Hi,
I appreciate your thoughtful responses. I discovered QupZilla when
playing around with a min install of Ubuntu 12.04 and discovering how
often I could crash it in the process of building it up. :) I really
like QupZilla and think it would be a natural for Lubuntu when moving to
LXDE-QT.
As I said, you always have thoughtful responses to queries on the
lists and I was hoping to ask you what I hope is an easy to answer
question( I don't intend to intrude). If I were interested in learning
how to be a developer is there a starting point or a place to begin?
This may be a simpleton's question but I am not above admitting
ignorance.....
Best
David

I think DuckDuckGo is especially nice with the whole ! (bang)
searching. I use that an incredible amount. You can search the
ubuntuforums with !askubuntu <String> or askubuntu with !askubuntu
<String>
There are tons of sites

And there are tons of other goodies too...

I think it is a superior search experience, though sometimes I use
ixquick if I can't find what I am looking for. It is nice having 2
to get different results, though in the past year ddg has gotten a
lot better results.

I have been using QupZilla daily on both of my Lubuntu netbooks
instead of FF. For daily use, it works great, it is sooo much
faster and with a great deal of functionality. My only observation
is the limited number of plug ins at this time. Otherwise, I
really like it and hope it continues to mature
@Israel - Thanks for all the input on Qupzilla. I really like it
and with further maturation will prove to be a very good
lightweight browser. You may wish to reconsider Duckduckgo and use
startpage or Ixquick ( both related to each other) if privacy is a
concern or desire. If you have the time you may wish to read this
about Duckduckgo:

Yeah. I can even watch Amazon on it (with libhal, of course).
I have
click to play enabled. Of course you must install flash
separately, it
isn't like Chrome (as far as I know). Though it is WebKit, so
it might
be able to support Pepper, and use those plugins... though
Chromium
doesn't... so anyhow.... You can do all the normal stuff on
it. (Or at
least all the normal stuff I have tried). It saves passwords,
and has
excellent privacy management features. And as a plus it includes
Duckduckgo as a search engine!!
I haven't tried to open flash games, or anything like that,
though.
