Re: [Trisquel-users] Which browser should one use if one is after stability and support for existing features?

[hd-scania]

It is already old-school to still be mentioning Midori, and LXQt has been in  
the cutting edge for the Gtk+, Xfce, KDE refugees since 2014, so LXQt related  
QupZilla has been also in the WebKit cutting edge.
WebKit based: Midori hasn't seen a new release since 2015 and was recently  
removed by Hyperbola. When I last tested it it suffered from stability issues  
(it sometimes unexpectedly crashed). Epiphany/Web has changed dramatically  
over the years: the old extensions no longer work after the browser switched  
to a newer WebKit engine, JavaScript can no longer be disabled in the  
settings or through dconf-editor (since the developers thought this was a  
pointless feature to offer) and add-ons are now integrated in the browser (at  
the moment mostly adblock). On the bright side, ALSA is still supported, the  
browser can be used to access LibreCMC router's web interface which does not  
support SSL, and since it is part of GNOME it is actively developed. The  
browser might still support NPAPI plugins (they appear under about:plugins),  
although I couldn't test my configuration, as I use ViewTube which requires  
Greasemonkey which is currently missing (the developers might integrate it  
into a future release). NPAPI plugin support might depend on whether Apple  
supports it in the future in their WebKit based desktop browser (they  
currently do).
