A Green Browser
===============
I am not very satisfied with the Firefox browser, so I've decided to try
something else: Midori. You can get it from
https://www.midori-browser.org/.
The browser's name meaning in Japanese is "green". I installed the green
browser the day before yesterday.
At least it renders Quora better, and switches with no problems between
languages.
I had found that something needs to be fixed in order to watch videos, so
I upgraded the GStreamer plugins. And because the audio/video is based on
GStreamer,
GStreamer only uses the rear mic/speaker sockets to play and record sound.
There are still some problems: the browser crashes often when I try to switch
to another tab or close one. When I start it from the comman line, I get:
** (midori:67787): CRITICAL **: 16:49:04.713: gdouble webkit_web_view_get_zoom_level(
WebKitWebView *): assertion 'WEBKIT_IS_WEB_VIEW(webView)' failed
failed to create drawable
I haven't found the source of the problem, yet. Maybe, after I run the Daily
process,
I will find something, but I don't like the reports because they are very long.
Meanwhile, I use midori carefully: I copy links in case the browser crashed
as I try to open it in a new tab. I also use LyX to prepare my answer to math
questions on Quora.
