BTW, I need one that is at least a little bit user friendly. It needs to be graphically based and I don't really care if help is very limited, but at least I need to be able to easily find out what key does what if it doesn't have a menu, and hopefully the default key assignments are normal, for example, if they were similar to Firefox or Chromium, that would be great.
I came upon Netsurf as it was recommended by someone here as a light, fast browser, along with Midori, which wasn't very light by comparison. If someone knows of another"light", fast browser that might work instead, that might solve the problem easily.
Netsurf in the 2.9-2 version, at least on my machine, has problems that if I try to select text and copy it, the actual text that gets selected is about 1" away from what is highlighted, so its very difficult to guess what text you are going to get. I noticed that this is a version from May of 2012, and that a newer version 3.0 came out recently, but isn't in any repositories. I looked at the changelog, and see a copy/paste fix implemented, so then I tried installing the newer version using their quickstart install, since its setup for Debian, but it fails due to a libnspr difference in version, which is coming from the antix, and if I try to delete the library, it tealls me that many. many web programs are using it, so I didn't delete it. I looked at the manual install, and it looks daunting, so maybe the answer is I probably should just give up on it and to find a different program?
Any suggestions?
PS: here is the detail of the error. I have the same problem and error when I try to do i=the install manually. It appears to me that the package manager doesn't see the -dev library to match the version of the libnspr and that is part of whats included in libmozjs, but I really don't know ant=yr=thing about C programming.
