Browser?
« on: January 24, 2011, 01:03:20 pm »
I seem to remember a browser used by some 'linux' uses that was very similar to Google's Chrome.

Does anyone have information on this particular software?

Also...is "Netscape" still being used and updated?

Netscape is back on track. Wasn't to be continued, is now all new.

Chrome is a very good browser, I like it a lot. Works fine, is fast. There are also some similar browsers out there - they are all build on the kernel-project Chromium. There will also be an OS later this year - stay tuned, will be really cool!

Safari by Apple is also out there. Works also fine, is build on the Mozilla-Engine as Firefox is.

The browser you are probably searching for is Opera. Not so common to be used on PC, but they have a really nice smartphone browser.

For Linux there is also Konqueror, which comes with the KDE-Desktop at Linux. It only works on Linux.
Or are you searching for Lynx - a text based Browser, used in quit some applications for disabled persons.

that was Star Office - now openoffice.org. It's a fine office system, imho even better than MS Office - and it is free.

I set up all my patterns in Open Office (OO) before I print them. OO has a sweet part "Draw" in it, where you can easily create simple patterns, lay them out and get a nice print out or PDF.

Sorry folks..I should have reported this sooner!

The Browser that is virtually identical to Chrome (same engine) and incorporates all the Chrome features is by SR Ware (hence my thinking of Star) and is called "Iron".

I have downloaded and begun using it to resolve a problem with Chrome and Yahoo "Not playing well together"!

So far, about two weeks, it seems to be working just fine and my PERCEPTION is that it is running faster than the rather 'bloated' Chrome Browser....

Everything looks and works the same as Chrome but "IRON" is an Open Source piece of FREEWARE and is being developed and refined as it is used.

I am using it exclusively right now.

Tux...I have an ongoing 'battle' with Yayhoo and some of its apps.
Yahoo mail and Chrome don't seem to like each other! Gee, I wonder why?!?!?!?

In any other browser when I open my Yayhoo mail I am taken directly to the 'Inbox' and a full list of the messages that are in it.
When I do the same thing in Chrome the only thing that shows in my 'Inbox' is the last two emails received!
I have tried every trick I know and the only way to get it to show the whole list is to 'Refresh' the window and the list becomes complete.

I have just about gotten everyone switched over to other email accounts and I am about to just let Yayhoo Mail just sit there and stagnate until they shut it down due to inactivity, I think it is 90 days. Then I will close it for good.

Any thoughts on the perplexing behaviour?

yep - you need to make it reload the content automatically.

Some browsers have this behavior implemented. That's for example one issue on IE being so slow, it compares the content and shows preloaded data if same or new data when something changed.
Chrome just uses the cache and loads the page fastest.

Anyway - there is a plugin for chrome to archive the same: Chrome Refresh
It is able to reload certain pages periodical.

Does IRON refresh pages automatically?
