Thanks for posting that. Looks to me like the missing space before the backslash is a typo bug in that file. The other similar lines seem to have the space. I think I will edit the file in my remasters and see if any unwanted side-effects crop up. I might take another look at otter browser when I get some time.
Also still using Opera 11as full featured browser. For general day to day browsing I use Opera Mini. The trillions of extensions to be installed for Firefox was the first thing and still the main thing that puts me off from using it. Opera is also faster in my experience. The newer browsers are also getting massive in size, a problem for older machines.
Seamonkey is actually not too bad, is there a recent pet for the browser only (stripped of the mail, etc.)?

not sure if that would save much space due to the nature of how its built...very similar to trying to shrink libreoffice.
But same problem... getting too many crap sites using the latest javascript so blank pages are the result so need a newer renderer without the penalty of stupid bloat. There is that firefox fork called...erm...there's a thread on it here somewhere...which looked promising but it needs SSE2....supposed to cut out some of the surplus stuff.
libnss/nspr are mozilla libs ...usually in the path or linked to /usr/lib unless seamonkey/firefox are not present
The famous Puppy by ASRI for Pupils and their teachers uses Slimboat (Petit Navire) without any trouble. And Pelo (myself) replaced old Firefox on european Lucid 525 named MetroPuppy by its hungarian producer. Why not Opera ? because too slow. Simboat does the job on old computers still alive in 'Ministère de l'Education Nationale'
Tried on Virtual machine to check the boot of an remasterized ISO of metro Puppy.

Mike,
Was the firefox fork you were thinking of called Pale Moon? That one needs SSE2.

Another possible replacement for Opera (for those who want one) is Vivaldi, which is being developed by former Opera developers. I'm using it now in Sparky and it looks good.

Thanks, Colonel. May we have a link, please?
I've been using Opera for many years, currently 12.16; and usually under Lucid Puppy from rerwin.
I did look at Vivaldi in the past, but have forgotten how it seemed.

Sure Sheldon, I should have included the link in my last post;
Thanks for the reminder and link. Took a quick look at the current vivaldi. Running ok under LxPupTahr 15.12. I just extracted it to a folder in my EXT2 work partition and ran it there from a terminal using
so it would run as root. I'd make a wrapper and move that profile into my Browser_Data directory with the rest of the browser profiles if I were to use it permanently. Pretty good experience; flexible themes, imports bookmarks from ancient Opera , quick loading and rendering, Ghostery installs ok, pretty good tab handling but like all webkit/chrome derivs insists on tabs above address bar. I'll give it a pass for now and stay with my Frankencombo of Opera 12.16 and the newest chromium with pepperflash on SFS but integrated mail (M3) in Vivaldi is coming and that may tilt the balance for me.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
Unfortunately Opera has become outdated, pity as it was a very good browser. I would go with the latest Seamonkey, very good and generally smaller than the other bloats. For general browsing I run Opera Mini (which is still being developed).

Good morning, nic007. I'm not familiar with browsers. What difficulties might I encounter by using Opera 12.16?
Thank you.

Some sites just don't display correctly anymore and/or force you to use something else eg. mega.nz (which annoyingly asks that you update your browser to the latest version before giving access).
