Off all the smartness-free browsers, that handle modern websites well, there are only two I can recommend. The already mentioned Qupzilla/Falkon and the Otter-browser. Both are Webkit and QT based. Otter-browser is an attempt to create something similar to the older Opera browser, but without the mail thing. It let's you open SSL webpages with outdated certificates and plain HTTP as well. I have used both browsers for a a long time, and they are very good. Otter-browser seems to be made for you, since "Controlled by the user, not vice versa" is what the project says about it 😉 Kind Regards Matthias > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " > freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Med vennlig hilsen Matthias Oestreicher
