I’ve installed uzbl on my EEE today and have to say that I really like it.
Now, uzbl isn’t for everyone. If you like you’re full featured browser that manages all things browser, then stick with what you got. If you want a minimal browser that renders pages fast, fast, fast, then you might want to give it a look. By the way- when I say minimal I mean minimal. No buttons. No menus. No bookmarks. No address bar. No scroll bar. Barely a status bar.
I’m currently running Opera but I’ve also tried Iceweasel, Epiphany, Chrome, Safari and a few others that I’ve forgotten. Opera has been the best one for me to date, but uzbl is so much quicker than Opera on my EEE, I’m going to have to spend some time getting to know it. Even though the uzbl home page claims alpha status, the functionality is a very high level. It easily handles most of the sites I go to. The only trouble I ran into is accessing a site with ssl where a link opens a new page. That may just be a config issue- something I’ll look into.
The novelty of a minimal browser has me hooked for the moment. We’ll see how long it lasts.
