I just disable Javascript and Java altogether. Perhaps until something can be done this should be the default. > > Webkit > > Looks like the least evil choice to go for TDE.

I think Webkit is very underrated, it's used by Midori, Badwolf, Qutebrowser, etc. so it seems to be popular for privacy and freedom oriented browsers. Using things like Midori in the past, it can display modern web pages just fine. > > its fork Blink I don't trust Blink at all just due to the "creep" from it dominating the web browser market with Google in charge.

With current manpower I don't see Konqueror getting a browser revival any time soon, but it's still nice to think about. I only mention it so much because on the first installation of TDE your web browser *is* Konqueror in its current state, with a launcher in the panel and on the desktop. Not a great start. Off-topic but blu, I don't know if I told you I liked Tristian (the polar bear). I never got to make my entry because then and now I've been too busy with the stress of modern academia to learn much outside of school. If we got another mascot, I would be fine with Tristian. :-) -- ~ Hunter ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
