script.

Aren't scripts slow anyway? People bash MS for making active desktop, but this is even worse. Do you really want your programs interpreting XML to do your user interface? Are they crazy? MS is famous for introducing bloatware. However, they have to keep selling more versions. OSS stuff doesn't have to do that. Why don't they? I applaud this Score: 4. Quite frankly, I think the Mozilla programmers are out of control. Oh, completely! But that was 4. Whether or not that is a good thing is debatable, but that's how it is.

If you want to page through the old articles in mozillazine [mozillazine. In contrast, check out this [slashdot. Given that 5. I wish I could use CSS [w3. But as you can see, browsers are so horribly lacking in support for this a standard from ! Re:As of now.. It's a fork but not a fork uses the same code base and solves problems people have big web browsers, ugly Netcenter skin on Mozilla :. And if this were a commercial product, it just wouldn't happen. Re:This is great!

It will exceed [the feature set of IE Mac] in some areas, e. When I say "feature set" I mean the feature set of the browser, not the rendering engine. Mac IE has stuff like the scrapbook, print preview -- a lot of stuff that is really useful that probably won't find its way into Mozilla anytime soon.

I hope.. The gecko module may let you have a nice browser, but if it can't handle nice, standards compliant HTML, then it needs to be fixed. I have a build against M17 tip but, yeah, the point is true that you have to install mozilla to use it. Still at early stage Yes, I'll me-too this and also say what a wonderful project this is. It's not ready for prime-time, which will be readily apparent if you hit this [gnome. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this project gets stable before Mozilla does, and it sure as heck is more light-weight.

Well, you can already build the browser-only version with --disable-mailnews, and the 'installer' builds come in seperate packages so that you can install browser, composer, mailnews, etc quite independently once you've installed the gecko core of course. This is great! It's really good to hear about this project. This is exactly what Mozilla needs -- some focus. I really want to like Mozilla, but for me to seriously consider it as a Mac desktop user, somebody needs to fix it in such a way that it is a reasonable competitor to IE5.

Mozilla takes around seconds. I might even consider paying for it, if it was good enough -- though I may be in the minority there. I feel it IS necessary to create a sperate interface to Mozilla's web page rendered.

What slows Mozilla down so much? Surely not the gecko rendering engine. It's pretty darned fast at least no slower than Netscape. So what is it? Maybe the interface? Sure, a completely definable interface is nice, but, quite frankly, this'll be the first 2D application that might spur hardware development in a LONG time. All that configurability simply, and completely, bogs down my computer, and my computer isn't all that slow. So, will I use Mozilla? Will it be my main browser? Only then.

As it is, the interface is just too damned slow. Nightly mozilla builds work just fine Score: 4. Contrary to some other posts here and some ambiguous text on galeon's website, you do not need to use M16 for galeon to work.

The nightly builds work just fine. All I had to do to install was install the mozilla-devel rpms and the galeon rpm. There are only two big caveats: it doesn't store cookies meaning no slashdot login and it doesn't have any right-click menus for page elements yet , meaning no saving images or 'copy link location,' etc. These things will probably be added later on. GtkHTML is not meant to be a full fledged web browser though. I've heard talk about making a Mozilla bonobo component, and this has already been done although it's in extremely early development.

So why not do a dedicated GNOME web browser out of the already existing, open source and quite excellent gecko code? Biden to send military medical teams to help hospitals. N95, KN95, KF94 masks.
