SlimBoat browser
Re: SlimBoat Browser
May I ask which website gives you the ssl errors? I am using the latest version 1.1.19 and have no ssl errors with gmail and hotmail.
Slimbot Browser
Not frequently. I have experienced SSL certificate error while logging www.facebook.com etc. This may be occasional glitch. Anyway I am extensively using Slimbrowser. Thank you all.
Re: SlimBoat
What errors do you have get on arch puppy?

Re: Slimboat browser
No segmentation fault or missing libraries message in the launching console?

No error found. Not launching at all.
Re: Slimboat
FlashPeak has just posted SlimBoat 1.1.20. Maybe you can try it out and see if it makes any difference.
By the way, where did you download this Arch Puppy? I might install it and try it out sometime.

Re: Slimboat
I just downloaded archpup-12.12.2 from this forum post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 851#671851 . Extract slimboat_i386.tar.xz (v1.1.20) together with the gstream libs listed on http://www.slimboat.com/en/dlpage.php . It runs fine for me.

If Eyes-Only says it's good then I must try it
Seems like some Slimboat developers found this thread so I guess it will be good if they keep it compatible with puppy from early versions.
With all these mainstream browsers going heavy on size and resources we pupians always like to find something like this as long as it has enough functionality and compatibility with current web standards, that's why I still use seamonkey but I'll test this ASAP.
Too bad it's not GPL/open source.

Just for the record here I haven't done any "official" browser work in literally years my friend. Since retiring I now just play around with them all - and I now prefer this state far better over the former. This way I don't feel guilty if I want to use another browser other than something based solely upon Gecko.
Thanks for that vote of confidence just the same though my friend!
Cheers/Amicalement,

I know what you mean
OK, sooo... I tried this on my puppy, it does seem fast, flash won't work for me though I tried to copy libflashplayer.so from seamonkey plugins dir to slimboat/plugins; slimboat/libs; slimboat/plugins/codecs; and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins - is that where it's usually located in lucid/precise since I understand it works out of the box there?
Also I noticed tab names and toolbar buttons don't always update according to current page.
EDIT: Oh yeah this is on dpup485, I installed generic linux 32bit package and added gstreamer libs from squeeze repo

Version 1.1.24 is out.
The gstreamer libs package on the downloads page is just an empty file at the moment. Maybe they are updating that.
Anyway I downloaded the Debian Wheezy gstreamer libs and included them and have packaged SlimBoat as a .PET which seems to work in Dpup Wheezy. Haven't tried other Puppies yet (though I know it won't work in Racy).
Flash Player is working (in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins).
With datafilehost you want the smaller "download" button.
The larger "download now" thing is an ad.
SlimBoat 1.1.24 Wheezy .pet
download = FILE REMOVED
Please see below for newer version

Nicely done, OscarTalks. Installed your pet, using Slimboat as I type, on Precise 5.4.3. I was looking for a lightweight alternative to Seamonkey as I'm running on only 256MB of ram.
Youtube works but with frequent stuttering of both video and audio. Using Htop to check the usage shows regular spikes to 100%.
However, using Seamonkey to view the same video yielded a smoother experience, with only occasional lags in video, none for audio.
Strangely when using SlimBoat, the Murga Linux forum is displayed in rather small font size but when I click on a thread, individual posts have the usual (acceptable) font size.

Hello zenn,
Thanks for testing and reporting. Tried a few YouTube videos here in Wheezy and seems all OK. If RAM is low I hope you have some swap. I think fonts can be changed in preferences but it is a new browser for me so only just started looking myself.
Anyway I have made another version using the official Ubuntu Precise gstreamer libs so this one may work better in Precise Puppy.
With datafilehost use the smaller "download" button.

Slimboat Comment...
I'm using UpUp Precise and Slimboat certainly lightened the load a little. Works very good except not so good with Youtube streaming video. One other comment, the Google Search link uses a customized Google Search and not the direct Google.com. Not an issue if you don't use it but it worries me that there may be some other monitoring going on behind the scenes.
That said... I like it. Nice, lightweight, clean and almost as fast as Dillo. THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH A LOOK AS A DEFAULT BROWSER FOR DISTRO MAKERS!

It looks like they have fixed the gstreamer libs download link now. It now points to a xz package of about 400KB.
