Re: [Trisquel-users] Lightweight Browser
The question that comes to mind for me is, "lightweight" in what sense? I don't think anyone who requests a "lightweight" browser really understands what they're asking for. Here are a few possibilities I can think of: 1. Low memory footprint (e.g. because your computer only has 1GB of RAM) 2. Low download size (e.g. because you're running your OS on an SD card) 3. Faster performance 4. Simple interface (as opposed to a highly stylized one) Midori happens to be #1, #2, and #4, in comparison to Firefox. Pale Moon is just #4 compared to Firefox. Firefox (and Abrowser) is #3 compared to both of these other browsers. Any browser can get #3 just by turning JavaScript off. And of course, the masters of all of these are the command-line browsers, like lynx and elinks, and out of graphical browsers, NetSurf easily wins all of these categories.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Lightweight Browser
Palemoon is not a lightweight browser, it's a fork of Firefox using an outdated fork of gecko. Abrowser, which comes with Trisquel is as "light" as Palemoon, while also not being out of date in an attempt to preserve features no one cares about from very early versions of Firefox. Just use Abrowser
[Trisquel-users] Re : Home Folder In Places Points To Disk Usage Analyzer
It would fix nothing: the problem is in your personal configuration, somewhere in ~/.config, not in the system configuration. I am surprised there is no bookmarks in the file browser. I am pretty sure they define the places that show up in GNOME Shell's dash. I thought it was the same in Trisquel's default desktop environment.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Web Browser
Here is a Shell script that creates a table from as many user.js and prefs.js file as you want (the only arguments of the script): #!/bin/sh if [ -z "$1" ] then printf "Usage: $0 prefs1.js ... " exit fi printf '# key' TMP=`mktemp -dt all_prefs.XX` trap "rm -r $TMP 2>/dev/null" 0 keys=$TMP/$(seq -s " $TMP/" $#) values=$TMP/$(seq -s ".val $TMP/" $#).val mkfifo $TMP/keys $keys $values grep '^ *user_pref *( *"' "$@" | cut -d \" -f 2 | sort -u | tee $keys > $TMP/keys & for k in $keys do printf "\t$1" grep '^ *user_pref *( *"' "$1" | cut -d \" -f 2- | sed -e 's/" *, */'"$(printf \\t)"/ -e 's/ *) *; *$//' | sort -t "$(printf \\t)" -k 1,1 | join -t "$(printf \\t)" -a 1 -e undef -o 2.2 $k - > $k.val & shift done printf ' ' paste $TMP/keys $values After a header, the script outputs one row per key, ordered alphabetically in the first column. There is one additional column per file (in the order they are given to the script). In such a column, the value is "undef" if the file does not define the key (present in at least one other file). Values are tab-separated. The script will work as long as the input files do not include any tab (\011). Supernumerary spaces anywhere in the input files should not raise any problem. For the challenge (performance is not an issue here), I wrote the script above under a constraint: to not write anything to the disk. Only to pipes (and the final output is to the standard output, that you can redirect). As a consequence, all the commands executed in the two longest lines and the final 'paste' run in parallel. If you (or somebody else) want(s) explanation about part of the script, I can answer.

The forums are still integrated with the mailing list so the email address is still public.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Home Folder In Places Points To Disk Usage Analyzer
Places isn't a Bookmark. Ctrl + B shows nothing after the window pops up. :/ Would reinstalling the Trisquel DE work to fix this?

There may be people here who can help who aren't following this thread. It might be worth starting a new thread with a subject line specific to this project, summarizing what you've found, the purpose of the git repo, and what needs to be done. Since privacy information about Firefox forks will benefit Abrowser, I think this is probably Trisquel-related enough for the main forum (as opposed to the troll lounge). The evolution of this thread has been interesting. It has almost transcended the status of a single thread that has gotten off topic and become an independent forum with its own subthreads that are only tangentially related to each other but on-topic within themselves, but that keep connecting back to a main branch that runs in parallel to a Bugzilla thread. We've even begun to adapt to the emerging stucture, returnin to the tops levels for posts that require extra visability. There's a part of me that wants to just embrace this and see what curious organism emerges if we let things play out, but discussion of your git repo will probably fare better in a more focused enviornment. :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Nah, you're just getting the brunt of my anger at myself so I don't have to ask my doctor if Celexa is right for me. I just don't speak your language is all. Guilty as charged and drama queens belong on social media, not on the English speakers' Peer Support forum of the Trisquel boards. None of us are perfect and we all have our limits. Sorry for trolling you and trying to get my sorry ASCII out of here, just had to talk to Muhammed a sec there. I know you're not a child any more than I am "Aunt Tillie" or "the face of the Average Joe", it's just easier for me than using my own words instead of tired old stereotypes turned inside out and upside down. I wish I spoke your language but I don't. Peace out, dude, stay respectful, and you're in the right place for Free Software but you might be happier just calling it good and using this: use.your.brain.and.your.browser.to.find.out.what.Edward.Snowden.used.opensores.png if you genuinely have no interest in Gnu and/or free software. David, please just try to wait for my ban until it's been a full five years if you can? Thanks bunches.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
After some recent feedback from pyllyuko's project it seems this whole thing is very overwhelming. There are lots of undocumented variables for which they seem to dig in bug reports etc. Even if I succeed to make something I definitely won't be able to keep up to date such huge amount of info long term. This needs lots of man hours and lots of attention, especially for the cryptographic parts (and I am not an expert in that).

Now I am with mate desktop and uruk. At this time, mate-menu is a problem for me. When I used uruk 1.0, I faced this problem also. Problem- After starting or rebooting when I click on mate-menu it start after 4-5 second. After that it start quickly. But why it take long time at first time?

[Trisquel-users] Re : Home Folder In Places Points To Disk Usage Analyzer
For sure, the "Places" are the bookmarks of the file manager in GNOME Shell (what I use). I am pretty sure it used to be the same with GNOME 2. It would be weird that GNOME Flashback (or is it Fallback?) behaves differently. Try to find "Edit Bookmarks" in the menus or type Ctrl+B that should be the keyboard shortcut.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Visualization is easy. Extracting/storing/manipulating/versioning the data is the challenge. First I need to find a way to extract all the existing variables and their values from each FF fork and from the different user.js projects. Storing all that may require more than 2 dimensions for the data structure, so it may turn out more complicated than I thought.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
> There is sense: the telemetry component of Firefox sends anonimized data that help Firefox's development, safe search warns about phishing and malware, etc. > "Different views than yours" is what you call "nonsense". No. It is not "my view" vs another. It is contradiction of facts with promises. Mozilla admits that Firefox transmits a full fingerprint of the system, the way the program is being used and couple all that with your IP address. There is nothing "anonimized" about that, it contradicts the very definition of privacy and putting it in a "privacy" policy is complete nonsense. https://trisquel.info/en/forum/web-browser?page=4#comment-127197 > I defend the free software definition Please do it in a separate dedicated thread as suggested by Mason, so this one doesn't get repeatedly diluted with all that. > You blame the free software definition for not providing you the software you want.
