I've installed Trisquel Mini and I love it. I love Trisquel mini. It's so
much faster than Trisquel on my Libreboot X60.
The browser it comes with is Midori, a browser I fell in love with when it
came around but the project died like 4 years ago and AFAIK it still uses a
build of webkit tha
Midori released new releases in the last 6 months - versions 6.0 and 7.0 use
a newer WebKit. You can install it via Snap:
github.com/midori-browser/core
There's also a newer version of Icecat (60.3) which you can install manually
by unpacking the tar.bz2 file:
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/60.3.0
Oh jeeze, I got that mixed up.
OH. Midori moved to github.
Hunnh. Alright. That's weird. So is there a special reason why the regular
Icecat can't be in he repos? I could run it from a tarball but I'm not savvy
enough to install it from one.
Similar to Debian stable, general policy is to freeze package versions on the
release of a given Trisquel version and then apply only security patches/bug
fixes. But the version number remains frozen. I personally like this policy.

Snap was removed from Trisquel due to freedom issues.[1] I have
submitted a merge request to backport Midori 7,[2] but I'm not sure

Does Trisquel contain a new enough version of WebKit to meet Midori's
requirement (Hyperbola doesn't)?

You just need to unpack the tarball and run the icecat file from the folder.
$ cd icecat-directory
$ ./icecat

If you're running it from the tarball, here's what I suggest doing so
that you can launch it from a terminal or from menus as if it were
installed.
If you have Icecat 52 installed from the Trisquel repos, remove it
I've been looking into text browsers lately. I also came across one called
'Links2'. It is a text browser which will also display images (or not - based
on preference).
I have found it useful to help combat procrastination. I find that so many
websites now are more interested in grabbing at

This worked! It's great! Thank you!

I had no problems building Midori 7 in Trisquel 8. I haven't tried with
Hyperbola, but I'm surprised it doesn't work, since Hyperbola stable is
based on a 2017 snapshot and Trisquel 8 is base
Doesn't midori suck anyways due to being extremely outdated and abandoned?
This is excellent!
I have some questions for you.
Q 1.
Do the $ mkdir ~/.local/bin-command make a folder/directory called "bin"
inside the .local folder/dir inside the "home" folder/dir? And if that's what
it does; any specific reason(s) for why u suggest to do this as the first
step?

Looks like Magic Banana has answered your questions already.
Since writing the post you replied to, I've written some scripts to do what I
suggested automatically and in a cleaner way.

~/local/bin on my system.
~/.profile does contain these lines
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
but I am pretty sure that I did not add them. I just booted

And I've updated the script I linked to accordingly.

What does it mean to "have it listed in ones PATH variable"?
>> In this way executing that file
Couldn't u just execute
"$ /home/$USER/icecat/icecat"
without doing the
"$ home/$USER/icecat/icecat > ~/.local/bin/icecat"
first, and still get the same result?

I'm confused by this. The version number of ABrowser seems to be regularly
incremented. But not IceCat? Does the
I tried this with the latest Icecat with a fresh install of Trisquel Mini.
I'm happy to report that it does in fact work, but with one extra step, you
have to reboot before Icecat shows up anywhere. Once you reboot, it's fine.
