Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@mikewalsh Have you by chance checked out this browser? It looks really interesting:

@geo_c :-

Jeezus H.....

A 470 MB tarball.....for a keyboard-driven browser? When this is extracted, it's over 2 GB in size!!!

Contains absolutely everything needed, it says. Written in Common LISP.....and to even look at it, I'm going to have to install the very newest Puppy which is itself still in the testing stage.

Fossapup won't run it. The glibc is "too old"! It wants a minimum of 2.33 and upwards....

I'm sorry mate, but I shan't be going to all that trouble just to try out something I don't even like the look of..! This thing is not exactly what you'd call Puppy-friendly; even when unpacked into RAM, this browser + dependencies is several times the size of your entire OS. It looks more like someone's "conceptual experiment" than anything else.

There are limits.....even for me.

Oh! I didn't look at the size and realize the scope of the project. Somehow I figured the opposite because it was emacs like in it's approach . The website says it's funded by the European Union Next Generation Internet Initiative, so I suppose this is more of an operating system like Chrome OS.

At least we know to stay away from it. Far away.

Actually, geo_c, being funded by European Union Next Generation Internet Initiative, and apparently an operating system 'like Chrome OS', suggests that Nyst is an initiative whose purpose is to frustrate Google's objective of 'God-like World Domination' through knowing every thing that everyone does, and influencing ever decision everyone makes.
We should keep track of the efforts of such resistance movement, and when possible, assist it. You've been conscripted for that job.

From what i can tell it is using the blink engine and will use webrtc and google webstore extensions in the future so i think their resistance will be futile.

I'm posting from KLV-Airedale 14, seeing how it runs on a Toshiba with one 1.6ghz cpu and 2gb of ram. So far so good, but I'm using the built-in Firefox browser and a banner popped up telling me that they are using a DNS forwarding encryption service. The fine print, their third party can see everything! Wonderful, thanks Mozilla.

I disabled it, though it's probably less secure.
