EDGE Browser on FP64-V9.5

Post by Clarity »

Installed, today. Works well. Snappy performance. See here

I downloaded the DEB and double-clicked to add to system.

For future use, this will need to be PET'ed such that it launches consistent with other browsers of FP64-V9.5

@Clarity :-

The 'portable' build of Edge for Linux can always be found here:-

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

This has been built in such a way as to be usable across multiple generations of Puppies. To this end, any Pup up to and including Bionicpup64 will make use of the built-in 'lib' directory. Fossapup64 and other very recent Pups no longer use this, since they invariably have all the necessary libs by default.....and newer versions, too.

So; there's two 'Launch' scripts. Up to and including Bionicpup64, you start it with the standard 'LAUNCH' script. For Fossapup64 and other very new Pups, you start it via the 'LAUNCH_NL' script; this tells Fossapup to ignore the built-in libs and to use the default system ones instead.

Thus, one portable can be used with multiple Puppies. Posting from it now. Youtube is fine, though NetFlix still isn't functional for Linux yet; my guess is that they're not permitting the Linux release to 'see' the WideVine items, even though they're installed. Even the wording on the 'Error' page is different from normal....

Mike. ;)
