Subject: [gentoo-user] browsers & gtk1.4 themes
My top browser will have these features :
0. works under gnome :")
1. Session save/restore, autosave on crash
2. AdBlock-er - powered by regexes,
with ability to not only block but stop the dload of blocked objects
block Flash-es too..
3. One-click on/off features for - proxy, java, pop-up, javascript
4. As small as possible footprint (only browsing)
5. Supporting fast switching between TABS even if there is 30-40 open
(oops forgot to metions, browser w/o Tabs is not a browser,
internet-exploder not in my list:"))
6. Support for pages (tabs of tabs, metatabs) !!! -
these would be VERTICAL-TABS on the left/right,
so that instead of opening 3 browsers I open 3 vertical-TABS :")
Less important
---
7. Edit bookmarks in place instead of opening a new-app/window where I have
to search X minuties what I need to edit/hierarcy-move
8. Easy zoom as per Galeon
9. Detailed info about the page fetching process with progress bars and kB/s
(opera seems good in this)
10. Font config as per Galeon not as Opera
11. Save Page/Whole page (as per IE)
12. kiosk ability, so that we can make web-app
13. Detect process hogs such as flash-movies and if they begin
to consume high-cpu lower their priority even if the flash looks bad.
If I have 30-40 tabs i dont want to slow my comp 'cause someone decided
to make heavy flash..
14. Look at what plugins ppl are doing and include them or ease their inclusions..:")
15. As per old Galeon -> Handler so that we can redirect dloads/mail etc.. to other
programs.
If it have it's own dload manager it has to support 2 very important things :
- continuing stopped dloads
- setting dload speed
otherwise it is useless...
what u think ?

I think you should seriously consider Opera and its features. It's damn fast and
feature-rich. I use it religiously. Pretty small footprint--size 6, I think. Easy
bookmark editing. Tabs are a snap--though I am not sure about this concept of
'metatabs.' The Hotlist is beautiful. In addition, nearly everything is configurable
in Opera. You can place anything you wanna see anywhere you want to--provided that is
top, bottom, left, or right. But it's great.
Neuros.
